I watched about 15 seconds of the video and this is no ordinary lone wolf going postal. Chilling.

I totally get where you're coming form that firing an automatic weapons into a crowd of innocent people is meant to terrorize, but I think terrorism is usually defined as some sort of political goals. Which could very well be the case and I won't be surprised if this turns out to be terrorism, but it could also be someone who is just insane and wanted to kill.

That sounded like a "machine gun" for lack of proper gun terminology.

This country is insane. What is wrong with people?

In my opinion, it had the clatter of a 7.62mm weapon. I could be very wrong however.

Reading the whole post is not one of your strong suits......I.E. Under Cheeto's Watch (Outside of Charlotteville, VA which was specifically Racial Terrorism).

"Looks like the first Homeland terror attack on Cheeto's watch just occurred in Las Vegas." *

Notice the CORRECT placement of "on Cheeto's watch."

Omit "SADLY" as placed. In fact, even the Trumpian #sad would be tone-deaf right now.

*Factually debatable.
