      BBC just revised to reverse their numbers. Over 20 dead and over 100 injured.

      Frankly from a single shooter, this seems more reasonable. But damn!

      OK I've read the article now - holy cow. A room full of weapons in a sniper like position. No wonder it was so bad.

      And hotels on the strip are big time secure. He must have been hard to get to.

          Yes, the police would need to coordinate with internal security, get through long, difficult lobbies, find the right elevators, get to the right floor, get access to the room, etc.

              Apparently that initial report was wrong. Now they're stating that Tom Petty is clinging to life.

                Amazing that everyone I have mentioned this to today who claims not to know Tom Petty, knows at least 4 or 5 of his songs I play them...

                    Rumour is that he is off life support and not expected to make it long. Apparenlty the PD released a false statement earlier.

                      I told my wife the same thing and she was like "who?". I had to send her a youtube video just to remind her.

                          2 of my siblings didn't know who he was either (but they are deaf so I will excuse it). My almost 20 year old knew who he was

                                        Interesting since SS# specifically are not an ID at all.

                                          Yet they're used as such all the time.... because people are dumb and ignore what said items actual use is supposed to be fore.

                                            No one uses them as a national ID. That's illegal. Private companies use them, but that's not at all the same thing.
