Police stood down at Vegas? Wow.

Update 10.11.17, 17:15 :

I am reading a lot of armchair analysis of what happened in Vegas.  Fact is, I don't think anybody knows for sure.

But one thing that we can count on for sure, and that is the call for gun control.  However, this society has become so false that to trust the government now is total folly.

Here is something that you can take to the bank:  if society was high trust, people would voluntarily disarm, for the need for weapons would not be felt.  It is only when society become distrustful of each other that the need to arm becomes paramount.  Therefore, the call for government to disarm people is the improper course of action.  The proper thing to do is to restore confidence in our institutions so that people can trust the leadership to do the right thing.  That trust has been lost.

Compare this with the Kennedy assassination.  The Warren Report may have had some detractors, but my impression was that it was done with sufficient integrity for me to trust it.  However, if such were the case today, I would not trust it.  Government does not follow the rule of integrity anymore.

You know integrity has been lost when Hillary can break the law with impunity.  Charging Trump with an impeachable offense without evidence of wrongdoing does not help restore confidence.

Therefore, it would not surprise me if a great deal of misinformation is floating around out there about what happen in Vegas.  You can't trust these people anymore.

The Las Vegas thing became nothing more than a soapbox for gun control.  Obviously, I am opposed to this, but it turns out that not only is this something to be opposed to, but opposed to with a great deal of vigor.

This article, via Barnhardt, says that the police did absolutely nothing to stop the carnage in Vegas.  Therefore, if nobody is armed, nothing will be done to protect YOU.  That is right.  Those who shout the loudest for gun control are the very ones who will do NOTHING to protect you from deadly assault.

I am not 100% convinced of their refusal to do anything at all but I am convinced that something could have been done to stop all this from the get go.  If there is going to be a lot of people in an area, like a "gun-free" zone, then there must be some type of guarantee of security in place.

Gun control is not one of those things.

Incidentally, this looks a lot like Benghazi.  At Benghazi, an order came to stand down.  Did someone at Vegas police give an order to stand down and do nothing about the shooter?
