Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Nobody tried to take al-Waleed out, but he was one of the princes who were rounded up during the Saudi Purge. There is definitely a connection between that and the LV shooting. Al-Waleed wanted to take out Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS), and apparently the shootings were a distraction. Some people were being shot in parking lots behind the casinos even, but the media didn't cover any of that.
My good friend Jim lost his daughter in law, the daughter in law and my friends son were there . Many people from San Diego were , I heard lots of story’s from people who were friends with the victims or the attendees who weren’t harmed .
Then there was that subsequent shooting at some cowboy dance bar (in California, I believe) in which there were crisis actors claiming to have survived both the Route 91 shooting and now that new shooting. The supposed video of the shooting that CNN purported to be genuine was just a jerky, low res video taken in a completely empty bar and some loud shots can be heard. That is what they claimed was so "disturbing." Fake. Then again, they had crisis actors in LV too. "Oh, I got shot in the neck, but I'm better now all the sudden." This led to people suspecting that the shooting was staged, but I think the main reason was that the propaganda media needed to control the narrative and did not want to risk the chance of an actual witness stating that there were multiple shooters, which is exactly what happened at the very beginning. There was also the woman interviewed who said that there was a Hispanic woman telling everyone that they were going to die before the incident occurred. THAT was memory-holed immediately.
