Of course, what happened in Las Vegas a week ago was terrorism.
A mass shooting is just that and it doesn’t matter if the trigger man or woman is/was an atheist, an ISIS Jihadi or a devout Episcopalian with a Jewish mom really into college jai alai. In these instances, religion doesn’t matter. Neither does race. Hatred knows no religious or ethnic barriers.
And as for crazy? I would have deemed the shooter or bomber or truck driver or hijacker absolutely insane regardless of affiliation. To get sucked in by ANY illogical movement because of psychopathy, or sucked into a religious fervor to the point you’d kill for it based on a promise of entry into some “celestial kingdom rife with grape laden virgins” or to get sucked into your own skewed cult of personality to gain infamous notoriety with a body count, is way beyond my sphere of comprehension.
Isn’t for you, too?
I’m no different than anyone else who watched the weeklong barrage of news reports coming out of Las Vegas with a lump in the throat, a sickening feeling….tears, too. But I forced myself to watch as many uncensored videos as possible. I read as many articles from legitimate news sights as I could stomach . I know more about this “bump stock” contraption than any arms dealer. I dived in, not to be morbid, but to be in the know, to empathize and even learn what to do should I (God forbid) ever find myself in a similar situation.
The shooter? Complete enigma.
Or not.
There hasn’t been a significantly revealing press conference in several days. So, this means one of two things, obviously: either investigators have nothing to report or evidence is literally pouring in free fall. There’s always a strategy involved in what cops are willing to release to the public. Sometimes, info is telegraphed to suspects or people of interest not yet in custody. If you have any doubts, go watch the way Chief Moose from the Montgomery County Police Department “spoke” to the dad/stepson duo known as the D.C. Snipers in 2002. Chief Moose is an educated man, yet when he was speaking directly to the snipers via press conferences, he seemed to use their vernacular.
Maybe we’ll never know the Las Vegas shooter’s motive or if he had help. Maybe the tens of questions we all have will never get answered. Despite the false flag nonsense from basement dwellers who just KNOW it’s the work of fascists, the globalists, ISIS, Hillary and Bill, Trump, Antifa, Daddy Bush, Obama and Soros, the New World Order, the Bilderbergs, The Reptilians, HAARP, the Illuminati, FEMA or the United League of Lettuce Pickers, Local #48735.
2017 has already been a difficult year, even before the tragedy in Las Vegas. Loss, illness, natural, disasters, terrorist attacks, political strife punctuated with violence, problems of all kinds touched almost everyone I know in one way or another.
I know I’m not alone when I say September 11th changed the way I look at airplanes in flight, especially in descent mode over a major city. It’s been 16 years since that fateful day. I’ve probably seen all the TV series, movies, documentaries, videos probably 100 times. I wasn’t in New York that day, but I can still hear the high pitch roar as the engines revved before impact. Then there was the horrible sound of the impact into the Twin Towers. We witnessed murder in real-time that day.
The same with the massacre in Las Vegas. I’ll never be able to hear fire works or gunfire, not to mention the horrible staccato sound made by semi or fully automatic weapons, in the same way ever again. And while I support the always debated Second Amendment, my question with regard to those specific weapons is, why should I?
