First time I have seen my Rachel out of the studio (excluding her book Drift tour)

dumb me to see every anchor out there brings it so home

there all out there Lawrence Rachel Chris well see if Brian is also there in 20 minutes

to put all your prime timers out there is really stunning moo

I felt the same way watching the news tonight, and there was something about the person reporting from Las Vegas that was just... I don't know how to describe it. So human, clearly in pain, keeping it together throughout the report. It was another part of cementing it as real in my mind. If that makes sense.
 
Prayers for the victims and families.
How do we stop the tears?
 
CARIIS, I think his wealth situation is a little odd, too. On CNN and other news media, they still report that he only worked for Lockheed Martin for a few years, many years ago. I don't see how that's enough to allow him to have enough income to invest in real estate and become a multi-millionaire. He obviously didn't come from a wealthy family. Maybe more will come out with time.

I'm also dubious about him having much good net income from gambling, especially playing video poker and slots. The house always wins in those kind of games. You can win big and lose big. It seems odd, but maybe not.

ETA: Washington Post says he also worked as an accountant. Wonder which job he retired from?

OT reading that might be interesting. I suddenly remembered this man. Found dead and he owned 1,200 guns. No one knew a thing.

Dead man with cache of 1,200 guns identified -- 'He was just a loner'
Anderson, 93, said she knew little about what Lash did after he left UCLA because his communication with the family was limited. He never told her what he did for a living or where his money came from, she said.

“He was just a loner, as far as we were concerned,” she said. “He just became weird because he changed all of a sudden.”

Anderson said Lash was sick and at one point sought holistic medicine for treatment. Police said he had late-stage cancer when he died.

Man found dead in car with 1,200 weapons at home thought he was a spy

Inside his own head, Jeffrey Alan Lash was a secret government operative under constant surveillance by the CIA, the FBI or both.

He spent lavishly to build up an arsenal of 1,200 firearms, six and half tons of ammunition and explosive-making materials, which he piled high in every room of the small condominium he shared with his fiancee in a well-heeled hillside enclave high above the Pacific Ocean in Los Angeles.

There was a thread here too, but I can't find it now.
 
-One possible scenario: could it be that she was breaking things off with him? And after having sent so much money to her and her family he decides to make a dramatic exit in response to her checking out of the relationship? That would also be a way of exposing her as an accomplice-to whatever she may have knowledge of? ALL speculations only, as I have not seen the latest evening news.
 
If you are going to state things as facts provide MSM links along with them. Don't wait for a request.

Yeah, something is off. How big were his real estate investments? Enough to bankroll his gambling?

More from the Washington Post article: According to his brother he would play at casinos for days at a time, was well known.

He recalled one time when the entire family took over the top floor of the Atlantis at the casino’s expense.

His brother was very particular about the games he played. “It had to be the right machine with double points, and there has to be a contest going on. He won a car one time,” Eric Paddock said.

“He’s known. He’s a top player. He’s the small end of the big fish.”

I cant come up with an event that impacted so many people in our nation

that is just numbing to me

Earthquakes, Katrina, 9/11 :(

And for every person in those figures there are friends and family who are worried, mourning, going to be affected by the long-term damage to people who were there :(

I don't have the words for it...tragic, appalling, I can't think of a word that conveys what it is.

Slots (in casinos I worked in) are set up on a server and each and every slot kept track of. You set the server to a % for the games and the more money a machine has in it the closer it is to a jackpot. So much a % in, pays out so much a % That is why most slot players stick to the same machines and if you ever go to a casino and see someone pumping money into a machine all day, not winning and finally giving up and leaving it worth playing that machine lol
 
MSNBC he had explosives in his house
 
<modsnip> I'm sure there is a lot that the police are saying just yet, and a lot they're still sifting through and investigating.
