It's like they don't think it could happen to them or something. Let one gunshot go off in the projects...just one, and I guarantee everyone is hauling ass. Meanwhile there's hundreds of shots going off in these videos and some people are standing around. It's fucking crazy.

It's standard crowd dynamics that you see in almost every video like this around the world. Earthquakes fires shooters Etc.

It is crazy, but we are not in the panic mode having to decide the first small move -- hear some noise and be the first one to take the Sprint through a standing crowd?

Then once you're running, do the real time calculation of risk of running versus getting trampled well huddling in place versus getting shot in the back.

The crowds tend to pick up and lose momentum in unison. Everybody's looking for small social cues on what the right answer is and follow the person next to them usually.

All you can do is learn from these videos and attempt to play it out in your head a little bit so that if you ever have The Misfortune of Being in such a situation maybe that predetermined mental game and visualized muscle memory will get you to do the right thing more efficiently than the crowd could do.

Police scanners found a credit card in the shooters room with the name on it.

People have found that person's Facebook and it's a woman. I'm not posting the Facebook to avoid witch hunting when we don't know anything.

But Las Vegas news is now saying that somebody told the front row at the concert that they were all going to die before the concert began. It was a woman. Same? We will see. I'm real interested to find out the accuracy of these early reports.

I have trouble believing she's the culprit.

Absolutely chilling to hear those shots going off like that. Reports of dozens killed. What a crazy world we live in right now. My wife and daughter are scheduled to fly into Vegas for a week next Saturday to see her sister. Has me worried to death now.

Sounds like a bonnie and Clyde situation. With a male and female. How did the shooter get off 100 rounds.
