Look how quickly the media and Trump labeled this man a terrorist. Has the Vegas shooter even been acknowledged as a terrorist yet? Or is he still just a “lone wolf?”Originally Posted by october_midnight

The Vegas shooter is seen as a lone wolf, the act itself in Vegas is very much like a terrorist attack, but it is more looked at as the shooter was deranged. It is changing things here is Vegas, whenever somebody comes to Vegas and is told about some ridiculous rule that a casino has, it is because somebody somewhere at sometime did something for that rule to become relevant. My guess is for the New Year Eve celebration here, Vegas is going to have security up the ass more so then it already has.
Take today for example Halloween did you know, you can not wear a mask in a casino, the reason for this is casinos are just like banks and you wouldn't wear a mask in a bank. That is why Vegas has never been the go to place for Halloween, but Los Angeles is only 300 miles down the road and Los Angeles has some of the best Halloween events in the south west.

Pretty much every liquor store in the Chicago area has signs on the front door saying you're not allowed to wear a mask inside the liquor store. Which makes sense but it's still hilarious every time we see it at Halloween.

Okay so maybe I should rephrase that the Las Vegas shooter has not been found to have an affiliation with a terrorist organization. On a more humorous note it is funny to see people come to Vegas with elaborate costumes such as a Stormtrooper from Star Wars carrying their stormtrooper helmet in their arms through the casino. Its funny and sad at the same time funny to see a costume that has a threatening demeanor (Darth Vader as well) with a person wearing it that doesn't look threatening in the least. Its sad because this person spent a lot of money on a very cool costume and it looks so lame when they are not wearing the helmet.

Yeah well, I guess they should have checked the rules first, eh? Casinos have a ton of money in there, the rules make sense.
And it's a good rule to not be able to walk into a liquor store while wearing a mask -- be it Halloween or Ski -- but it's still funny to me every time I see these signs on the door at Halloween, mostly because I think "who the fuck would be stupid enough to wear a mask into a liquor store unless you're holding the place up?" but then I remember: lots of fucking stupid people out there.
On the other hand, this happened the other day in our nice quiet somewhat-affluent neighborhood, all the perps were wearing masks: https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/hi...d-at-gunpoint/

He yelled "Alla akbar" (per witness accounts) and left notes in the truck relating to ISIS.
However, he had a shitty lightweight Home Depot rental truck, and he had a pellet gun and a paint gun.
He's also from Uzbekistan and speaks Russian and English, so it's likely he learned this stuff online. Or something.
