The Mandalay Bay Shootings in Las Vegas was a horrible massacre killing about 59 innocent lives and injuring around 500 people that were attending the music festival across from the Mandalay Bay.

Finally, the last one being 'why were there two guns shooting at once during the massacre, when there was only one shooter? ' Was there more than one shooter? All this will all be explained further on in this essay. …show more content…
A victim in the crowd said that there was a woman that decided to push her way to the front of the concert and tell other people that they were "all going to die tonight". No one has identified the woman and doesn’t know why she would tell people that they were going to die tonight. This made other people suspicious because exactly 45 minutes later a shooter sets fire leaving many deaths and injuries. I think this woman had something to do with the Las Vegas shooting because she told everyone that they were all going to die and then exactly 45 minutes after she had spoken about dying tonight, the shooter takes

The mass shooting in Vegas makes me feel empathetic towards the families of the victims. The fear and panic felt is not exclusive to concert-goers, but is shared by their loved ones at home.

After watching this documentary on the actions that took place in 2002, it immediately brought me back to the pain and guilt America felt as a whole. The sociological conflict that is strongly shown here is conflict. It was the second “big thing” to happen to us after 9/11. It is very safe to say, we were scared.

Unfortunately, the name Stephen Paddock should be well-known. Paddock was the perpetrator in the Las Vegas Shooting that occurred this October, becoming the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States.

Martin Luther King Jr. has been an lexicon for many with his convincing words and actions. He has been a enormous inspiration on American society, and that is evidently noticeable to this day. His exertions for equal rights have not entirely gone to waste as currently, our society as whole does not entirely ghettoize colored people from white people.

Columbine. When I first heard the word, I didn’t think that much of it because I had no idea what it meant or how it affected so many people.
