You'd think by now they might have worked out that prayers do **** all.

Disgusting. RIP

What type of concert was it? I heard it was a country music festival. Looks like an attack on Trump supporters maybe

Radio says he had rented the room since Thursday and had 10 guns in the room. Probably one last blow out in Vegas knowing full well how he would end the weekend.

With all mass shootings in America, I instantly think its some lone nutter. A mass shooting/bombing/stabbing over this side of the atlantic I instantly think terrorist with religious/political agenda.

64 is certainly an unusual age for this sort of thing, guess something just broke in him and off he went.

Huh? I think you have me confused with someone else. I just want to know the truth and the motivation of the killer. Was this terrorism or not? If so, then what political ideology did the person have?

You're making sound like it's Trumps fault this happened.

Tombstone · 2 Oct 2017 at 16:17

I'm still wondering who the woman was who told the crowd they were all going to die before the shooting started. Seems too much of a coincidence to not be connected.

Yeah but ISIS would claim a brick falling out of a building and hitting someone in the head, let's be honest.

Where is the proof of this? Somebody made a post saying somebody said this without any proof. It'll be chinese whispers.

Its terrible in situations like this when the perpetrator is killed and it leaves that vacuum of the question of Why? So hard to fully understand what occurred without any way to get an answer to that question.

Well it's one of two things -

A) Pure evil
B) Mentally ill

For it to to be the latter it'd probably have been documented so it's probably just A.

Most of the time they don't show any emotion or understand themselves why they did it. Did that lad who committed the cinema murder a couple of years ago ever say why he did it?

The festival security said that they evicted a woman for shouting it.

Is it though?

We have sports fans who kick off at other sports fans purely because of the team shirt they wear.

We have tv shows like The Undateables (and many others) where the main body of the viewership is laughing AT those who have problems. We have tv shows of people being put into the "wild" and killing animals (often conveniently brought into the show for just that purpose).

We have a society where quite often the amount of flesh a person shows off, or how they look is deemed more worthwhile and important than what a person is like or thinks.

We have beauty pageants where young girls (and sometimes boys) are indoctrinated with the idea of looks as important.

We have "children" having children.

We have people shouting at other people in public that they dont belong here and arent our nationality.

We have people abusing each other on social media for trivialities.

And I could go on, I could literally list dozens of things. None of which are representative of a civilised and evolved society. Oh, sure, we like to think we are evolved and civilised, and to be fair, compared to some societies we are, but we are definitely (imo) not a good example of a civilised and evolved society, in fact we are a long way from putting aside materialism, prejudice and abuse.

yes it's nonsense. you've lived a few individual interpersonal conflicts and are trying to define a whole society by them.

I mean half your "points" that we are the oposite of civilized are that people talk loudly at each other.

now if we had public gorey executions that might be a point.

beauty parents and people being mean on Facebook are not the oposite of civilization
