“You have to stop and realize how much it’s changed you,”

Yet five years since the massacre at Route 91, little else has, when it comes to mass shootings in the U.S. The suspect, a 64-year-old white man who took his own life by the time authorities entered his room, was identified, yet no motive was ever determined.

And the survivors, traumatized and struggling to heal — an estimated 22,000 people attended the festival’s third day — find it hard to agree upon anything. Even the official death toll is a point of fierce debate.

In another settlement, this one involving local authorities, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was ordered to pay the Las Vegas Review-Journal a quarter-million dollars after being sued by the newspaper over its lack of transparency during the investigation. When Rolling Stone reached out to the police department for an update on the case, officials referred us to a 187-page report released 10 months after the shooting that failed to determine a motive.

Bassett-Quintero, the woman whose shoulder is tattooed with a lyric from Aldean’s “When She Says Baby,” says it’s the lack of answers that have prohibited her from finding closure. Nearly everything since Oct. 1 remains unresolved.

“That’s the most frustrating part for me. I’m a criminal-justice major, and so I wanted to know the details. I just felt that we as survivors from Route 91 didn’t get that.

I have also come to that conclusion a long time ago, that that IS “the point with those in charge today”.

These Marxists and Corrupticrats in our government and around the world finally understood that we weren’t going to have a grass-roots socialist/communist revolution in the United States because our Middle Class is too large, too prosperous, and until relatively recently, too content.

So their mission has been to make the Middle Class smaller, less prosperous, and less content.

One of the ways to make us less content is to turn us against our government (FBI, DOJ campaigns to demonize us) and using COVID, to turn us against each other.

Their aim is to alienate people, to make us discontented, in order to foment their changes.

And that is also when Lebanese official Hariri was warned of an Iran-backed plot to assassinate him; he ended up in Saudi Arabia where he slammed Iran in the local press.
