Only in America would people confuse rocks being thrown against a window as gunfire. The fear has been established, and everyone is losing their god damn mind.

Saturday night, July 16, 2022, Vegas appeared to become another scene of an “active shooter.” In reality, it was a fear-based society we have been conditioned to believe, and it turned into complete mayhem.

The Setting

It’s your typical Saturday night in Vegas, except this isn’t your typical night. The World Series of Poker is happening at Paris Hotel and Casino, so there are more people in town than usual. Sometime during the night, the staff were advised of an active shooter at MGM and to clear the area. What better way to induce incredible panic than to announce something that was never confirmed.

Poker star Daniel Negreanu tweeted a picture of his palm, bloodied up, and later said that he sustained it because he was “trampled preflop” as the frightened room rushed to the exits-New York Post.

Better Safe Than…
