As many as 20 dead, over 100 injured. Police believe they found the shooter on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Casino/Hotel.

OJ Simpson just got out of that Nevada prison yesterday and headed to... guess where.

Yep. Las Vegas.

Coincidence?

The wife mentioned Simpson too. I think the NFL still pays him $20,000 a month.

However much they pay him, it was reported on the news that during his time in prison he amassed around half a million dollars.

And it's all untouchable by any Brown and Goldman family lawsuits.

58 dead, 515 injured. Worst mass shooting in U.S. history, worse than the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting of 2016. The shooter shot an automatic weapon from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay nonstop, killing everyone he could. Police also found his dead body.

A woman I work with has a friend who was at that show, and she can't reach her.  No Facebook posts either.  She's hoping maybe she just lost her device in the chaos.

Well, let's face it---these kinds of things often are.  Of the top mass killings in the US, 2 were by Muslims.  But if you really need to get political about it...
 
 
CBS exec fired for ‘deeply unacceptable’ post about ‘Republican gun toters’ after Vegas shooting
 

CBS has fired the network’s legal executive who wrote in a social media that she is “not even sympathetic” to victims of Sunday’s Las Vegas shooting, given that most country music fans are Republican.

Hayley Geftman-Gold wrote, “If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs will ever do the right thing. I’m actually not even sympathetic bc country music fans often are Republican gun toters.”

Police found 20 rifles in the 64-year-old shooter's hotel room, according to reports. Remember he shot out of the 32nd floor practically non-stop, killing 58 and injuring 500+. 
Also hearing a Riverside County sheriff is in critical condition following the attack.
Please continue to Pray for Vegas.

UPDATE: Now 59 dead, 527 injured. CryCryCryCry

I can't stand that assbag Blake Shelton!  That doesn't make me want to mow down dozens of people with an automatic machine gun.

That's because these phony baloney "country boys" are all mouth. They write songs that glorify guns, but they'd never shoot someone themselves.

They've got their body guards to protect them anyway.

OR... they could stop promoting the violent mindset and culture in this country by no longer writing and performing songs that glorify guns.
