Just listened to audio taken by some Ausie’s, I swear I heard two guns firing at once, echo maybe but I don’t think so, 2 different rates of fire and different pitch.

If there were around 20,000 people there, this would mean he hit about 3% of them and killed .3%

I don’t care how target rich it is, that’s a LOT of hits. And that doesn’t include all the bullets that hit nobody.

Just like they buried the Orlando shooting. That incident involved 3 left protected groups—muzzies, fags, and hispanics.

With Zero at the helm, the shooting dissapeared quickly from the media and the fags and muzzies got thrown under the bus

That’s crazy. Just knock out the corner windows adjacent.

Clearly, you don't know where the walls are located in the suite.

Absolutely.

With High Velocity rounds hitting concrete and asphalt, the rounds sometimes create several projectiles out of the concrete and asphalt that can be lethal in their own right.

I once got 4 stitches from a pebble kicked up by a round that hit 20 yards from me.

Yeah. What's with that.

If only one of those folks attending the C&W music performance had been carrying an M79 grenade launcher, think of all the lives that might have been saved. Poonk!
