Shooting at Mandalay Bay Resort (Las Vegas)

[The Northern Baptist]

I'm trying to watch this on the news, but the BBC considers it more important to interview a man who's having to go through the horror of claiming the cost of his £80 flights from his credit card company after Monarch went bust.

The largest repatriation of British citizens in peace time is currently under way due to the Monarch crisis. Why would a mass shooting in the states, which let’s face it is a regular occurrence, take precedence over the monarch situation on British television ?

It's been on non-stop since I posted that. But I turned it on to watch about Las Vegas and had to sit through 15 minutes of this Monarch story first. No problem with covering it, but the seriousness and severity of this interview with a bloke who's been slightly inconvenienced seemed a bit ridiculous.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Hmm, not the usual profile (I don't think).

CNN 'journalists' and 'experts' are truly awful at handling this. They are imbecilic and excruciating.

Can we leave out the political point scoring please unless you are looking for a ban.

Terrifying, you'd have no idea where it was coming from.

50 dead so far

Gonna sound weird but I’m so relieved he’s a white male. The last thing the states needs right now is more racial or religious tension.

Beyond belief just mind boggling

Can't believe that during the gunfire, one guy is running off with his fucking pint in one hand!! Just get out of there asap not worry about your beer!!

They have found the woman now as well.

That depends. If he's either an extreme left-wing or right-wing nutter, it could be even worse.

Truly shocking. That must make it one of, if not the worst, mass shootings in US history?

The worst one was the Pulse Nightclub last year. That was 49. So yeah, this is now the worst.
