Feeling sorry today for the people of Nevada and the US. Writing from the other side of the Earth and wondering why?
I appreciate GimpChat's 'no politics' policy written by Oregonian so will leave it to other forums to discuss the ramifications.

With no political references, we can send prayers and warm wishes to the people effected and their families.

I'm in Arizona and it's certainly a shocking horror.
:(
Mental illness must be a contributing factor,
no one in their right mind would do such a thing.

I don't believe it was mental illness, delusional for sure. Too well planned out. He is just a real big A-Hole and he will burn in hell where he belongs...

Sad that this is now the new norm.

Agree with you racer-x. This reminds me of the Germanwings Flight 9525 incident where the investigation found the crash was deliberately caused.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525
It's a suicide, but involves taking as many people as possible with them. Maybe psychologists could take a long look at that personality type.
The Vegas massacre was by a guy who had a lot more than most people on this planet ever have and yet it didn't make him happy. Then he has the extreme self-importance to want to take a lot of innocent people with him.
Sad that this is now the new norm.

I think Americans are smarter than that. After all, you guys gave us the internet and I think you have a lot of respect in most of the world.
