Las Vegas Mass Shooting

Millionaire Dan Bilzerian, known for his outrageous non-stop partying life via his Instagram account with 23 million followers, was caught up in Las Vegas shooting – the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

Never one to be short of women or guns around him, Bilzerian regularly posts pictures of himself in the wilderness with his huge arsenal of firearms, along with his “big guns” biceps the size of thighs. In fact, he has so many guns that he once said, “My greatest fear is that someone will break in & I won’t be able to decide what gun to shoot them with.”

Bilzerian even trained to be a Navy SEAL earlier in his life, but never managed to make it through to the end. Despite all his training and experience with firearms, he was caught in the worst mass shooting in US history and the events that unfolded before him on Sunday night was all too real and too much for the Instagram King.

He was quick to flee from the killing grounds, but as if an innate talent, Dan turned a camera onto himself and posted a chilling video of him running away and shouting “holy f*** this girl just got shot in the f***ing head, so f***ing crazy.”. Trying to live up to his online bravado, he then followed up with another video saying, “Tried to go grab a gun, I’m f***ing headed back, f***ing so crazy,”. He also added later on that he had left the scene as there was nothing he could’ve done to help.

Bilzerian Slammed by War Hero Dakota Meyer

The Instagram videos posted by Dan were quickly shot down by a Medal of Honor war hero, Dakota Meyer. Meyer slammed the professional poker player, calling his actions “disgusting”. The war veteran continued with,

This is why children shouldn’t classify heroes by their followers or their photos. @danbilzerian this is what kills me about people like you. Always playing “operator dress up” and so so tough when the cameras are on. A woman just got shot in the head and you are running away filming that’s not what operators do. Please stop trying to be some your not. People are dying, you’re running away not helping them and pretending it’s worthy of a video is disgusting.
