"How can one shooter with two guns kill 50 people and injure 50+? You would think they could overwhelm him."

My guess is that the people fled toward the exits causing a pile-up similar to what occurred at 'The Station' nightclub fire. At that point he probably just fired into the pile.

Why?

I am sick of dumbing down “terrorism” ever since 9/11.

Crimes are not automatically terrorism.

Terrorism requires a tie to an organizational effort, a conspiracy to promote some purpose, as well as mass destruction.

Even though mass murders are horrifying, they are not all “terrorism”. There must be a conspiratorial group effort.

The guy could be a Moslem and even do it because of Islam, but if he is basically acting on his own, it is about the same as any historical mass murders. Since we have this stupid thing called “hate crime” now, I could see them classifying it that way.

Yes, the wounded.

It is rare for the media to follow the story on the wounded. For many they will be permanently disabled.

For example it was casually reported that a policeman was shot in the head but saved by his helmet. Well....My guess is that his hearing and balance will have been permanently damaged and he may possibly never be able to this type of job again.

“Early reports had witnesses saying second shooter outside in car...that info went south quick”

Probably the Cops, possibly undercover.

MSNBC says a hate crime not Terrorism

They can try to spin it however they want. But if they air the photos of the perpetrator that I've seen here, the reason will be crystal clear to any thinking person.

I can't believe I'm typing this, but I'm counting on Donald Trump to say it like it is, no holds barred, to the nation. Islam did this, not guns, not anti-LGBT whatever.

We are becoming like france and Germany where they get hit and all they do is sit around and twiddle their thumbs and never counter attack. We need to hit the mosques and place fear into them not to mess With us or our kids! I hear nothing but crickets coming from Cher’s Twitter box!!

If it’s near me, it won’t be a ‘Gun Free Zone’. Things are different in the Heart Land.

It’s insane isn’t it? Some will be quick to blame easy access to guns but obviously when they needed someone with a gun, none were to be found. And the police waited 3 hours before going in?

50 dead 53 wounded is a very high killed to wounded ratio. This guy certainly had some training.

This proves Trump is right and makes Hillary and Obama look like lying traitors.
