Vegas Shooting Death Toll Rises to 58; Over 500 Injured
David French Writes About the Strangeness of This Attack

The strangeness begins with the shooter's brother's revelation that the shooter "wasn't an avid gun guy at all" and yet amassed a small arsenal, including (presumably) illegal automatic weapons:

Not sure what it means. Sometimes things are just strange.

Meanwhile, a CBS legal executive said the concert-goers got what they deserved because most of them are probably gun-toting Republicans or something.

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

A country in which large numbers of people cheerlead the deaths of large numbers of their fellow countrymen is no longer a country, and people should be adults and recognize this, and do the adult thing. It's time for a peaceful voluntary national dissolution.
