The Hero of Mandalay Bay

TURNS OUT THIS IS FAKE NEWS. SORRY ABOUT THAT. I'M SUPRISED THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH CALLING THEMSELVES "CNN INTERNATIONAL" AND USING THE LOGO.
Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Compos has been arrested accused of being an accomplice and second shooter in the Las Vegas massacre that claimed the lives of 59 people and injured more than 500. [More]
You know what we need to do?

Ban bump stocks!

It's going to be interesitng finding out what made this guy tick-- assuming those controlling the information allow it.

Any bets on being a convert?

And his employer being toast after the lawsuits?

  5. Ironic karma, really-- I've been urging caution and warning against falling for fake news on this. I can't tell you how many tips I've passed on because they either didn't pass the smell test or were not validated anywhere else.

    I'd passed on this rumor, too, but thought one was finally corroborated. They had me at the logo, the use of "CNN" and the url.

    Hook line and sinker...

    Ton of frickin' bricks.

  6. One zinger embedded among dozens of legitimate stories that have shown up on other sites. Someone created that entire site, cnn-internationaledition.com, for the sole purpose of circulating one fake article.

    That's a new one on me.
