People have become desensitized to violence. (Until it hits them.)I did a search and didn't find this thread and another AK'er pointed to me that there is a thread.
The most Evil, hateful and depraved act of violence is perpetrated against great Americans.
Its a terrible day in America's history.
Most of the media and others having no regard for those that perished and pushing their political agenda.
Horrible!
God be with all of those families who lost their loved ones and God heal all of those who need healing.
God help us!

How about the guy in the crowd that stood up to extend 'the bird' to the shooter ?People have become desensitized to violence. (Until it hits them.)
It seems as though most here are more concerned with their sound system, meaningless postings or Tom Petty's condition than the worst massacre in American History!
Horrible!
I realize this is a neautral forum but this is a tragic American atrocity, the worst next to 911 and its just as a normal day here at AK.
Terrible!
59 dead, 527 wounded as of now and 12 still fighting for their lives.
Wake up people!
Very dissapointed but thankful for this thread.
I'm seriously ready to ask the mods to totally remove me from this forum and erase all that I have tried to contribute because I don't want to have fellowship with such hard hearted, cold people who are more concerned with themselves and their silly hobby than what really matters most.
There are many good people here too and God bless you all.
As far as I'm concerned make it happen now and I'm out of here!

My niece surgery went as well as could be expected and should be home Thursday.My nephew's wife got shot in the hand. She is having surgery today. So thankful it is minor in comparison to others.
No, but his father Benjamin Paddock was a notorious bank robber, once appearing on the FBI's most wanted list, and was a diagnosed psychopath.does anyone know what was motivating this psychopath?
wow, that's crazy....we may never know what drove this guy to buy a bunch of guns and open fire on a concert crowd.No, but his father Benjamin Paddock was a notorious bank robber, once appearing on the FBI's most wanted list, and was a diagnosed psychopath.

We were trying to think of reasons today. It doesn't make sense. He did gamble, so we thought about gambling losses, and owing money to the casino. But if that were the case, he probably would have shot at employees inside. It wasn't job related--he was retired. Girlfriend problems? He'd have taken it out on her. Hatred for the music or its loudness? (It was extremely loud.) Doubtful. The only thing that makes sense is that he was acting out, as many of these mass shooters do, to make a name of themselves, even if they become martyrs in the process. And who knows if he was trying to follow in his father's footsteps on some unconscious level.wow, that's crazy....we may never know what drove this guy to buy a bunch of guns and open fire on a concert crowd.
i don't know why i think a reason will help.
We felt safe up until this all happened. Not 10 minutes after we got into the Trop, the shooting started. Who knows? The way he was facing, he also could have taken out pedestrians on the walkways, where we had been only minutes prior. We actually had commented on the yellow-shirted security that patrolled outside New York, New York, and we also figured there were undercover police on The Strip as we never saw one uniformed officer during any of our walks over the past two days.I've been to Vegas dozens of times and have always felt safe even late at night walking the strip.
Dang. Chill!It seems as though most here are more concerned with their sound system, meaningless postings or Tom Petty's condition than the worst massacre in American History!
Good job not mentioning religion.I did a search and didn't find this thread and another AK'er pointed to me that there is a thread.

There has been mass murders committed throughout history, ever since there were tools to use to make it happen.
What can be done? I cannot think of anything that would be effective at this point.
Silence for those who were gunned down so brutally.
