At least one person was killed and four others wounded in a shooting at a homeless encampment in Las Vegas on Friday, police said.
The incident occurred in the area of Charleston Boulevard and U.S. 95 around 5:30 p.m. local time. Officers responded to a homeless encampment, where witnesses directed them to multiple victims, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said at a press briefing Friday night.
I demand an immediate investigation into why these homeless people were not armed and able to defend themselves. We should be handing out firearms at the soup kitchens to avoid these kinds of tragedies.
Are you being ironic? I actually can’t tell on Lemmy.
Ironic username.
Absolute sarcasm
Can you imagine how much Republicans would tantrum if homeless people were getting armed? And at this point, because of their own folly, there would be basically nothing they could do about it.
We should be handing out firearms at the soup kitchens
are you saying we should… “Arm the homeless”?
We can’t afford not to!

From the article: Officers planned to return to the crime scene and canvas the area for surveillance footage on Saturday, Johansson said.
It is Unusual to leave a shooter and crime scene until the next day isn’t it?
Not when homeless people are involved. What’s unusual is them coming back at all.
Presumably all the businesses with security cameras were closed.
