BREAKING: Las Vegas Active Shooter

[Martin Hash]

At least one person wants to hear my heroic story, so here it is.

Hey, long time no hear, LVH2. That's a great story. Now I know somebody who's done something.

[Speaker to Animals]

People driving away from the strip were 400x more courteous than normal. No gridlock at all!

Well, that confirms my suspicion that 90% of traffic congestion comes from fucking cunt drivers deliberately driving slowly in the left lane, holding up traffic in other ways, etc. As soon as somebody is shooting at the cunts, suddenly traffic flows smoothly.

At least one person wants to hear my heroic story, so here it is.

I was playing poker at Caesars. Nobody knew about the shooting at Mandalay yet. However, word must have gotten out and the telephone game took hold.

So I'm sitting there, and I see some people running by. Then I hear people screaming "shooter shooter." And everyone in the poker room hits the deck. Many more people running away now.

I decided pretty quickly that the smart move was to bolt rather than hide. Stuck my head up like a gopher. Didn't see anything and I jumped over the little wall around the room and sprinted off. Furniture was being overturned (or something) to make banging noises. It didn't sound like guns to me but people screamed more and I thought "could be..." I figured there was a chance it was a false alarm. I thought it fairly obvious to bet on "this is real" and assume the worst.

So off I ran. I was very clear headed. Not very nervous or anything. I saw a lot of people pausing and looking back before running again, or stopping and starting, which I thought was dumb to the point of being weird.

Adrenaline might be over rated, at least in my case. I was pretty tired after sprinting through the casino. I decided to take the stairs rather than the elevator, up 8 levels to my car. I park on the top floor to get a little exercise. Didn't help that I was doing a 24 hour fast. I was just utterly gassed when I got to the top.

The good folks at CP recently decided to start charging for parking. Evidently, they never thought, "what happens if there's an emergency?" as many people were struggling to leave, having not stopped to pay for parking at the machine in the lobby.

So, I got on the road and already police where everywhere. They had most of the routes out shut down and were funneling us all in one direction. I got a machine gun pulled on me for trying to cut through the Luxor. From my perspective, the police and medics were all over the scene extremely quickly and in an organized fashion.

At this point I was listening to the radio and heard about MB. Now, I was a lot more emotional because 1) That news in itself was terrible. 2) I thought there might have been a real shooter and CP where I have many friendly acquaintances. After a while, it became clear that it was just a false alarm.

No local radio station had altered coverage to give full updates or instructions. I was just listening to national coverage on Coast to Coast, Fox. NPR was piping in the BBC. This was all for over an hour after the attack. I thought this was a failure.

I went back a couple days later to claim my money. They had a book of cowards who had fled and how much they'd left behind.

Today, driving for Uber, I took a woman from Maryland to the hospital. Her sister was in the hospital from the shooting still. She had bought her dad some edibles at one of the new dispensaries. She said they were going to move her sister back home pretty soon.

Thanks for that. I always value local first hand accounts.
Read LTC Grossmans, On Combat (if you haven't)and you he will describe the physiological effects a person goes through in a situation like that.

It took about an hour to get out. So there was a ton of traffic but it did flow smoothly. Nobody blocking intersections etc.

Surprise, surprise. As soon as somebody is shooting at them, traffic moves smoothly with nobody slowboating it in the left lane or intentionally riding the brakes while looking the rear-view mirror to enjoy the frustration they inflict on other drivers.

I think we have a motive, guys.

This has Department of Transportation all over it.

[Fife]

We obviously need a new cabinet-level department.

Hair God, stroke the Department of Evacuation and Instant Safety our way. Use your magnificent pen for good.

[Speaker to Animals]

Terrance Popp is saying those were two shooters. That guy has been in every conflict since Panama. No stranger to being shot at. At all.
