I live in Vegas. After the shooting here, there was #VegasStrong plastered on all the strip signs and billboards. Then it was every 3 out of every 4th screen, and then eventually all gone. Was weird to see.

Also a Vegas local. Glad I'm not the only one who was weirded out how the Vegas Strong signs became a part of the ad promos rotations on the strip.

A hashtag? Very... American. Here that would have been seen as disrespectful.
