Ugliness in El Paso today.
Without even touching the gun control debate, is it time to examine our society and figure out why this extreme behavior seems to be an increasingly frequent manner in which people express their anger?
The answers are out there in plain sight, but to paraphrase Col. Nathan R. Jessep, "we can't handle the truth."

What do you mean? Crazy guy stockpiled weapons for a week then fired 1000 rounds at a concert killing 58 people and injuring hundreds. Then he killed himself when cops got to his room. What’s missing?

Motive would be cool.

Aren’t we missing motive on a lot of these shootings though?
Not everyone posts a racist manifesto online like the El Paso shooter.

Thing to remember in Vegas shooting, nobody wants you to believe you are safe and happy more than a Vegas Casino. They want you to stay and play in a lovely air conditioned palace with not a care in the world, with free drinks, not even knowing what time it is. I believe Mandalay Bay and MGM Corp did its very best to not let any information out. No footage of the terrorist with gun bags on the casino floor, very little of him in his car in the garage, no statement, no responsibility. Hell, do you want to get drunk, happy and gamble on the floor where you saw dozens of videos of the shooter carrying gun bags to his room? Neither do I.
We were at Harrah’s a few years back and a dude tried a grab & run of casino chips. Dude was tackled pretty brutally, detained and I’m sure taken in a back room for a good talk from Ace. The tables closest to the incident were closed for about 10 minutes. Then, business as usual.

They do a great job of keeping a lid on things in Vegas.
My friends BIL was shot several years ago by a perp running into a casino where the cop’s then pregnant wife was working. Thankfully he was able to return fire and shoot the bad guy before he could hurt anyone

Yeah...sometimes, dudes are just crazy. Plus, they think he may have had an escape plan, so he may have wanted anonymity.

Seems a little fishy.

I think most just want infamy. They tend to be losers with few close family and friends. They hate the world that is indifferent to their existence. If their life doesn’t matter, they think their death will.

Wait a minute...are @ftwfrog and @SuperBarrFrog one and the same?? When HFrog quoted FTW is shows that it's from SBF.
Pretty sure I remember witnesses having a video from the valet parking area and it looked like you could see a gun being shot from about 4 stories up which would mean two gunman. Don’t remember them ever talking about that video unless I missed it outside of them saying it echoed so the witnesses didn’t know where the gunfire was coming from. They also have a video of that floor hallway that didn’t lineup with what the first security guards story that went to the room if I remember correctly.

Women's British Open being played on a parkland course. That just seems odd.

It does seem odd to play the British open on a course in a suburb of Fort Lauderdale.
