That's the problem. It's a political issue because there's little support for mental health care and even less for gun control (not elimination) from the present administration. I loathe how it's somehow viewed as good to not politicize something that is, at its core, very much political. It's another way of saying: "we don't want to deal with this."
Just to be clear, I wasn’t saying we shouldn’t politicize this as a way of addressing the very real and very important issue of easy access to guns in America, only that the first hours after a tragedy isn’t the best time for that debate. At least wait 24 hours or something; that only seems decent, in my opinion.
LVMPD reiterates that there is no apparent connection to international terrorism with respect to the ISIS statement
Honestly, I’m quite curious to see what his motivations were because there’s no strong indication at this point. I mean, targeting a country music concert could, arguably, be a way of attacking a conservative demographic, but there’s no evidence to substantiate that speculation. Regardless of the motivation though, this was a sad act of domestic terrorism.
