A gunman fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, in a brutal attack that is blamed for at least 58 deaths, police say. In the mass shooting and panic that ensued, 515 people were injured. At least one of the dead is an off-duty police officer who was attending the concert.

Editorializing: Interesting how media always emphasize ISLAMIC terrorists, but downplay domestic terrorism as psychologically disturbed individual lone-wolfs.

    Based on the comment to which you are responding, it appears that you are claiming that a Dumbocrat is a Leftist.
    Heh. You're funny.

    Oh, you were serious?
    In that case, you're just plain ignorant.
    Tim Kaine is a Wall Street lackey.
    There's absolutely nothing Anti-Capitalist about him.

    If you're taking your marching orders from Tim Kaine, you're being led down a Neoliberal pathway: exported jobs; austerity; ridiculous student debt; tax cuts for the rich; etc.
    You'd need a -really- thin feeler gauge to find any space between a Neoliberal Dumbocrat and a Reactionary Repug on the Left-Right axis.
    Probably on the Authoritarian-Civil Liberties axis as well.
