I have nine family members who were there on vacation, one already dead and my sister says my BIL isn't looking too good and that most of the people around where they had been standing were either shot or killed.

Oh sweet Jesus, Dr. Pepper, I am so sorry to read this. My deepest condolences. I hope anyone else injured recovers. I just turned on the tv a moment ago, I did not know what had happened, someone sent me a cryptic message that just said Vegas and I had no idea what it meant. Oh my lord, please please let no one say 'this is not the time to talk about guns'. Fuck yes this is the time to talk about guns. How many times has someone cynically said how bad does it have to get before we talk about guns? Is this going to do it when dead little children couldn't do it?

Dr. Pepper Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks all. Thankfully Grandma has been found (she had headed back to the hotel to sleep) and a missing cousin showed up (he'd fortunately gone off for a little hook up with someone). BIL still touch and go. 14 minutes ago, Lew Theobald said: Some people love to politicize tragedy. But then they'll say it's wrong when the other guy does it. Hell yeah I 'love' to politicize tragedy. I'm one of those assholes who doesn't want tragedy to continue happening and/or I want to lower the cost to human lives.

Everyone who does anything that they can claim is literally free money to them. They'd claim you recycling bottles if it was free advertising for them.

Morpheus Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 15 minutes ago, James Arryn said: No. edit: no, tyrant. Sadly, there is already a standard procedure to these things. Already the chorus of "Now is not the time to talk about gun control!" is resounding throughout the land, the far right loons are claiming it a false flag, and politicians are tossing out thoughts and prayers because that is easier than admitting that there is a problem.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thoughts and prayers to Dr. Pepper and anyone else who had friends or family involved in this tragedy. Kind of have to wonder given the age of the shooter if this might not be one of those terminal illness sort of deals that we discussed in the Politics Thread awhile back.
