    WTF?

    Can never read too much into this - My facebook likes would be somewhat contradictory also.
    Sometimes you have to 'like' a page in order to be able to comment.
    Liking also gets the pages updates delivered to your newsfeed rather than have to actively look for them.

    Oh ffs. Give it a rest. When that right wing nut drove a car into the crowd were you whinging about him being called out as such? I bet you weren't.

    Fcuking liberals.

    Anyway, for what it's worth. ABC have just confirmed that the shooter was a 64-year-old white male. Not sure if that tallys with who this is rumoured to be:

    News channels are running with a different name to the name you clowns have been posting about in the past few pages.

    Time to start deleting those posts lads.

    Edit: Looks like the backtracking has already started.

    Look at his Facebook likes and look at the crowd he attacked.

    So, what you're saying is that this guy attacked a crowd of C&W music fans because he likes the rachel maddow show?

    This guy may be the killer buy to say he is because of what he likes on facebook... that's just dumb.

    Plus, the profile says he's from Arkansas. He probably like that music himself.

    It's the nuts thing. Literally the only thing we know about the killer is that he's a killer. It could be literally anyone for any reason. All we know is that he's a murdering c**t.

    The usual eejits on here look even more idiotic now.

    Shocking, the mouths who just post up peoples names and stuff to "get in first."
    :(

    I'd like to say I'm surprised at the absolute scutter posted here, but sadly I'm not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,950 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Well, that guy that was originally rumoured to have carried out the shooting has two reasons to be pissed now.

    1) He was named all over the net as having carried it out and 2) his wife appears to have spent the night with a lunatic.
    Going to be an awkward week.

    Some consistency would be good. The flow of this thread is filled with bias from every side and comparing it to other American mass shootings etc. is pretty amazing.

    Mod: Lads, linking to random Facebook profiles based on I don't know what, reddit posts or something? Jesus Christ. Don't.

    The only thing that flows in these threads and in comment sections all over the web is the diarrhoea from vile cnuts that haven't a fcuking clue what they're posting about.

    I never understood the desire of some in these threads to identify the person before initial confirmation and try to suss out this person's motives without even knowing for sure if they are the person in question. Its like some childhood cops and robbers thing. The Gardai are recruiting and God knows they could do with your expert detective skills. Oh wait. Absolute clowns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,568 ✭✭✭BillyBobBS


    The shooting went on for 7-8 minutes before the police got to him (or he ran out of bullets) according to some guy on Fox. I'd be very surprised if the death toll stays in and around 20 considering the size of the crowd and the advantages the shooter had from an elevated firing position in that time.

    Why do people react this way? Focusing solely on the person who committed this atrocity. All them poor innocent people, heartbreaking knowing all their family’s are waking up to this. Beyond sadness

    Humans are curious and inquisitive creatures. That's hardly news to you.

    It's human nature to ask "Why?" and we don't know anything about the victims.

    This is the begining of hotels having airport levels of security I'd say

    That's not the reason why people are posting FB links on this thread. It's to prove that the "other side" did it. Pretty pathetic all round.

    Sure. I'm sure I'm not the only one who went to Twitter and have a quick look at trying to find some info on the suspects but the clowns here who went into FB and pulled their entire liked page history just to fit an agenda is just sad.

    Innocent People enjoying themselves at a concert :( As a big music fan myself, attacks like this make my blood boil. Hopefully a special circle exists in Hell for the vile cowardly maniacs who do such mass murder. Absolutely sickening

    RIP to the victims

    That's awful. Nearly certain to rise unfortunately.

    This is a bad one. Over 50 dead now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Didn't think the death toll would be this high going by the full auto firing .

    Horrific situation


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭backspin.


    Stephen Paddock named in press conference now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,270 ✭✭✭clairewithani


    Horrendous news. Poor victims and their families.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,416 ✭✭✭sjb25


    At least 50 dead 200+ injured

    30,000 at the concert so it's unfortunately easy to see why at least 50 are dead. Must have had an M16 or M60 type weapon.
