Vegas Massacre, Gun Stocks, Pat Robertson, The Obamas, Spain, Violet Chachki, Jim Parsons, Jared Leto: HOT LINKS
LAS VEGAS MASSACRE. Concertgoer gives horrific eye-witness account of the domestic terror attack (above).
GUN STOCKS RALLY. Gun stocks rally after Vegas massacre: “Historically, gun stocks have experienced a bump after a mass shooting for reasons both political and emotional. Gun sales typically rise over concerns that a deadly event could lead to more stringent gun-control legislation. An additional driver of sales, and by extension shares, is the rush by some consumers to purchase guns to defend against future attacks.”
ELIZABETH WARREN. Thoughts and prayers are not enough: “Tragedies like Las Vegas have happened too many times. We need to have the conversation about how to stop gun violence. We need it NOW.”
Thoughts & prayers are NOT enough. Not when more moms & dads will bury kids this week, & more sons & daughters will grow up without parents.

HILLARY CLINTON. “Las Vegas, we are grieving with you…”
Las Vegas, we are grieving with you—the victims, those who lost loved ones, the responders, & all affected by this cold-blooded massacre.

The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 2, 2017
Our grief isn’t enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.

PIERS MORGAN. Good Morning Britain host slammed for asking Mariah Carey about Vegas attack.
DAVID DUKE. Hollywood Jews caused Vegas terror attack.
Make no mistake – Guns didn’t cause the LV HORROR. It is the sick, bloodlust, twisted, sadistic ZioWood Culture that Replaced OUR VALUES !

PAT ROBERTSON. Disrespect for Trump, National Anthem, and God to blame for Vegas massacre:
BANGKOK. These are the most delicious cream-filled waffles ever made.
MANHATTAN’S NEWEST RESIDENTS? Barack and Michelle Obama eyeing apartment on upper east side. “The Obamas have been looking at 10 Gracie Square on the Upper East Side, situated between East End Avenue and East River Drive and near the mayor’s residence, Gracie Mansion, according to sources who have seen the couple arriving at the building for viewings.
JIM PARSONS. TV’s highest paid actor for the third year in a row. “Forbes released its list of the highest-paid TV actors, with the CBS comedy owning four out of the top five spots, leading with Jim Parsons ($27.5 million), Johnny Galecki ($26.5 million), Simon Helberg ($26 million) and Kenal Nayyar ($25 million).
SPAIN. State violence follows Catalan referendum. “This conflagration happens against a backdrop of old divisions — as well as new ones, fomented by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who continues to sow chaos in western democracies whenever and however he can, and his flunky Julian Assange.”
DON LEMON. The CNN anchor hit the town with his boyfriend after SNL.

ORANGE COUNTY. Teacher distributes semen-filled flutes to students. “The California Department of Justice and the United States Postal Service are investigating a yet unnamed music instructor for giving flutes that might contain bodily fluids to several school districts in Southern California, including the Fountain Valley, Capistrano, and Newport Mesa agencies, the Orange County Register reported Friday.
JARED LETO. I’ll never watch Dallas Buyer’s Club: “It was on page a beautiful role and I saw the opportunity that was there. It moved me to tears when I read the script and I really fell in love with the character. I’ve actually never seen the movie,” he added. “It was such a deep and emotional experience and the response was so overwhelmingly positive, I just don’t have any business watching it. I don’t need to look at it like we all would do, knit pick or find some fault or criticism. To let it be what it is, it works for people great, if it didn’t that’s fine.”
VIOLET CHACHKI. RuPaul Drag Race alum was dragged out of Paris gay club for being too feminine: “The club, Le Dépôt operates as both a gay club upstairs, and a sex club downstairs. Chachki went for a Fashion Week party to see her friends who were performing and DJing, but when she attempted to head downstairs to the dark rooms she was dragged out of the venue.”

John Oliver Celebrates Catching Donald Trump in a Lie: WATCH
On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver took a look at Trump’s “racist” response to the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico and his attacks on San Juan mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz and his accusations that Puerto Ricans Want everything done for them.”
Said Oliver:
“Really? Really? The primary obstacle to hurricane relief has been Puerto Rican laziness? … Trump is basically saying, ‘When hurricanes hit our people, they’re not hitting our best. They’re killing poors. They’re killing lazies. And some, I assume, have said nice things about me.’”
Oliver also took a look at the failure of the GOP’s Graham-Cassidy Healthcare bill and Trump’s repeated lie that a senator is in the hospital.
Oliver was so thrilled to catch Trump in a lie that he rolled out a mega celebration, quickly curtailed when he realized that this really doesn’t change anything.

#LimitlessAfricans: Aru, Queer Congolese (Shot in Brussels, Belgium)
“My name is Aurélie , But I also go by Aru. I am Congolese, Bundundu.
I prefer to go by the pronouns of they/them. Though, dialogue around gender and identity have been tiring to navigate.
I am comfortable with identifying as queer/ or lesbian.”
– Aru (they/them)
I’m super excited to starting sharing the #LimitlessAfricans stories that I’ve been working on in Europe over the past few weeks. Say hi to Aru, the first person I shot here at the beginning of September, whose story and photos I will be sharing over the course of this week. Lots more to come!
