Hello Alexander,

 LL>> 59 dead, 527 hurt.
 LL>> Las Vegas, Nevada.
 LL>> We love our guns.

 ak> It is strange that it didn't happen earlier.

Oh, this is a regular occurrence here.  Don't know what
folks in Russia do for sport, but shoot `em ups is our regular
pastime.

                     the message) near the University
                     of California, Santa Barbara.

September 16, 2013    Aaron Alexis, a civilian
12 dead               contractor, attacked Washington

                     was some sort of a clown, and was
                     sentenced to life in prison without
                     parole.

but not the facts)

 ak> It is so easy to shoot a crowd of people.

And with guns being so accessible, for so many ...

 ak> You need not to steal cars and explosives.

The fellow in Las Vegas also had lots of explosives.

 ak> All you need you can legally buy in an  American shop.

Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas shooter, was age 64.
His father was a master criminal, having been on the
FBI's 10 Most Wanted List, as well as a certified
psychotic.

Even though the shooter was a successful businessman,
and known to have bought a ton of guns and related items,
everybody was shocked that he could have done such a
horrible thing.

Was he radicalised?  And if so, when and by whom?
How long does it take for somebody to become radicalized?
A few hours?  Days?  Weeks?  Months?  Many questions, of
which there seem to be no answers.
