America is reeling from the worst mass shooting in its history after 58 people were killed and 515 wounded at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
The shooting broke out on the final night of the three-day Route 91 Harvest festival, a sold-out event attended by 22,000 and featuring top acts such as Eric Church, Sam Hunt and Jason Aldean.
Police say the shooter was 64-year-old Stephen Craig Paddock, a resident of nearby Mesquite, Nevada, unloaded thousands of rounds on the festival taking place at Las Vegas Village from a room across the street in the Mandalay Bay Hotel at 10:08pm.

OR, more likely, a lot of people were trampled by those trying to get out of the line of fire. There's always a lot of bogus speculations in these chaotic incidents.
Another cause for reasonable suspicion IMO...
What has been the consistent pattern for almost every mindless mass killing for the past 15 to 20 years? That these mindless mass killings were caused by Muslims carrying out their Islamic jihad.
Why hasn’t it been determined at this point that there should be a presumption that until proven otherwise, this kind of mindless mass killing was from an Islamic jihadist.
...and islamist facilitator.
Aretz Sheva says he’s a recent convert to Islam. His wife is Indonesian. I suspect she is Muslim also but I don’t really know.
Unconfirmed report but cause for reasonable suspicion given the pattern over the last 20 years of this kind of mass murder.
In the US? Not really.
Why not? List the mass killings in the US over the last 15 years beginning with 9-11 - aren’t they all or almost all done by Islamic jihadists?
Not only that, but I imagine a fair number of the wounded were injured by the resulting melee to get away.
No. Like 4 were, I think.

That list is mass shootings, not terrorist attacks by other means.
Well, here’s an unformatted list what I would call a “pattern” of deadly Islamic attacks in the U.S., mass murders and otherwise.

Wow! Thank you for these incontrovertible facts. We are indeed engaged in a domestic war against Muslim fanatics.
“It took police an hour and 12 minutes from the first 911 call to locate Paddock in the building and break into his room.”
Why did LVOD wait 72 minutes with an active shooter?
This sounds like the Pulse massacre where the Orlando PD also waited way too long.
From the videos I watched..... sounded like he emptied three 75 round drum magazines with a pause between reloads. That's only a total of 225 rounds. With a crowd that dense, factoring high angle trajectory and ricochets off the concrete pavement, each round could have inflicted wounds on multiple victims.
I had that question as well.
Was he shooting all that time, or was he a corpse for 45 minutes?.....................

Hmmmm... Why —did— it take 72 minutes?
Prayers UP for all those innocents that were shot...
This is what I want to know, have not heard a reason.
Astute point - exactly what I was wondering.
That is indeed a lot of bullets.
