Well that was some cookie cutter bullshit but at least it wasn't awful

Unless they had special security that night for concert facing rooms any idiot can do it.
No determination required.
Bring the suitcases one at a time from the basement car park from your suv if it feels wrong to stack them.

Listening to the sheriff, that's not something they could have done unfortunately. They don't have the resources to close out or even search the side of a hotel facing an outdoor venue like the Secret Service could have if it was something related to the President.




My brother and his wife were at the concert and I just found out that they're ok. He's a firefighter and he ended up helping wounded after they established a safe spot. I'm waiting for him to call me back.

 

[AstroNut325]

I'm late to the news, is there a motive identified?

 

[Steel]

Any significant developments? Been waiting for my lunch break to see if anything new has been revealed.

They updated the injured stat to be 400+. Guy killed himself before cops got to him. He lived in a retirement home.

 

[blackaroni]

It was in this moment, Trump truly became President.

 

[Wag]

Waiting for tweet where he calls the shooter "loser" in 5..4..3..2...

 

[Hubbl3]

Bullshit statements from the dude that does nothing but fan the flames of hate in this country

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

So did he call it terrorism?

 

[Zaph]

"Trump relying a lot on...faith there"

Rare time I agree with Kay Burley

 

[Machina]

Y'all I called my senators local office and I had this whole speech prepared and at the end the girl is like "ok I'll let him know your thoughts". Did I fuck up? Was there something specific that I needed to say? I feel totally blown off.

No that sounds about what you should have expected. She was probably playing Solitaire while you were talking

 

[giancarlo123x]

So did he call it terrorism?

As expected, no. "an act of pure evil"

 

[Haloid1177]

So did he call it terrorism?

No. Just evil.

 

[Nibel]

So did he call it terrorism?

lmao

 

[Subpar Scrub]

That was so shit, I'm going to bed. Stay safe, rested and hydrated friends.

 

[everyday math]

Absolutely no way he wrote this speech.

Most presidents don’t write their speeches. They hire someone to do so. I think we’re just so used to Trump going off the rails that it’s weird to see something normal.

 

[CKB3375]

Stand back, God’s got this one. Along with all the thoughts and prayers.

 

[iJack]

I've seen people selling grills on teleshops dealing with teleprompters better than this dude. He is literally almost smiling.

 

[mauaus]

... and may God fix gun control

 

[DieNgamers]

That was by the numbers, yo...

Well, he obviously lacks the emotion and empathy needed for a good speech. What did you expect?

... and may God fix gun control

;(

 

[FF Seraphim]

Well his speech did not inspire much in me at all, wasn't expecting much to begin with and yet I am still disappointed.

 

[Vinsanity.]

Absolutely no way he wrote this speech.

All presidents have people write their speeches.

Lol what do you think?

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

jesus, they interviewed the shooter's brother, the look of pure shock and disbelief on his face...

 

[BattleMonkey]

Is it confirmed that police shot him? I saw it said earlier he was found dead after shooting himself, so the police response wouldn't have mattered either way in that case.

It's unknown. The police arrived fairly quick, less than half an hour to get swat team to breach his room is pretty impressive speed. If he had over 200 loaded magazines, means potentially over 6,000 rounds of ammo were on hand. For all we know he stopped because he saw the police coming.

 

[5taquitos]

I'm late to the news, is there a motive identified?

No

So did he call it terrorism?

lol no

 

[Not]

Sure let's let God try and banish the "evil" before we try and banish the stupidly overpowered weapons that let you kill 50 people from a huge distance.

 

[Omni]

I mean at least that wasn't Trumps usual shit

 

[GameAddict411]

So did he call it terrorism?

It only counts if you are brown.

 

[theechrisfox]

That's some true red american logic. Only the bible can stop mass shootings.

 

[AusRoachman]

So it’s just pray for victims , we love god , ray of light bulls shit , whatever some Christian dude told him to say.

 

[btrboyev]

Well that was some cookie cutter bullshit but at least it wasn't awful

It was awful

 

[Z3M0G]

Holy fucking shit... cbc radio just reported 400+ wounded... is that accurate?

One fucking guy... if this doesnt trigger the biggest reform of gun control in the US... NOTHING WILL

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

As expected, no. "an act of pure evil"

No. Just evil.

lmao

Not shocked. He cannot call it that when it is a white person.

 

[Machina]

Mike Pence definitely wrote this

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

That was literally a nothing speech. Something he didn't write and clearly didn't want to say.

He sounded like someone trying to put a child to sleep with a book read.

 

[Izuna]

I can't listen to any more of Trump...

 

[gutterboy44]

Nations worst ever mass shooting, doesn't mention guns once. It is like talking about Puerto Rico without saying, "hurricane."

 

[Audioboxer]

So did he call it terrorism?

It's not an act of terrorism unless there is political, religious or an ideological motive. People need to stop expecting this to be called a terrorist attack unless there is a motive uncovered which would have it labelled as such.

 

[Zaph]

So it’s just pray for victims , we love god , ray of light bulls shot , whatever some Christian dude told him to say.

Faith. Unity. Coming together. American values. 🙄

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

This is some bible fan fic right here.

It might as well be a campaign speech, keep the political evangelicals properly saturated.

What were you expecting?

 

[Not]

It's never "terrorism" in these cases. It's only a senseless tragedy that can't be prevented.

Even in an attempt at an uplifting speech, you get the traces of white supremacy.

 

[Belker]

Did they write this as an appearl to evangelical voters / think that it would play well to the country music crowd?

 

[LiK]

So did he call it terrorism?

"pure evil"

 

[Steel]

Yeah 400+. And kids were mass murdered at Sandy Hook and nothing happened.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Wow you can tell he’s just reading that. No care at all

 

[Mahonay]

That speech was literally "Jesus take the wheel".

 

[superdeluxe]

Is it confirmed that police shot him? I saw it said earlier he was found dead after shooting himself, so the police response wouldn't have mattered either way in that case.

KTNV: said he killed himself. He killed himselfmpresumbly because he saw the police coming with the camera set up.
