I waiting for somebody to be so involved he can show how many shots were fire in all.
How come Sleepy hasn't been here yet??

This would be like a smarty is for a fat chick to him.

I'm wondering if the police ballistics people had a chance to check to see if all of those shots hit at an angle consistent with one shooter in one window.

I doubt that they did. The crime scene was "disturbed", shall we say.

If the wounded were able to put an x on a map of where they were when they got hit that could be used as a base to start a trace to the window on the 32nd floor. If there was any dna where the shells stopped that might confirm the person was within a short distance, in a few cases the person would be very accurate as to their location and blood would confirm it. Even if the person could remember which direction they were facing could be used in a 3D recreation. If a wall or something blocks the shooters view from the position on the 32nd then another location has to be looked for. Snipers could blend into the roof of any building so they would be invisible from the air.

Google earth most likely already has all of Vegas as a 3d city, import it into Counter-strike and you could have a map that could be used to show all the data related to the paths the bullets took.

The CSI unit would have swabbed all the blood-stains, that is all they need really.

That could also be worked out by analysing the accoustics of the gun shots from a variety of cell phone recordings. Echos, relative volumes the phase of the sound waves, would give the police the ability to build a 3D accoustics model of what was going on. It only takes two phones to make a stereo recording and there must have been dozens of them recording simultaneously.

All phones would have the very same time on them so that eliminates a lot of work right there. Tone and sound level and rate of fire could be checked against a database to show what the weapon was and how far away it was and what the ammo was. The weapon with that long, long burst should be the 1st to be plotted on the chart/graph.

Retired carpenter Greg Zanis puts up 58 crosses to honour Las Vegas victims

LAS VEGAS — An Illinois man known for honouring the victims of mass shootings around the country installed 58 white crosses on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday.
Greg Zanis drove nearly 2,000 miles from the Chicago area to install the crosses on a patch of grass near the iconic “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign, not far from the site of the Route 91 Harvest country music festival where 58 people were killed on Sunday night.
Zanis, a 66-year-old retired carpenter, made his first cross 20 years ago when his father-in-law was killed.
“That just changed my life,” Zanis said. “My first cross was for somebody that I loved. And when I put up these crosses here, I always think of my personal loss here too. Always.”
Zanis has become well-known for erecting more than 20,000 of the markers over the past two decades, including after the Columbine and Sandy Hook school shootings and the massacre at an Orlando nightclub.
The crosses, which Zanis said took him two days to cut and paint, feature a red heart.
He plans to keep the tribute up for 40 days before giving the crosses to the families of the victims.

'Fifty nine meat eaters dead. How many animals will live because of this?'; Vegan biz owner apologizes for Vegas shooting posts belittling victims
'Meat eaters or not, no one deserves to die like that,' Delinda Jensen says in apology

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — The owner of a vegan food truck says she regrets a Facebook post in which she appeared to dismiss the deaths of “meat eaters” in the Las Vegas massacre.
Delinda Jensen, 60, of Wilkes-Barre, said she’s received death threats and had to shut down her business after her post Monday night started going viral, sparking intense backlash both online and off.
Jensen wrote: “Yes I am jaded. Fifty nine meat eaters dead. How many animals will live because of this?” In a second comment, she used an expletive to say she didn’t care about “carnists.”
A gunman killed 58 people at a country music concert Sunday night, then killed himself as police closed in.
Jensen, a former adjunct history professor, called her post “a moment of stupidity” and apologized for it in an interview with the Times Leader newspaper in Wilkes-Barre.
“Was it poorly written? Absolutely. Do I regret it? Yes. I am so sorry I wrote that,” she said Thursday. “Meat eaters or not, no one deserves to die like that. I wasn’t celebrating the death of those people.”
Jensen said she became a vegan two years ago and started the Mother Nature Vegan Cuisine food truck with her son. She said she was trying to make the point that she believes animals are tortured and killed unnecessarily for their meat.
Jensen has since deactivated her Facebook account, hidden her food truck and cancelled her bookings, and installed a security camera at her home. Her son said people have driven by their home, shouting threats and obscenities, and they have called police several times out of fear for their safety.

Terrorists commit acts of terror. You don't think this was an act of terror? What would you call it?

He was just a good ole, All-American (white) boy enjoying his freedom and exercising his Constitutional rights. Some liberal snowflakes just happened to get in the way and get shot. Guys like that aren't killers. The blame lies with the ones who were slow enough to get killed.

More guns!

Pass it on.

'The warm-up' comes to mind.

How bad can the new spying legislation be? Exhibit 1: it's called the USA Liberty Act
Analysis The US Senate Judiciary Committee has unveiled its answer to a controversial spying program run by the NSA and used by the FBI to fish for crime leads.
Unsurprisingly, the proposed legislation [PDF] reauthorizes Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) – which allows American snoops to scour communications for information on specific foreign targets.
It also addresses the biggest criticisms of the FISA spying: that it was being used to build a vast database on US citizens, despite the law specifically prohibiting it; was being abused to do a mass sweep of communications, rather than the intended targeting of individuals; and that there was no effective oversight, transparency or accountability built into the program.
But in case you were in any doubt that the new law does not shut down the expansive – and in some cases laughable – interpretations put on FISA by the security services, you need only review the proposed legislation's title: the USA Liberty Act. Nothing so patriotic sounding can be free from unpleasant compromises.
And so it is in this case. While the draft law, as it stands, requires the FBI to have "a legitimate national security purpose" before searching the database and to obtain a court order "based on probable cause" to look at the content of seized communications, it still gives the domestic law enforcement agencies the right to look at data seized on US citizens by the NSA. And agents only need supervisory authority to search for US citizens' metadata.

No it's really to fish for people fishing for crime leads. They are the crime hiding itself. The legislation will be unpopular , civil war will obtain.



Confederacy was a missed oportunity.

That's right Blacky defend the guy.. he wasn't a terrorist, just a poor white guy venting his anger..

Talk about White Privilege.

How do you know he was a terrorist? I'll point out again that you don't know what was behind his actions. You can't say terrorism was behind his actions. Without any evidence that he was a terrorist, you saying he was a terrorist would be like you saying for certain that Jack the Ripper was an Englishman, even though you don't know that.

As for your rubbish about "white privilege", I'll remind you that back in the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties the definition of a terrorist to most Britons was a white man with an Irish accent.

Terrorists commit acts of terror. You don't think this was an act of terror? What would you call it?

But you don't know he committed an act of terror. Just because he shot people doesn't mean he was a terrorist. Hundreds or thousands of people get shot in America every week. Are all those shootings terrorism? Just because he murdered lots of people doesn't make him a terrorist, otherwise Jack the Ripper would be considered a terrorist and he (or she) clearly wasn't.

act of terrorism, terrorism, terrorist act. the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. coup de main, surprise attack.

This f*cking psychopath was using the "Ideology of Fear" to gratify himself. Thus act of Terrorism.

A loser like his father, the guy sure didn't fall far from the tree.
