The horror that occurred in Las Vegas last night continues to get worse. The official death toll just climbed to 58 individuals. Hundreds remain hospitalized.
In situations like these, the greatest heroes are the first responders who risk their lives to save others. And there were plenty last night, doing their best to rescue attendees of the Jason Aldean concert. The police, the medical personnel, and the ambulance drivers all deserve a huge amount of gratitude for acting fast and saving as many lives as possible. The same goes for all the doctors and nurses who are tending to those currently injured.
Thank God for the police officers and first responders in Las Vegas.

Heroism comes in all forms, of course. And one man showed an incredible amount of courage last night as bullets rained down upon him and the surrounding crowd. This courage may have been alcohol-fueled, but it was pure, unadulterated courage nonetheless.

An unidentified man, still brandishing his beer, did what not many people in his position would do when facing death defenseless: He gave the middle finger to shooter Stephen Paddock.

This gesture speaks for all the victims of the tragic shooter. While we don’t yet know what Paddock’s motive was for murdering scores of people, we do know one thing: He’s an evil coward. Anyone who shoots a crowd of defenseless people is the worst kind of human being. President Trump said as much this morning:

We continue to send prayers to the victims of last night’s shooting, which will go down as the deadliest in U.S. history. But even in the midst of tragedy, we should also recognize the courage of some who, while operating in deadly situations, showed immense bravery.
We salute the man who defied Paddock. His small gesture represents every American who stands against evil in all its forms.

Following orders from him lady friend who gave him attention. She could use him like putty since he was so mentally weak to start with. Hurry up and find her FBI
Some hero. How many lives did he save? Did he disarm or kill the gunman? Did he give first aid to the injured? The gunman could not even see this guy (let alone his middle finger) from 300 yards away. He is not hero, just another drunk whose courage comes from a bottle.
Maybe he was drunk, stupid, you name it. But he has the kind of nerve that Americans used to have, figuratively speaking. Do you remember when someone wouldnt *dream* of trying something like this? They knew what would happen to them if they did. And that’s even just if someone would think to do something like this to start with. I salute him, I give thanks for his safety. We dont need to do exactly what he did, but we do need to get our balls back.
just plain stupid
Big Balls, Drunk, Or Just Dumb !!!!! But he was one of them !!!
YOU GOT BIG BALLS
Drunk is more like it!
THIS FELLOW YET ANOTHER IDIOT, HIS ACTION AS PERVERSE AS THAT WHICH MOTIVATED
THE MASS MURDERER; HE AND HIS VULGAR GESTURE AS IMPOTENT AS THE FRIVOLOUS RESPONSE THAT IS EVEN NOW FORTHCOMING FROM THE MULTITUDE OF ‘IMPOTENT SHEEP’ THAT CONSTITUTE A NEAR MAJORITY OF OUR NATION’S IMPOTENT ALL VOCAL AND NO ACTION CITIZENRY.
Get a grip on reality, will ya?
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER DOES NOT “GRADE ON THE CURVE”!!!!!!!
THIS LAS VEGAS MASS MURDER YET AGAIN UNDERLINES THE REALITY THAT OUR LIFE IS SUBJECT TO CEASING IN AN INSTANT AND THE ETERNAL DOMICILE OF OUR SOUL IN EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL SOLELY DEPENDS ON OUR PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CREATOR, OUR TRIUNE GOD; ONLY OUR FREE WILL INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THE SOLELY DETERMINING FACTOR. IN AN INSTANT OUR LIFE CAN BE SNUFFED OUT AND THE STATUS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS FROZEN FOREVER.
BE PREPARED OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES . . . FOREVER.

Don’t know that I would call what this guy did with a beer in hand as courageous, more like pretty stupid!
