I just feel sick... Thoughts and prayers with everyone affected by the massacre in Las Vegas. Our hearts are with you.

I’m getting into Vegas tonight. All the excitement is gone, now I just feel sadness and pain. Absolutely terrible

I didn’t even know what happened at first. I woke up to a bunch of texts from friends that are at a bachelor party there saying “we’re all good” in some form or another. Which I guess is better than hearing about the incident first. Still totally fucked.

You and me both, man. I’m almost frozen here at work.

My wife woke me up with the news. Very hard to get myself out of bed and go to work somewhat as normal.

Shit. Glad your friends are okay. Can’t imagine being there last night.

I saw it on the news tv when I walked into work. I usually have NPR on for the drive in, but decided not to this morning. Ugh.

Damn. Way too close close for comfort.

As brutal as this world can be, life must go on. We can’t just all stay locked up in our homes out of fear or sadness. Hope you can find a way to help out in whatever small way (donate blood), and then you can find a way to still get some enjoyment out of your time there (hard to even think about now, I’m sure).

Had to be like getting hit by a brick when you walked in... I was actually kind of pissed at NPR this morning. They mentioned the shooting during the little news segments, but otherwise were pretty much going with their normal programming... Seemed callous in light of what happened. I switched to CNN on satellite radio.

Woah...Just did a quick sweep of Google. 50 dead 450 injured. I’m frozen...My heart shatters for all the lives that will be impacted by this (thousands).

What the hell is wrong with this world?!?!?? :(

Took me a minute of staring at the screen to comprehend what had happened. Reminded me of how I reacted to 9/11. I just can’t get a grasp on it.

Sorry to be the one to bring your attention to it...

I have no answer for your question. It’s broken. It’s always been broken...

I’m generally an optimist, but it’s hard to see the light on a morning like this.

A few of my colleagues had recently arrived there - Not only am I praying for their safety, I’m also grieving that this tragedy had to happen.

Hope you hear from all of them that they’re safe. Can’t imagine being there today.

I just can’t comprehend how a person can have this much hatred and brutality inside them...

I think the scary thing right now is the motivation is still unclear.

9/11, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Pulse, many others here in the U.S. and elsewhere, and now Las Vegas.

It doesn’t get any easier to accept that that people can be this senselessly brutal to each other...

Yeah, and it’s possible we’ll never know.

No. Part of me hopes it never gets easier.

Sadly, then I read the news and see how callous our “leaders” can be about this crap. Getting to be time to establish Oppo Island.

Of course it’s IS... But sometimes make me wonder how many of these claims are legit, they claim so many.

Seems very unlikely at this point, but anything’s possible, I guess.

I agree.

OPPO Island. Yes, let’s do that.

They are just going to claim any and every mass shooting/killing/chaos regardless if they had any involvement

That’s what I thought. They just want you to be scared to advance their so-called agenda.

My in-laws were in a nearby casino, heard shots, and saw victims... Luckily, they weren’t outside or ever in direct danger. One of my coworkers was at the event when it happened (she is safe), too.

It’s scary/crazy. My sympathy to those that are suffering from this.

Better be a big island then. Or perhaps we can just conquer and claim the Isle of Man for OPPO?

Managed to get in touch with all three. Two of them were hours out of the city before the shooting began while the third had to be several buildings away. They’re fine but completely shell-shocked from the incident.
