>>ISIS is taking responsibility for the attack.<<

I read that his wife or roommate or girlfriend...whatever, was from Indonesia and held an Aussie passport.

We need to wait for more details. What will they find in his hotel room/car/home? Any material related to the nutcase muzzies? Will see. Just thought it was interesting the whole Indonesian affiliation.

"I dont believe that (ISIS inspired) for a second, this guy was either a lunatic or a leftist Trump voter hater."

Radical Muslims are in bed with the extremist and violent left. Case in point:

Right, but the “white male” narrative falls apart if one asks a simple
question, why would a white male target a venue that attracts predominantly white people? What, white guilt?

Antifa Europe also took credit. This is going to be a wait and see. Before they took down the social media of the girlfriend people said she had a lot of leftist posts. No screen shots so far though.

There is NO precedent for ISIS falsely taking credit for such an attack. Do your homework.

While it is possible that this is true, I’d rather err on the side of taking anything that ISIS says with several pallets of salt.

He sounds more like the unibomber - radical Leftist, hates religion, etc.

We do not have much information yet. His age works against the flood of digital information that we usually have.

If he's anything other than a Trumpster, the news media will cover up everything they possibly can...

I’m not saying it’s impossible but he hardly fits the usual ISIS asset. I think I’ll wait for a more reliable confirmation from the Las Vegas law enforcement officials.

Something doesn't compute... According to his brother... 'He’s just a guy who lived in Mesquite who liked burritos.'

Burritos... Hmmmm... That does sound awfully suspicious.

I've eaten burritos and I have noticed that whether you're eating tacos, burritos, or any other Mexican dish that they all sort of taste the same. Just a bunch of beans, rice, corn and other veggies mashed up with ground beef, or chicken and then formed into whatever edible flour created vessel they can stuff them into.

“You’d have to have some powerful connections to get your hands on a $65,000 fully automatic rifle like he used.”


No, just $65,000, a clean record and a little patience (both for the approval process and to find the particular gun that you’re looking for). No “connections” necessary.

They don’t have a record of falsely claiming responsibility, do they?

ISIS takes responsibility for anything involving infidels dying.

This.

My first question is how did this guy get a full auto weapon. You have to go through a rigorous background check for a class 111 stamp and the cheapest one is about $14,000.

I don’t think a 64 year old white guy converted to Islam. Just saying.

I don't either.

Exactly. But no one - that I’ve heard - in the msm is asking why a “White Supremacist” would attack a Country Music Venue.

They’ve got to get the idea in everyone’s head that White Males are inherently violent and must have their guns confiscated.
