Las Vegas mass shooting, updated as of this hour

I witnessed a family member speaking about this man. He explained that this man lived so quietly, maybe gambled in video poker a little bit, hated florida dust from farms, moved back to vegas in a retirement community of all places... (And you wonder where you stash 10 guns.....) this was one shooter who kept his mouth shut. He has been working on this plan for a long time. Weeks perhaps.

One thing stood out to me, this person, the shooter must have gambled very heavily, as if he was going to die soon and did not care that he spent tens of thousands and lost it all all of a sudden. You would think a deviatation from normal pattern of gambling would draw attention from the pit boss or someone.... I am a little bit of a gambler myself and control it with a very fixed dollar amount that has nothing to do with rent, food etc. or truck fuel etc. When it's gone out of one pocket, whatever chips won gets cashed into the other pocket minus a tip to the table girl and Im done for the day. I actually still have one of the dollar tokens from the large slot machine in the downtown 76 truckstop slot machine where I pulled 2 bucks and won 30 bucks during fueling one night near the luxor casino across the street. Tropacana road or something... I forget. But that coin is a keepsake.

otherwise I did my gaming in indian lands at Sky City off 105 in NM. That was before they built up and got really big quite fast.

We should have good gun laws and we do. It's the people who become evil for one reason or another that do these horrible things which hurt us as a Nation and will continue to do so as long there are people in positions of power who think now is the time to strike out laws writing to abolish some of our freedoms even more. The more you try to stamp out evil the more secret they become prior to committing future acts. And we will go through this again and again and again. As we have done before.

 

The police babbled about a known criminal history from the shooter... now someone says no history at all... what gives?

Maybe I take a short break see how all this shakes out. I caught the Trump speech on Cspan a few minutes ago and it was a masterpeice of speaking that the Nation needs right now. Well done. Takes me back to the Challenger loss too.

I say this. It's always something later on after a event that the real story becomes apparent. I try not to get too involved in the very early parts of a problem. Im more worried about bigger things like Kim Jung Un screwing up his demo in the pacific and accidently say nuking guam and wiping out 200,000 people on American ground.

I also try not to take or wear my heart on the sleeve too much, you can only take so many cuts before you have to say enough is enough. In steel hauling I prefer to think those cuts provided iron against being tired and weak at the end of day... a thousand of them at a time....

 

I wonder if Nevada's Court allows online searching by name?

Here in Arkansas our Court Records by name etc is online for all to see. It is relatively very easy to spend a few moments with a full name and come up with any records, if any are present for past convictions etc.
