How many mass murderers that identify as "White" will it take before they're labeled terrorist? If White Supremacy has something to do with it, White Terrorism will never face the music. Even through the families of some of its victims, because the ability to indulge in evil until it can no longer be ignored by law enforcement, is highly desired.
I mean ignored in every sense of the word, because some of these people have given warning sign after warning sign of what's to come, and they've been given slaps on the wrist until things like the terrorist attack in Las Vegas. Many of you know that all it would take is a brotha or sista one time to have their ass thrown under the jail if they make it there, but many Black people have been locked up for little or nothing a lot longer than these ticking White time-bombs. (This isn't to be confused with all White people by the way.) This Vegas attack isn't being considered a terror attack by the large media outlets, but that's exactly what it is. It was reported that Stephen Paddock killed nearly 60 people. Was someone else involved? I have the slightest idea but you never know without surveillance, but nevertheless it was a terrorist attack. If he were from the middle east or gave any indications of being Muslim, forget about it, but he needs certain requirements in this Nation. He can't just commit an act of terror and be labeled what he is in the USA, because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Nearly 60 people losing their lives because a terrorist had access to the type of weapons that can make that happen, and it's horrible, but I can't count this as the biggest mass murder in the U.S. I'm pretty sure this isn't the highest death toll in American history, even if that's the story sold, I can't buy it. It might be when it comes to White people being killed in one mass killing incident but when it comes to Black people, I know this Nation. It's drenched with the blood of Sistas and Brothas ranging from babies ripped out of the womb up to grandparents losing their lives via White Terrorists.
Las Vegas isn't some one and done situation when it comes to White Terrorism, it was only a matter of time before it happened again and you can only hope that you and the people you love aren't around in the event that a ticking White time-bomb goes off in the future. Non-Black people can walk around with visible firearms without law enforcement showing up for the most part. Was Stephen Paddock walking around with his openly before he began his attack?
People have access to bomb guides online and the people uploading the guides aren't getting in trouble from what I know. There are some crazy ass pill popping non-Black people that have access to guns a lot easier than a Black person that has never even received a parking ticket, because some gun shops won't sell guns to Black people. Go figure. The bias some people have actually gets them killed, and they're welcome to stick with it as long as the people who aren't cool with that are left unscathed, but that's seldom the case just like the woman killed in Charlottesville.
Christy Sheats would probably be on her milk crate defending guns right now if she hadn't shot and killed her daughters to hurt her husband, resulting in the cops killing her. I bring her up, because some people complain about their rights being taken away from them and not being able to protect their family. In the end, her family actually needed all the protection they could get. It wasn't protection from "The Blacks" as Trump call us or from the "Super Predators" as Hillary called us, it was from her.
Having a gun isn't something I disapprove of, because there are people out there with a desire to do wrong in some of the worse ways possible, like Stephen Paddock. The problem is the type of guns. Civilians walking the streets like they're strapped for immediate deployment to a warzone is not okay. Those weapons can do a lot of damage to a terroristic degree, but they're still finding a place in the homes and arms of some Americans.
FYI: Stephen Paddock's father was on the FBI's most wanted list for those of you who might be interested in what his family tree may consist of regarding criminals.
By the way, Jonathan Smith saved 30 people before getting shot himself, but the cop that provided him assistance after being shot has leap frogged him via people who want Jon's selfless act overshadowed. Lyndsay Winkley from The San Diego Union-Tribune wasted no time briefly mentioning Jon before adding a "but" soon after, so that she could talk about the cop in detail.

Jonathan was downplayed on CNN also. They didn't have the people he saved to call in and focus on him only. They had the cop to call in so that Jon could thank him. The cop doesn't matter overall as far as who he is by name in the long run, but what it does is helps sell the "Good Cop" narrative for all cops. This situation will probably be one of those references used to try and argue down police brutality, even though it's still police brutality.
Jonathan could've left those people where they were to possibly meet an early death, and I wouldn't have blamed him because he had himself to think about, but he didn't and I commend him for that. Getting praise isn't the focus of what I'm saying, but to downplay the Black Hero is another one of those things I've come to expect in America, even if I don't accept it and neither should you. I'm not going to invest a lot of time into speaking about Jonathan either, because of him also downplaying himself. I won't dump on him for playing into their hand, but perhaps if we had more prominent Black-Owned (coon-free) news sources we'd get something different. Don't forget, call Stephen Paddock what he really is.
Be careful out there, because you never know. I avoid large crowds because of people who think like Stephen.
