I say no. A paddock is a place. There is no connection with the shooter. Further, his name will be forgotten by most in a few months, and he will be referred to as you did --- the Las Vegas shooter.

For example, it is probable that no one who reads this, other than a very serious student of firearms incidents, could tell you the name of the "Texas Tower Shooter," who killed 11 and wounded 31, after killing 5 others before going up into the tower.

It is even likely that most people don't know the location of the tower, other than the obvious, that it is in Texas.

Movie buffs might know it because of the Kurt Russell movie as well as the current flick on that incident. Kurt Russell - Rotten Tomatoes It was The Deadly Tower from 1975.

Gracie is right in Post 23. All opinions matter and deserve to be heard.

I think that you, just like most of us, are trying to make sense of this tragedy. It has broken our hearts and destroyed another bit of our sense of being safe. We are clutching at straws trying to steady ourselves against unfathomable evil.

Continue to tell us what you think. All opinions matter.

Tal, You hit the nail on the head. This is nuts, where does it end? Everything is offensive. GET OVER IT!

For some reason I thought of Paddock, but instead it was Paddock Mall in Ocala and would people get a negative feeling going to that mall? Probably not, and then I forgot about it.
