Unhappy Horrific Las Vegas Massacre

Waking up this morning to the worst massacre in our country's history...really brings home how fleeting our life can be.


My heart and condolences go out to all, who lost or had wounded loved ones...from this apparently lone nutjob who committed mass murder.


It's just hard to comprehend.

My heart also goes out to those who lost someone last night.

It is so sad. When will it stop? This time the shooter is a 64 year old man -- much older than the typical profile. Prayers for all affected.

A good friend has children in Vegas. (He just texted me to tell me they were okay.)

Unimaginable.

Let me just say that I have had welcome news on Facebook. I should not say much more.

Without some kind of gun control , at least to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally disturbed and criminal element, we are going to see more and more of this. It's time to face reality on this subject.

I wish I could say I am surprised at this horrendous massacre in LV, but I cannot do so. I have never seen this country in such turmoil. IMO it is a breeding ground for events such as this.

Can't imagine it will ever stop.

In the absence of a revolutionary cultural change this will continue to be the normal.

He lived in nearby Mesquite which does contain a retirement community. So he lived in it?

He was a licensed pilot. Weird. Just flipped out?

Apparently he checked in on Thursday. How on earth could he get and keep that many rifles into that room without housekeeping wondering what's up???

Normal?

Such acts, to one degree or another, have always been part of the world, and will never totally stop. But I will never use the word ‘normal’ to describe them.

He lived in Mesquite, TX from 1998 until 2010. Then lived in a retirement community in Mesquite, NV. Very strange. He had lived in Reno, as well. The guy moved around...

Yes, normal. It is expected and will continue.
