OMG! SHERIFF SAYING OVER 50 DEAD. SUSPECT IS STEPHEN PADDOCK. DEADLIEST SHOOTING EVER IN U.S.

[anneboleyn]

THE SUSPECT IS NAMED STEPHEN PADDOCK, 64 YEARS OLD. HE IS DEAD. SHOT BY POLICE.

The scumbags on Fox were trying DESPERATELY TO FRAME THIS AS AN ISLAMIC TERROR ATTACK -- HYSTERICALLY SPREADING LIES TO LOW INFO AUDIENCE -- constantly saying "terrorist" and saying we need to check the "terrorist's foreign contacts" and "foreign radicalization" before the sheriff identified the suspect. Fuck these people. Now Fox is trying to argue that maybe the veterans on stage were the target of the shooter. I am like you stupid fuckers -- this guy was trying to KILL EVERYBODY. FUCK YOUR LIES FOX. He clearly had training and planned the attack from this room. He wanted to kill whoever he could kill at an outdoor concert filled with parents and their children, women and children, elderly folks, all ethnic backgrounds, etc.

FOX IS STILL SAYING ISLAMIC TERRORISM. SERIOUSLY, THEY NEED TO BE FINED FOR DELIBERATELY SPREADING LIES AND PROPAGANDA. THE SHERIFF EVEN TOLD THESE FUCKERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO STOP SPREADING LIES AND MISINFO.

This guy had a FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPON (like a machine gun in a movie -- just pull the trigger once and spray gunfire everywhere). Fox is now debating the "skill sets" of snipers vs those using fully automatic weapons. Whoever they are talking to says the guy obviously had training -- his guess is military training.

Now, I am sure, Fox will spread propaganda about him being anti-Trump or something. They are truly appalling.

The sheriff is choking back tears. This is awful.

This is a HORRIFIC incident. OVER FIFTY DEAD!! Over 200 hurt and many are critical and serious. Omg. Tears.

Entertainer at concert being interviewed: she is saying that Americans of all creeds and all colors were represented and present at this concert, and she said it was a beautiful, peaceful, and perfect symbol of America at its best. Veterans were being honored on stage, and many vets were present. Great cheering for vets and love all around. Then this horrible shit happened.

1. This is unbelievable.

If the number is correct, this is worse than the Pulse nightclub shooting.

[Pachamama]

3. And since the death toll and number of injured more than doubled, my guess in coming hours it will

....increase higher....

This is a massacre....committed by an American citizen on its own citizens, using a weapon designed for war that should never be allowed in the hands of civilians in the population in any nation...

2. Fucking hell

It's shocking. I knew it was going to be bad but..fuck.

[Skidmore]

4. Tried googling this name

and saw a link to some forum where there was a claim that the shooter was an "alt-left Trump supporter". Didn't click on it and the forum was not one I had heard of before.

[anneboleyn]

5. Yeah, the Trumpers will definitely be claiming this -- it certainly gives Trump a way to pivot from

the disaster in Puerto Rico.

[Kittycow]

6. I saw that too..very early on! Didn't click either.

[anneboleyn]

7. Exactly. Any idiot can post something like this on a message board (and the Alex Jones types will

believe it no matter what information comes out)

[anneboleyn]

8. Do you mean "alt-right Trump supporter" -- "alt-left Trump supporter" is a weird combo but whatever

[VOX]

11. Mentioned here:

[anneboleyn]

12. Thank you for the link Vox. They are so desperate to create a left-wing, anto-Trump straw man

[MichMary]

15. Yeah, like

James Hodgkinson.

[anneboleyn]

9. I guessed it. Rumors that Trump plans to cancel Puerto Rico trip b/c of this incident. Fucker

will look for anything to distract from his HUGE failure in Puerto Rico.

[uponit7771]

10. FAUX news is full of assholes

[anneboleyn]

13. DEFINITELY true. What disgusts me is how they deliberately make false claims AFTER police

have stated that this wasn't Islamic terrorism or connected to ISIS, etc. Fox is still desperate to make this about Islamic terror (they are probably hoping he's a left-wing anti-trump now)

[GreenEyedLefty]

14. It's only going to get worse.

After Sandy Hook when a classroom of first graders was calmly and methodically mowed down and NOTHING was done, mass shootings fail to shock me.

Who knows what the death toll will have to be for people to say, "enough is enough."

[Johnny2X2X]

16. Exactly

Whenever anyone brings up gun control, I say the same thing. If nothing was done after Sandy Hook, nothing will ever be done.

Paddock had weapons that citizens shouldn't be allowed to own, period. There is no legitimate use for weapons and large magazines except for what happened last night. Not good for hunting. Terrible for home defense. Great for mass killings.

17. Fully automatic is illegal.

The SOB was a gun nut.

Probably an illegal modification of a semi-automatic.
