Yes.
In Las Vegas.
Why?
Because.
Fuck.
Him!
How dare he do that to our town.
How dare he attack people who live here, who visited here, and people who just wanted to have a fun evening out.
How dare he use our town and then abuse it in the worst way.
I went to Life is Beautiful, a huge outdoor festival in Downtown Las Vegas about 10 months after the shooting. There was a tangible police presence during the festival. Police on every rooftop. Police on patrol, police in golf carts.
And guess what?
Everyone had a great, safe time.
So fuck him. We will not let him damage our town and the people who visit to have good time.
