Every jihad terrorist attack is met with claims of mental illness. Considering how frequently US and European government officials, law enforcement and media elites call jihad “mental illness,” perhaps he was a convert after all.
How could they know that? And how do they know he didn’t convert?
Historically, ISIS has not taken credit for attacks that were not theirs.

At least 58 people were killed and more than 515 injured at the Route 91 country music event near the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. Las Vegas Police Department confirmed that two off-duty police officers were among those killed. At least two on-duty officers were also injured. One was in a stable condition after surgery and another sustained minor injuries. It is the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, with the death toll surpassing the 49 killed at a nightclub in Orlando in June 2016.
US Officials: No evidence Las Vegas shooter tied to militant group
By Reuters, October 2, 2017:
President Donald Trump called the event an “act of pure evil.”
WASHINGTON, Oct 2 (Reuters) – Two senior US officials said on Monday that there was no evidence that the shooter who killed at least 50 people in Las Vegas was tied to any international militant group.
Islamic State issued a statement through its news agency Amaq claiming responsibility for the shooting, saying that the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.
But one of the two US officials discounted Islamic State’s claim of responsibility and said there was reason to believe that the shooter, whom police identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, had a history of psychological problems.

Yes, it is odd how fast authorities clean social media of attackers accounts after an attack.

Sort of like that “military” work place violence episode. Because he was white and had lots of money, they say it was a “mental” problem. What keeps the “white man with money” from becoming a mudslime? nothing.

True americans must trust the FBI and not ISIS. Islam is peace, otherwise Trump wouldn’t keep receiving THOUSANDS of muslim refugees to USA. Don’t make stupid conclusions, be quiet and everything will be ok

Absolutely, it’s like denying Pearl Harbour and putting it down to a bungled Japanese military exercise.
ISIS etc. have actually declared war a long while back and this is the way they do it.
An afternoon on the internet confirms this easily.
What is DT thinking? People say he must be being spiked but his remarks don’t confirm that.
He is perfectly coherent but looking in the wrong direction.
He should be onto this by now and closing mosques etc.
Very worrying even without the LV tragedy.
We wait, with fingers crossed and expectant hearts. 🙂

Whether insane or not, anyone who converts to islam is deluded. As it is written: “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

Having a cause gives one a justification for their otherwise insane acts. Islam sometimes acts like a magnet to suck in the violent lunatics. It has nothing to do with their religious faith or lack thereof. But it does have to do with islam, and always has.
Violent Nazism and violent Communism acted the same in that respect. They are nut magnets.

With both Melbourne Antifa & Isis now claiming the LV attack –it is most possibly Isis as Baghdadi made a statement last week; and there were also attacks in Paris & Canada.

The Fed’s count on the public being ignorant. It is not logical to know little about the shooter, while the same time 100% know he had nothing to do with the Islamic State.

Seems like a Left Liberal Muslim convert with ‘mental issues’ and a hatred of C+W music.

In comparison with Bataclan, MS-13 or the Mex cartels the victims were lucky but that’s a horrific benchmark.
MSM seem happy to chat about timelines and gun control – motivation is a sticky topic.
He’s white, male and older – so a classic NRA labelling opportunity.
That’s all we need to know….. sarc
It fits with the anti MAGA theme and they’re not budging.

No, I’m naive enough to think that anything vital will remain available.
I’m not a twitterer so it’s all unknown.
One never knows which article is going to disappear either so you’d have to save everything.
Pam Geller is pretty reliable but takes a little longer.
There’s a lot of stuff floating around.
Some are saying it’s a hoax like Sandy Hook…….

My fear also is that U.S. authorities will refuse to believe that the Las Vegas attack was an act of islamic terrorism — even with all the evidence there. We can also go way back to the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995, when 168 were killed, including a handicapped musician playing on the piano. Two were responsible: Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Were they merely homegrown terrorists, or affiliated with islam? My suspicion is the latter.

They don’t have to be “affiliated” with islam, just influenced. To a large extent, outside their hot conflict zone, daesh isn’t so much a conspiracy as a movement. Al Q were the same as well as groups like BLM. You don’t have to wait for some secret orders. You just put on their mantle of “respectability” and go out and terrorize. This is more dangerous than a conspiracy, as there is no organization to roll up. There are no secret messages to intercept. There is just an idea.

You have an excellent point. Was thinking about that just before you replied. I personally believe that the same devil that roams as a roaring lion promotes terrorism and chaos in any form — whether through islam, BLM, etc. Somehow, islam inspires people to do what Stephen Paddock did, whether directly or indirectly. Either way, ISIS or Al Q will take credit.

Since Mumbai proved that mass automatic weapon attacks on crowds was the most ‘successful’ of bloody Jihad attacks, I have dreaded this. It appears that in this case we have a home grown evil psychopath but regardless – Jihadis will learn a LOT of lessons from this monster on inflicting mass casualties with personal weapons. It is just the kind of evil they salivate over.

Gee F-I-B, I can say the same thing about the 1990’s bombing of the WTC and the follow-up attack in 2001 — both attacks had nothing to do with the Islamic State.
Muslums don’t NEED to be affiliated with an islamic terrorist outfit to kill the kafir al najjis — they’ve been doing so for a THOUSAND years.

This dreadful and tragic event is just what the Democrats and all haters of Trump need to smear those who voted for change, all that’s lacking for them is a MAGA hat. The assassin was a middle aged white male with an automatic weapon.
Bingo.
I doubt at this stage if any link to Islamic terrorism will be established, but time will out it if there was.
This a deadly blow against all who care to arrest American decline and keep their identity in the face of the lefts onslaught. Very sad times indeed.

I wonder if this bastard was armed/equipped by muslum terrorist outfits? Baader-Meinhof was a Communist terrorist group who collaborated w/the f’ing muslums to carry out the Entebbe hijacking of an El Al plane. They even assisted the f’ing muslums in separating Jewish passengers from everyone else. There was also a Japanese Communist who shot up Lod airport in Israel.

The “mental illness” schtick to rationalize motives for muslims randomly murdering people has been over used. The common thread in all there mental cases is an attachment to islam. It would be nice if official investigation agencies and the lame stream media would stop assuming the general public is as clueless as they are.

when the Fed Bureau of Islam rushes out to tell us that the latest mass murder was not the work of muslims, thinking people will automatically suspect otherwise, and have plenty of reason to. imagine the thousands of fbi monkeys now frantically trying to re-arrange the evidence to fit the statement

Psychological problems? The standard sewer motive of every jihadist as coloured by western authorities too gutless to admit an unpalatable truth.

If he had mental problems, was he seeing a therapist? Was he on meds? He went through background checks to purchase guns, and would not this show. They keep saying he had no political or religious affiliations, why should authorities jump to this conclusion so quickly, especially since ISIS claims he did, and there was a similar attack at a casino in June. He had a heck of a lot of weapons in his home.

“Psychological problems”; isn’t that the very definition of an Isalmic terrorist we’ve come to be told?

They in fact found Antifi material in the hotel room and at his home. In addition, his girlfriend’s niece resides in Dubai, an islamic country. Perhaps there should be more investigation, but operatives of the Democrat-Communist-Islamic Terrorist Organization won’t want that, it doesn’t fit their narrative

Islam is a deranged cult society and it saddens me to see how many try and cover up this atrocious ” religion”
