I figure there must be a reason, though. Either with the illumination they couldn't see windows out, or they were having to canvas a lot of different buildings/areas, not sure the gunshots were coming from there. I don't know. Anyone have a photo of the building at night?

Yeah, that's what I think, that this guy had a hard-on for Vegas and this concert presented a great soft target for him. Evil exists and is proliferating.
Please pray for the victims and heir friends and families. I live here and the news has numbed me.

I heard it was one room, and the windows were at about a 45 degree angle to each other. The rifle fire could be seen coming from the windows, I hear today.

This so similar to the Texas Clock Tower shooting in 1966, but on steroids. Being armed in this type of attack is no help. I hope this is not some kind of light bulb for others.

While it is not that rare, man being totally evil to man. It is a rare bird that says today I am going to die and take as many as I can with me. We are programmed via DNA to love life, and found that out on D Day that not all men find it easy to kill. Back to your point Tom, it shows soft targets that contain large numbers of people will become a huge problem once someone figures how not to die with the target.

Thanks. I think that shows the broken windows might not have stuck out like a sore thumb as they do now, plus it gives a view that reminds of of the various views police had from the ground that night, different buildings and such.

TOO LATE....“I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being TOO LATE. " Martin Luther King

Exactly how neccessary or true is that thumbnail? The answer is neither.

Stop embarrassing yourself.You trivialize one of the most horrendous reigns of terror of the 20th century

It seems like an awful lot for 1 person to do. Why would he need 2 windows out?

It reminds me of the movie Jack Reacher, where a person was expertly framed.

I commented about how horrible some memes have been today, pointing at liberals.

You just outdid them, so deserve equal recognition for being really horrible with that image.

They were at 45 degree angles, giving him two different views of the crowd.
Evidently he took turns firing out of both of them.

Liberal clap-trap. Sounds like Obama talking about being on the right side of history. Which, by coincidence, was always the side he was on.

The "thing-oriented" society, which is to say free market capitalism, is what pulled civilization out of the muck of slavery and feudalism, where a ruler and a few nobles owned everything, including the services of the common people.

King did good work. But without the progress of the "thing-oriented" society, he would never have had the freedom or the resources to do that work.

And what in the wide, wide world of sports has this got to do with some fruit cake on a murder spree?

Of all the people to act self-righteous.

The peanut gallery is heard from.

I challenge you to find one, just one, political meme I've ever posted on the forum.

Some of you guys sure feel threatened by me.
