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.
Yet another curious angle is that an Israeli source earlier this morning identified him as Stephen C. Pollock (same middle initial, but different middle name) who was known to Israeli secret services as an Islamic convert and was also known by a Muslim name (Samir al something or another). This particular Pollock was in his 40s and from Florida and had a criminal record, so he may have converted in jail. He seems to have spent time in the ME though.
The info is on one of the longer early threads here.
Possible mistaken ID by ISIS? Or possible ID falsification by ISIS?
