The prices have gone back up but there are still a number of low-lifes cruising the Strip (although not as much as a year ago.

We have a local County-wide community watch group on FB. It’s a lot of busy-bodies going around taking pictures of motorhomes and tweeking street people. Yesterday, one of them posted that she got her $900 glasses slapped off her head and stomped on by an arm-waving crazy. My reaction is “Did ya learn anything?” A lot of their activities, however well-intentioned, are not too bright.

Why not dead instead of taken into custody?

Attorney with a $50,000 watch, $7,100 Paolo Scaffori shoes and a $12,000 suit: "Hey, and put me outta business? No way."

Fashion note: These are bespoke suits, meaning sewn from scratch, and they always use all-natural materials

Wouldn’t have called the cops..Just taken him to the desert, never to be heard from again...The only crime the mob allowed was when they did it

I think they try “common-sense” solutions like banning pointed knives before they try for an outright ban.

Re: "Details of suspect age, race, etc. have not been released"

They need a couple hours to completely wash away his neo-Marxist social media presence.

Or, a couple hours to dig up and fully inform the Main Stream Media of any Right Wing affiliations.

“This kind of crap never happened when the mob ran Las Vegas...”

You’re right. It didn’t. I was in Vegas about a year ago, and the biggest change I noticed compared to previous visits was how sleazy the crowd loitering on the strip has become. So many young aspiring rapper types hanging out on the strip smoking marijuana. I don’t mean a few such thugs. I mean 100s of them. The legalization of cannabis has definitely changed the atmosphere.

“The initial altercation or the initial stabbing occurs on the sidewalk area, appears unprovoked — there is no altercation beforehand,” LVMPD Deputy Chief James LaRochelle told reporters.

The suspect then walked south from the initial attack and proceeded to stab more people, which was seen by “scores of witnesses,” LaRochelle said. A concerned citizen alerted a security guard at the Sands Hotel and Casino, who then called police.

The suspect is described as a male in his early 30s who is not a local resident and appears to come to the community recently. Police are still working to verify his identity.

Note they omitted the other local news report “Hispanic male” and made it nice and tidy.🤬

This is why you should - and why you should tell everyone you know, esp those you love to - carry a weapon. At least pepper spray.

A bunch of little kids and their caretakers, and a crazy man’s family, died earlier today in a stabbing attack on the other side of the world. Some of the little kids, according to the report. were asleep when Crazy Man went crazy on them.

I dimly recall posting about how it’s not responsible or well-considered to flaunt mask laws and getting a bunch of crap over it. Is it worth getting killed over to support garbage entertainment and the “lifestyle” of gambling?

Las Vegas needs us. We don’t need it. Stay away from crowds and in particular crowded venues. It’s too late to save the culture. Get out while you can and make sure some of our values are preserved.

If you must attend or you must work or you can’t otherwise escape: See the above advice about carrying a weapon. It really makes all the difference. It can be something tiny, like a charm on a charm bracelet. But the best policy is just getting out of it and staying away from it.

Where were the men with guns who could have stopped the killer within seconds had one of them been there. What should and would happen next in an truly civilized country is a public hanging following a guilty verdict, both to be accomplished before the end of the month. That’s in a civilized country!

Anything over 2 1/2 “ I believe. Scots can only have their traditional small stocking knife if they are wearing a kilt.

Last time I was there around 10 years ago it was getting pretty skeevy.
Seen some recent vids that convinced me to go to the Maine coast instead..
