ISIS are claiming they are behind America’s worst ever mass gun shooting that killed at least 50 people - despite shooter Stephen Paddock having no known links to the terror group.
The death cult claimed in a statement published by their official Amaq propaganda agency that the attacker recently converted to Islam and was a "soldier of the Islamic State".

Seems like just a week or two ago I heard that ISIS/Taliban/etc put out a warning to all muslims; don’t go to public gatherings in the USA. I guess they meant business. How many of these lone wolf killers have we allowed into our country thanks to the dems and obama, a member of the muslim brotherhood, in particular.
If not directly, then at least in spirit.
I could be wrong but ISIS usually doesn’t claim reponsibility for things they didn’t do. Freepers please correct me if I am wrong.
BTW ISIS video called for lone wolf attacks on vegas strip back in may.
Very doubtful. 64 year old people don’t usually convert to anything. More likely either a lunatic or another false flag. Getting your hands on a full auto weapon is not an easy feat.
hmmm White old guy living in Nv converts to islame??? yeah totally believable..
I was going to make that same comment.
Source for the calls for an attack back in May?
This could develop into a very interesting narrative.
The two broken windows are pretty far apart for a 64 year old man to sprint between them while reloading. Must have been in really good shape…unless someone else had killed him in his room to use his window and there was a second shooter at the other window. But we’ll never know…..
That’s what’s nagging at me. The Grassy Knoll scenario. Very clever to have a pussy whipped fall guy.
Questions.
He took the room that faced that concert.
How was he able to get that many firearms up there without anyone knowing? They have security cams no?
He knew the concert was going to be held then, how long before this event did he rent that room?
Who helped him with the set up?
Shooter was apparently trying to live as a professional gambler. Just a guess on my part, but I think the answer to motivation may lay in his finances. He could have been bankrupt and just decided to go out with a bang.
I can’t think of a single instance when ISIS falsely claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack.
Not to be hyper-critical, but don’t buy into this “lone wolf” BS - in this or any other situation. If one is an adherent to a philosophy or religion that compels its members to kill anyone who is not an adherent, that person is not a lone wolf, especially as it relates to fundamentalist interpretations of the Quran. As to allowing them into our country, it’s been going on for years. Google the name “George [Korkor Artin] Tajirian.”
Not sure what the statistics are today, but a few short years ago not a single imam in the United States was born here and the vast majority were adherents to one or more of the extreme fundamental Islamic sects, particularly Wahhabism (a Saudi sect).
While there are only circumstantial indications that Paddock might have been a convert (ISIS threat of an attack in Las Vegas, threats that “all of you will die” at the concert, the massacre itself and ISIS’ claim of responsibility and that Paddock was one of their soldiers), one has to wonder: Did Paddock have a Class III FFL and, if not, how and from whom did he obtain a fully-automatic weapon? Fully-auto weapons are not cheap and, as a rule, can’t be purchased at the local gun shop.
A lot yet to be learned about this attack...
More will come out with time, but I would think if there was an isis angle we would have some facebook or twitter posting from this guy out in the news by now. I don’t see it, but obviously I could be wrong.
A more curious angle is how did this guy have fully auto weapons and what were the rifles? Have not heard what they were yet, but it’s very difficult to get these for regular law abiding citizens.
Another curious angle for me is that they found at least 10 rifles in his hotel room. The hotel being reported is the Mandalay Bay. I guess he could have snuck them in one at a time, but it’s also being reported that he’s been in the room since he checked in on Thursday. That means to me he brought all 10 in during that time. So, even if he had 10 rifles in rifle cases/bags, I would think in a crowded hotel such as that, someone might take notice of a guy bringing in 10 encased rifles.
According to inside sources, the Mandalay has been booked solid for over a month in anticipation of the concert/festival. If so, it was planned for a while.
ISIS called for a lone wolf attack on the Las Vegas Strip in a chilling ‘call to arms’ video released in May
From Fox News on May 25th:
And, from Channel 8 in Las Vegas:
http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/new-isis-video-appears-to-threaten-las-vegas/493629912
If it happened anywhere else, maybe, but there are overlapping cameras covering about every inch of Las Vegas. Too many eyes, too many, disc, too many people involved that aren't RIGHT now copying, saving, sending, and looking through ALL of their cameras right now.
Let’s not forget that it was George W. Bush who told us that Islam is a religion of peace.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation could not have happened without the full cooperation of BOTH parties.
