A woman mingled with the crowd and told people they were going to die. My son showed me video that looks like shots were fired from 4th floor too.

My friend is alive, on life support... she was shot in the head. I am not really the praying kind and I find myself calling out to SOMETHING in these times...

What the FUCK IS WRONG with us as humans? Why?

And I don't give a fuck because I am sure there are a million pro gun people reading this.. but why must we have ARs that shoot 100 bullets a second? What is that for? WHY?

Not where you're posting.

I'm sorry about your friend. That's fucking insane. Not being the praying type makes shit like this even more difficult. It's all random and nothing makes sense. And I'm sorry about that.

OMG! I'm so sorry! I hope she pulls through

There is absolutely no purpose to having high capacity magazines unless you're going to do this kind of mass shooting. USA Today reported that judging by the sound and inconsistency of the gun fire, that it's possible he had a conversion kit (cheap and legal to buy) that turned the gun in to a turreted kind of deal that was capable of firing up to 700 rounds per minute.

WHO NEEDS THAT KIND OF FIRE POWER EVER?!

Terrorists.

I am at a loss for words. I am at a complete loss.

And Tom fucking Petty died too? Like.. what the hell kind of Monday is this!?

Damn soul, my heart breaks for you and your friend. I don’t pray but I will think good thoughts for your friend.

[marycontrary]

I'm so sorry Soul. Being so far away makes it hard.

[Music]

This is why we can't have nice things.

What an asshole.

I hate guns. There's absolutely no reason for someone to have a gun that does that much damage that quickly.

[Music]

So sorry, soul. This sucks.
Call it what it fucking is. This dude was a terrorist.

no one needs a fucking ARSENAL.

A guitarist who played during the Las Vegas music festival where the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history took place Sunday night said he was ?wrong? about his support for the Second Amendment.

Caleb Keeter, guitarist for the Josh Abbott Band, said on Twitter Monday he?s been a supporter of the Second Amendment for his ?entire life.?

?Until the events of last night,? Keeter said. ?I cannot express how wrong I was. We actually have members of our crew with [concealed handgun licenses], and legal firearms on the bus. They were useless.?

Keeter said members of the band?s crew were injured by shrapnel after standing near a shooting victim.

?Writing my parents and the love of my life a goodbye last night and a living will because I felt like I wasn?t going to live through the night was enough for me to realize that this is completely and totally out of hand,? Keeter wrote.

?We need gun control RIGHT. NOW.?

?My biggest regret its that I stubbornly didn?t realize it until my bothers on the road and myself were threatened by it,? he continued.

In a later tweet, Keeter said his previous stance on gun control was ?wrong, stupid, and selfish.?

Democrats ramped up their calls for stricter gun control laws in the wake of the shooting. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said he?s ?furious? that Congress ?refuses to act.?

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) was more forceful, calling on Congress to ?get off its ass and do something? following the shooting.

At least 58 people were killed and 500 others injured in the Las Vegas shooting.

[Music]

I don't give a shit about handguns, I have two myself. But, a fucking military style rifle that can pick off over 500 people in minutes? No, fuck that. No one needs that shit.

Here come the conspiracy assholes. This was done to disarm "us."

Blahblahblah false flag blahblahblah

[Music]

FAKE NEWS or something.

[PeaceBeWithMe]

I'm so sorry, Soul. So very sorry.

My coworker has a dance teacher for her daughters. This teacher was there. By the grace of God, she's sitting at the airport waiting for a flight home.

I just cannot even imagine.

[Nomad]

Some dipshit I went to high school with (who will soon be removed from my FB) is trying to say that liberals were cheering after this happened because it was a conspiracy to get tougher gun control laws.

Yeah, it didn't really happen and those dead were actors. Nothing to see here.

I started a victim list on the first post in this thread. I will update it as they are confirmed.

When I see what these people think liberals do, I hate liberals myself. WHERE DO THEY GET THIS SHIT THOUGH!?!?

[merdeath]

Sorry if there's already a thread, I did search but my MDS skills are pretty rusty at the moment.


I'm confused about how long ago this happened because people seem to be freaking
out on Twitter like there's still a threat right now (which is how I found out about it) but this news article is time-stamped 6.54am 1Oct? Even with my time difference to Las Vegas (it's 5.32pm 2 Oct where I am), it seems this was first posted quite a few hours ago? So either there's a fuckup with the timestamp, or the shooter/s has been running around for hours


http://metro.co.uk/2017/10/02/two-ac...vegas-6970066/





Edit, duh I should've said it was published 6.54am 2 Oct & I now realise it's London time - so yeah, it's pretty recent & ongoing

Thank you all for the support and well wishes. This is just un fucking real.


I hope Kristina doesn't make the list.. and I am so very sorry for those that did.

I saw a video clip on Twitter of the shooter from a nearby building.. https://twitter.com/camkobo (2-3 postings down.. )

I admit I have only been concerned for my friend in all of this.. but is anyone saying how long the shooting took place? I assume not long.. They were sitting ducks. All of them! I used to fear cancer and illness in general (then I got cancer and saw what a pussy it is), but now I am terrified for getting stuck in the Ted Williams Tunnel for more than thirty seconds because someone could come through and blow their car up and we would all be dead. .


ETA I love the shittiest reality tv of all time. so don't judge me on following that dink

[soultosqueeze]

Sorry to double post especially after just editing my last post.. BUT

I see that Gofundme's have been started by the State of Nevada because people can't afford their care.
