be a little sailfish Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 You can read what's known so far here. Britney comes back to Vegas in 10 days... expect heightened security -- if she decides to keep her shows going. Mandalay Bay isn't too far from Planet Hollywood. Hope everyone's OK out there. What are your guys' thoughts? Link to comment

redacted statement Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The fact that this is "another" shooting shows how awful the current world we live in is. Aliens should come and put us out of our misery... Link to comment
