For Jason, the history lover, from Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo, or one of his commenters:
“The number of deaths in Las Vegas is greater than many of the most famous battles of the Revolutionary War.
Lexington & Concord, 1775: 49 Americans killed.
Princeton, 1777: 25-44 Americans killed.
Saratoga, 1777: 90 Americans killed.
Yorktown, 1781: 28 Americans killed.
The Second Battle of Fallujah (November-December 2004), viewed by many as the bloodiest battle of the Iraq War. According to Wikipedia 95 Americans died over 6 weeks; 54 between November 7th and 16th.
The current death toll out of Las Vegas is 58.”
Yeah, but the rubes have had their bigotry validated and that is a big gain in their eyes
