What happens in Las Vegas provides an abundance of dark-side inspiration for “die-o-rama” creations by Abigail Goldman, artist and former Sun crime reporter. (“She morphs sweet into psychotic, and buyers can’t get enough.”) Consider the potential:

• Pedestrians mowed down by hit-and-run drivers.

• Children struck by school buses.

• Jumpers leaping from freeway overpasses.

• Gun owners killing burglars, robbers and spouses.

• Reckless motorists driving cowboy-style.

• Local politicians being abused while in prison.

• Cowboys shooting bullets at trees.

• Gamblers attacking slot machines that don’t pay out.

• Union leaders fighting public officials.

The possibilities are endless in this “Battle Born,” libertarian encampment.
