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.

  Was he listening to Marilyn Manson, or reading Catcher in the fecking Rye?

  I need a connection to hate! (Here's hoping it was pop music and concerned parents ban pop music from the air waves).

  Peoples is dumb.
