Today, I watched a documentary of the 2017 shooting in Las Vegas. Awful stuff.

What was the name of documentary?

They still have no motive for that one right?

For how much time has passed, there's still a lot that doesn't seem to be known about the guy and the event.

Anyone else seen Lightyear yet?

It's pretty crazy how little remains known about the biggest mass shooting in American history... but we'll always have Paddock's brother and the powerful press conferences he's given in the aftermath

It is bizarre - at the very least, it would be nice to know what drove this guy to do this to try and prevent it from happening in the future. To add to the collective understanding of what can make people on the edge snap.

On a happier note, I saw Top Gun on Thursday. Very entertaining.

Wow.
Stating the obvious here but doing something about the availability of weapons would probably help. Europe also has a bunch of crazy, violence prone people. They just luckily don't have easy access to weapons.


OT: I finally saw Madres paralelas (Parallel mothers) by Pedro Almodovar. Not one of his best but still very engaging. First movie of his that I remember that is explicitly political (deals partly with the issue of the civil war dead which in Spain is still a controversial subject).

He's such an atypical case: a rich old guy...


We watched the documentary yesterday and the brother appears somehow even worse than in those interviews.

Apropos of access to weapons, my gf (she's obsessed with this case) says he might've been a weapons dealer or some sort of middle man and that it's a possible explanation how he made his fortune. This isn't mentioned in the documentary but according to her there's a lot else that isn't.
