      Late at night Oct. 1, 2017 everything was going fine at a Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, Nevada until something unimaginable happened when 64 year old Stephen Paddock fired over 500 gun shots into the crowd from his Mandalay Bay hotel room. Stephen's actions left at least 59 people dead and over 500 people injured. This mass shooting is now one of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. This was an act of domestic terrorism, regardless of what the media chooses to call it.

       Just imagining the fear,sadness and distraught, the people there and the people who knew them must feel both enrages and saddens me. The way the media is in a way protecting his image by not calling him what he is a terrorist! This is a example of how race and color plays into how America operates, if his skin was about 4 shades darker he would have been called a terrorist with no hesitation.
