Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

[Ericpwp]

A guy with that much money that knows he is going to die? More than a couple. That's what the other rooms were for. Don't want the girls to see the guns and ammo.

 

[hoosierdoc]

You're clear on who runs Infowars, right?

It's reported to be Alex Jones but I heard he really works for a branch of the CIA run by the KGB hold-overs loyal to Oliver North. I saw a document once on a plane that a guy left visible when he went to the bathroom.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

ah, thanks. Why do people try to insert themselves into stories by making crap up? And why does it always appear on infowars?

Boredom, I suppose. Not to say there weren't other people involved with him in the room, but the receipt part didn't hold up.

Yes, a man with the utmost journalistic integrity!

Hearing Jones on the Joe Rogan podcast... he actually is alright on a few topics. But once he strays into the inter-dimensional mind control lizards, that's where he starts to lose me.

I don't know him, that paper doesn't like him much
What a macho, gun-packing Instagram star did when he was caught in the Las Vegas shooting

Danny B. His MO is guns, booze, boobs.... and lots of money. Went through buds, but didn't finish, bought himself a role on Lone Survivor. He has a ridiculous amount of firearms.

"King of Instagram". Professional poker player too.

People were tearing him up saying he was a coward for running away, when he has a military background, all these guns, and acts tough, and disrespectful for filming while doing so.

He even stated he was leaving to get a gun, later filmed again saying that he had his gun and was heading back to see if he could help. He got back too late to really do anything, but he said he did take a woman to safety in his car.

People need to chill. Thousands upon thousands of people started running. Just because he's known for having guns doesn't mean he needs to stay and get shot too. He said someone got shot right by him, could have easily been him. I can't blame him for getting the F out of there. The argument about people like him should run toward danger is stupid in this case, because no one knew where the danger was. What was he supposed to do run all the way to the hotel? He found out that's where the shooting originated from when the rest of us did.

Whoever wrote that article and all these Twitter people would have ran too. I would have ran. It's easy to act tough when you're not there.

 

[Ericpwp]

Agreed, running was the best decision one could make there. Unless you had a sniper rifle on your person of course.

I would've scooped up my loved ones and GTFO.

Ditto

That too, assuming I was with them. Since Danny B. doesn't exactly have "loved ones" in the traditional sense, he did what was easily the best option. People blaming him for that are ignorant and watch too many action movies.

Hacksaw Ridge is real! But not everybody has that gene. I, for damn sure, don't.

 

[Hoosierkav]

By the way, thanks to fellow INGOers that have joined in on my FB argument about swimming pools.
SNIP

Is the swimming pool argument related to this, or an aside (curiosity...)?

 

[Ericpwp]

Radio is picking apart the sheriff's use of the term radicalization and the source thereof.

I've never even been in a legitimate fist fight. When bullets start flying from an unknown location, you bet your a** I'm out of there. I'd like to think that if I ever had to defend myself with a firearm, I would be able to, but I just don't know until it happens. I'd be perfectly fine with never finding out how I'd react.

 

[jbombelli]

I would have run up and kicked the hotel over, so the shooter would fall out the window and then the building would land on him.

Likely the "Swimming pools kill way more kids than guns annually, but anti gun moms love swimming pools because they are stupid ****s" argument.

Damn... that’s actually a pretty solid plan.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Some speculation on the 2nd window being broke

Las Vegas Strip shooter targeted aviation fuel tanks, source says

 

[actaeon277]

A breakdown by instance would be more telling.

Why?

People are making the argument we need to either ban ALL semi-autos, or ALL "military style" rifles because no one "needs them".
They are okay giving away something they have no personal involvement with.
So I point out swimming pools kill more people than ALL rifles.
If they meant what they said, they'd get rid of swimming pools.
No one "needs" a swimming pool.

 

[hoosierdoc]

why not make a big pile of ammonium nitrate and aluminum and then kill yourself that way? Burn the hotel a bit, get some more collateral damage, vaporize yourself and a lot of evidence

I'm sure there's a Chuck Norris meme out there along these lines...
