I’m thinking it’s not ISIS. There’s almost always some aspect of “transportation” involved in their attacks. Usually that means it’s a train station or the train or subway itself as a target. There are the jets of 9/11 of course. Lately trucks and cars are the weapon, plus some stabbing as Act Two.

The only Muslim attacks in the U.S. and Europe that come to mind immediately that do not have a transportation angle are the Minnesota stabber and the Boston Marathon. (I’m not counting “people running for fun” as “transportation” per se.)

He was able to get a room with an elevated view of the concert area

I might be reaching here, but if I am interpreting the geometry correctly, he was not just on the correct side of the hotel, but in the wing closest to the concert itself, and in a room at the end of that wing.

They've said he was in the room since Sep 28, but they haven't said when the reservation was made. What if they're not telling us that somehow he snagged that reservation with little or no advance in a hotel that was sold out for months for that concert? That would say he had a friend on the inside, and that the authorities are working that angle pretty aggressively.

Folks, ISIS always wants to claim credit for any mass shootings or murders. It’s their shtick. Take this with a grain of salt.

She said she loved Dubai, visiting her niece, but it was too hot.

I haven’t seen my brother in almost a year and he lives about 40 blocks from me. And we are on excellent terms but our lives are just very separate. If I converted to islam in 2017, he would know nothing about it. Siblings are not necessary close.

And our government has every reason to hid an islamic attack. We’ll see.

The attempted assassination of several Republican HOR members at Beseball practice seems to be an act of war from the left, well researched beyond the shooter’s ability to carry it out.


A mass assassination attempt of congress members..... you’d actually think that would remain in the news for some time and have people talking about it..... nothing was wiped from the headlines faster.

This took a lot of preparation and planning.

OK, so he planned a Vegas suicide and wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. He had probably been losing his grip on reality. I'm just not seeing politics or religion behind this. Not yet, anyways.

I'm sure it would be easier if he was wearing his "I'm With Her" T-shirt and has a Facebook page full of TrumpRage but as of yet, this doesn't seem to be the case.

I’m not saying it was religion or politics, I’m just saying the narrative isn’t fitting the evidence.

I don't believe for a minute this guy was ISIS (or Antifa as others are speculating).

I think he was just an angry loser who snapped.

With the "girlfriend" holding Australian citizenship and the Melbourne ISIS group claiming that one of their comrades was involved, I'd say that it's possible that both scenarios were in play.

Your logic is valid in my book.

are muzzies allowed suicide?

Ask your local imam. ;-)

Seriously, the question seems to more accurately be "WHEN are muzzies allowed suicide?" Carried out as part of the same act that killed 50-odd infidels and injured ten times that number, his self-death does not strike me as substantially different than blowing up a bus full of Israelis with an explosive vest.

“The authorities will not admit it was Islam even if it was.

Islam is a religion of peace, you know........”

And Comey would find no intent thus no crime.
