Fox News ^ | Undated

Posted on 10/02/2017 3:48:25 AM PDT by Perseverando

A gunman turned a Las Vegas concert into a killing field Sunday night, murdering at least 50 people and injuring more than 200 others.

The suspect was identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock and authorities said they were "confident" Paddock's roomate, Marilou Danley, had been located. Officials previously described Danley as a person of interest.

Authorities said one on-duty officer was in critical condition and another was wounded in the shooting. Two off-duty police officers attending the concert were killed.

The gunman, who fired down on the concert from a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, was killed by police.

Gun shots!!! Vegas. Pray to god. Love you guys. Love you Pearl.

He is a mentally ill person. In today’s society all mental illness has been been normalized. Started in the 1960.

We just had a local whack job do just that. Family history of homicidal mental issues, brother is locked up in state mental hospital for murder. Guy had been planning his suicide and was at family home, grabbed his pistol, walked at the door and blew his head off.

He could have easily done something something like this.

The constant hateful bigotry of the left and their supporting media propagandists whipping them into a frenzy of hate is what causes this.

I’ve a lot of colleagues in CA, they literally believe President Trump is all the things the media repeat. It doesn’t surprise me at all that one is just a little too eager to bring “justice”. That is how they see it.

Sure, I’m just guessing right now, it’s just that I see them in despair, literally freaking out. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Sometimes these nuts don’t have the courage to just kill themselves and leave humanity alone.

Any 1st Degree murderer who survives needs to be put to death, plain and simple.

No mercy should ever be shown.

Forget about “...cruel and unusual punishment”, we live in an era where this kind of mass murder must be deterred.

though I am very much for capital punishment. It seems in this kind of case it wouldn’t have made any difference... the dude was crazy as hell, I doubt any law could have stopped him... its not like he was afraid of dying.. he probably wanted to...

“Also, police found multiple weapons which explains the different sounds. AR or AK is not hard to make full auto or just use a bump fire stock.”

Could you explain “bump fire”?

“Looks like 13.”

13th letter is M. People used to get that tattoo meaning Marijuana.
