But the man with the beer is a victim. Don't victimize him twice.
I agree.
I see your point Jaybro, but like Werner said, you are over thinking it. The video doesn't show anyone he could help. And with that many people around him, getting out isn't that easy.
There are already plenty of stories of real heroes coming out. One story I read said women want to thank a man who stuck around and helped them over a fence, exposing himself many times when he could have escaped. Another story is about a man who lay on top of his wife. I believe it said he was shot twice. Another story is about a marine who stole a truck and used it to carry wounded people out to a hospital as the ambulances were hanging back in protected areas. he is credited with saving a bunch of lives. The stories will come out. Plenty of heroic action.
One thing I haven't heard yet is how long the shooting went on. One witness who was a performer who had just finished his act said it went on for 10 minutes. The cops said it took them 20 minutes to locate and breech the room. Thats a long time to be shooting.

it looks to me like a
pro-republican salute.
republicans are like a weak hitler,
thus the salute unto their cause
is like a limp-finger semi-erection.

Looks like some idiot there with a beer in his hand thinking he's cool by being a fool, standing in the open and taunting a man with a machine gun...
I see nothing heroic about it...
Sometime the act of defiance is described as heroic.... Whether fueled by testosterone and ethyl alcohol or not, the wisdom of such an act doesn't change the message.
Remember the kid in Tienanmen square facing off against the tank.

Wow .... lots of hateful finger pointing over something we know nothing about.
Maybe he was shielding an injured person from gunfire?
Maybe he figured if he got the gunman's attention he would stop fireing at another group of people and direct his fire at the dude flipping him off.
So super topo.... start painting a fake picture and roll all of your hate and frustrations into a post that points out your superiority, your advanced knowledge of the facts.
Heck..... one day that dude might just become the next giant statue in Washington DC.

This seems a logical point for the NRA folks to re-write this tragedy & explain that it could have been lessened, if everyone at the concert had been required to be armed.
Of course, gun-supporters would quibble that pistols would not have dealt with the 400 yards away shooter. Perhaps, the ideal NRA solution would be to require attendees at public events to carry loaded pistols, assault rifles, & hunting rifles with scopes?
I suspect the gun-lobby is already working the "best U.S. Congress money can buy" on a similar theme.

Over the last 24 hrs I have gone through lots of emotions. Fear, Anger, Heartache, Compassion and many others. I truely dont understand why a person would want to take the life of another. Something has changed in this country and in this world lately that is scary to see. This world is becoming the kind of place i am afraid to raise my children in. At the end of the day we arent Democrats or Republicans, Whites or Blacks, Men or Women. We are all humans and we are all Americans and its time to start acting like it and stand together as ONE! That is the only way we will ever get this Country to be better than it has ever been, but we have a long way to go and we have to start now. My heart aches for the Victims and their families of this Senseless act. I am so sorry for the hurt and pain everyone is feeling right now and there are no words i can say to to take that pain away. Just know u all are in my heart and my prayers as we all go through this together. Time to come together and stop the hate! #stopthehate #prayforlasvegas

It is nice that Jason Aldean wrote that, but seriously, bemoaning the fact that one human can kill another is a little naive.
When is someone going to talk about how gambling destroys lives? It is happening everyday across the country. Most failed gamblers do not resort to mass carnage, but lives are nonetheless wrecked. It is a disease but too many people make too much money off it. I suspect gambling is going to play a big role in this tragedy.

Nut! nails it!
Nice!
And kettle, and by this I mean Werner, you’re reading way more into my statements than I, put there. Dude’s just not a hero, get it?
Edit: cosmic, the idea of propoganda is to post up salacious bullsh#t, before it is discredited, not after! Get with it brah!

as usual, paying attention to the wrong things
very unlikely any single shooter could cause that much damage, even a war-trained military sniper or machine gunner
especially at 400 yards ... yes the crowd was thick, but there still had to be a lot of ammo expended without hitting anything at that rate of fire
count the recorded bursts, that much ammo would require a fork lift to deliver and require way more than a single shooter to use it ... the room would be knee deep in expended cartridges
multiple witnesses observed multiple shooters, backed up by videos of muzzle flashes from different locations
don't just unleash your emotions, listen to the videos folks ... shooting bursts last too long for assault rifle magazines ... you are hearing multiple belt-fed heavy machine guns
the public is being played once again
this was a well planned coordinated military operation, not just another local patsy who lost his marbles
it's time to wake up and do your homework, folks
