In reply to the discussion: Rapper Kenny Clutch killed in Las Vegas shooting [View all]kiva
(4,373 posts)36. The mob owned the casinos,
and had a vested interest in keeping tourists happy and coming to the city - they did not have violent shootouts that endangered bystanders...a pipe bomb here or there, but mostly very quiet enforcement that did not alarm or injure tourists. These jerks don't give a damn about the city or tourism or the casinos, so I suspect Metro will be on it no matter what they believe about the culture.

Somehow I doubt the NRA will claim this could've been prevented by arming all rappers

When I heard about the crash, I said it was probably a rapper; I was thinking back on this news:
