Send the federal government into Chicago to stop the violence that makes Mexico look like child's play. The street in front of Mandalay Bay is safe to walk on 99.9% of the year, you can't say that about those gang infested neighborhoods, Black people deserve to live a decent life too.
I do not believe that money is the reason for the overwhelming response, but I can respect your opinion about that.
I believe that the unpredictability and the scale of simultaneous loss of life associated with mass murders, like the one in Vegas, are the major reasons for the overwhelming response. I do not believe the response would be much different if 58 people had been killed attending a Bulls game in Chicago, or a monster truck show at Oracle in Oakland. Why do you?
I agree with you that black people deserve a decent life too -- I think that goes without saying to all but the most hateful bigots. I'm glad to hear you say it and hope to see you become an active participant in making a difference. Black lives matter, no argument here.
