(1,204 posts)I totally get where you're coming form that firing an automatic weapons into a crowd of innocent people is meant to terrorize, but I think terrorism is usually defined as some sort of political goals. Which could very well be the case and I won't be surprised if this turns out to be terrorism, but it could also be someone who is just insane and wanted to kill.

(2,795 posts)That sounded like a "machine gun" for lack of proper gun terminology.
This country is insane. What is wrong with people?

(16,207 posts)In my opinion, it had the clatter of a 7.62mm weapon. I could be very wrong however.
LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)Little to no doubt about that.....

(2,795 posts)So I hear all kinds of different firing and never heard that before.

(7,006 posts)Reading the whole post is not one of your strong suits......I.E. Under Cheeto's Watch (Outside of Charlotteville, VA which was specifically Racial Terrorism).

(51,308 posts)Easy to misunderstand it.

(51,311 posts)"Looks like the first Homeland terror attack on Cheeto's watch just occurred in Las Vegas." *
Notice the CORRECT placement of "on Cheeto's watch."
Omit "SADLY" as placed. In fact, even the Trumpian #sad would be tone-deaf right now.
*Factually debatable.
