Re: Mass shooting at music festival on the Las Vegas strip
It's pretty disturbing. AFAIK, the weirdo right-wing sites did just pick this guy Geary Danley at random because he has the same surname as the girlfriend. He's a witch. (Or even worse, a Democrat.)xxxxxxx wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2017 7:17 pm Where is this name 'Geary Danley' coming from, besides a few right-wing wacko websites trying to blame this mass murder on Trump-haters? The female companion's surname is Danley. The police themselves said the suspect, killed with all the guns in his room, is that Stephen Paddock cunt.
The proof that if something gets repeated enough online, then it becomes a "fact", and even more so if it is picked up by giants like google, twitter and FB, as happened in this case.
Facebook and Google promote politicized fake news about Las Vegas shooter
Facebook and Google promoted false news stories claiming that the shooter who killed more than 50 people in Las Vegas was a Democrat who opposed Donald Trump. The misidentification spread rapidly from dark corners of the internet to mainstream platforms just hours after hundreds were injured at a festival near the Mandalay Bay casino, the latest example of fake news polluting social media amid a breaking news story.
The flow of misinformation on Monday illustrated a particularly grim trend that has increasingly dominated viral online propaganda during US mass shootings – hyper-partisan trolls battling to blame the tragedy on opposing political ideologies.
Google, Facebook and Twitter have faced repeated accusations that they allow propaganda to spread on their sites and reach large audiences, and in the wake of embarrassing stories of promoting fake news and offensive content, the tech corporations have typically blamed their algorithms and offered vague pledges of improvement.

Stats on Mass shootings in USA if anyone is interested.
is it possible to embed?
https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoi ... EwfQ%3D%3D
Since 1982 there have been 760 fatalities involved in mass shootings in the USA. (including 59 dying in Las Vegas)
more worryingly, of these 760 people, 395 were killed by people that had known mental health issues.
Of the 395 that had mental health issues, 307 actually obtained there gun legally. How can this be? Surely even if for some reason you believe in the right to bear arms this should be taken away after being diagnosed?
615 of the 760 obtained weapons legally (106 illegally & 39 unknown)
Other 'interesting' stats
out of 91 cases - 32 have been by a person over 40
88 of the 91 cases have been committed by a male

Re: Mass shooting at music festival on the Las Vegas strip
You're right not to. Should have read 88 committed by a male (1 case by both male and female & 2 by female)
Only 55 of the 91 committed by a white person

Calm down. If he asks us to delete it, we will.Otis wrote:"I'm pretty sure the least is his worries is being name droppped on our forum right now. Have you seen any posts across social media about him today? Even the news pages."
That is not an appropriate standard by which to regard posting a false report with a picture of an innocent man as a mass murderer, accompanied by partisan screed, on this site. Macebelli, you should reevaluate your role as a moderator.

Re: Mass shooting at music festival on the Las Vegas strip
Conspiracy theories already going around that the shooter was set up and there were multiple shooters.
There was a video going around earlier of what looked like shots (you could see something that looks like muzzle flash) coming from the 4th floor. Can’t seem to find the video anymore.

This was on a few weeks ago. Coincidence?
