So we all know what happened by now in Las Vegas. Amidst everyday people enjoying live music performance and trying to have fun in their lives was abruptly haulted by a man in a hotel over looking the event. The hotel room, now revealed to have been brimmed fo the teeth with 23 rifles modded to fire fully automatic. Nothing was known about the shooter, and much is likely to go unanswered given the fact the shooter was found dead on the scene. After siezing to fire for some time during or after SWAT prepped to move in.
What is known is that things quickly turned political. As if it wasn't hard enough, with 55+ people having lost their lives and hundreds more injured, things turned to instant blame being thrown about at every group you could come up with, from Communists to the far right, and from supposed "Islamic" Terror groups that have claimed responsability not just to this shooting but also claimed responsabikity not one, but two devestating Hurricanes that wrecked havoc on parts of the US and its territories, even worse happens to be career politicians like Clinton hastily jumping to her media channels to enact more laws that essentially remove citizens from their defense rights. This occured not after the event, but literally while bodies were still being removed from the site of the attack. This quick jump yo politics before even having solid intelligence on motive, much less a stable background of the attacker is beyond disgusting. But one thing is for sure. This event has quickly turned into an emotionally charged fuel in all the wrong ways, only being amplified by what one can hardly even call journalism anymore. Main Stream media sources from the US and even the UK were just as quick to throw in their two cents on gun control before even giving their condolences to the victims. Its no surprise given that most Main Stream Media sources backed up by their funnding lobbies exist to present an opinion for people to follow, rather than to support the people in a time of disaster and dispair.
At the end of the day howeverx there's much more information to find, and many more questions left unanswered. While media asks all the wrong questions, the Las Vegas Police Department is doing an extraordinary job at keeping the information on a down low. This is excellent news given the media only looks for stories for views, as it is a business after all. But its no surprise that the first casualty in any crisis is the truth, so the tight lips on the situation helps in monumental proportions. But to sum things up, the truth will slowly come to light, and with it, darker intentions will be exposed for all to see.
