ISIS is full of shit and fuck all alt right nutters who eat it up

ISIS claimed the Law Vegas shooting, and took credit for it. Just one tiny problem. There's no trace of any Islamic influence on this guy. Not a trace. The guy is also keeping his mouth shut. Which would be strange if it would be politically motivated.

This is just evidence that IS will claim any terror attack anywhere just to spread terror. Perhaps there's more that are total bullshit.

What if the shooter, Stephen Paddock, would be brown? Do you think there'd be any question regarding his affiliation with ISIS?

 

[repoman]

Only if there is a video of him professing he did the attack for ISIS would I believe it.

One in a million shot.

No reason to be mad about it. ISIS heads are rarely in direct control/preparation of terrorism activity in the west. So they did not know for sure it was not one of their followers they inspired.

Well, at this point, if he were to say anything it would be "Braaaaains".....

Which is exactly my point. They're probably not in direct control of anything outside Syria. So they shouldn't be given the credit... for anything. Except the destruction of ancient monuments.

And nobody gives them credit for this massacre

Well, the one quote my radio station played was a statement from Las Vegas Law Enforcement, "The shooter is dead, currently..."

I thought it might just be habit, saying 'currently,' like in the navy officers redundantly say 'at this time' during status reports.
But maybe he just knows something...?

 

[iolo]

It all gives ISIS publicity, so that thickoes should hate and bully Muslims and thus give them (ISIS) more converts.

Well, for a while yesterday, Tom Petty was dead, currently. Then he wasn't. Then he was again.

Media reported on ISIS taking credit for it. The damage is already done. Now paranoid snowflakes, like Derec and Angelo will just an ever deepening paranoia about Islam.

Based on a Freep'er link I found, the original source came via some journalist for an Israel Magazine. I bet Loren will eat that stuff up.

I personally don't get why someone would need to connect this falsely attach to ISIS. It isn't as if the US is neutral on ISIS.

 

[untermensche]

ISIS mind control through the internet.

They didn't believe until it was too late.

 

[Derec]

It's a weird one. I know it is unlikely this guy was a Muslim convert. But on the other hand, Islamic State has not been in the habit of claiming random attacks by non-Muslims. At most they claimed lone wolf attacks by fellow Muslims who were inspired by, but not directly involved with, the wannabe Caliphate.
Perhaps they were just impressed with the body count: "Hakim, you imbecile, why couldn't you organize something this deadly" ...

Now paranoid snowflakes, like Derec and Angelo will just an ever deepening paranoia about Islam.

Paranoia is a persecution complex. It does not apply, as Islam is an actual existential threat to the West. If anything, you are suffering from the opposite - you are pathologically oblivious to this very real threat.

P.S.: I know English is not your first language, but you are using "snowflake" wrong. Your mistake was to trust the likes of Don2 and laughing dog on usage. That would be like looking up to Trump for guidance on how to act presidential in a crisis.

This is exactly the paranoia I'm talking about. Just completely fucking nuts. Yes, I am oblivious to the threat. I don't think the threat is real. I think you don't have a grasp of history and have zero context or proportion.

A snowflake is sensitive and needs mollycuddling to prevent it from having it's feelings hurt. Everything new is a threat and scary for the snowflake

Yep, it is amazing how scared/fearful the alt-right is of imagined boogiemen...aka snowflakes. Quite a few get swept up into absurd conspiracy theories that justify their existing fears. That is not to say there is no risk of being a victim of an Islamic 'terror' attack, but it is blown way out of proportion compared to so many other things...

Here is one conman (or nutter), disgraced former FBI agent John Guandolo, already peddling such paranoia and aiding ISIS:

While investigation reveals Paddock was a politically left-wing individual with possible Marxist ties to Antifa and other groups, the evidence points to jihad.

Since UTT first published it's initial assessment, the Islamic State claimed the Las Vegas attack was conducted by one of their "soldiers."

It should be noted, this is a very strong data point in understanding the events in Las Vegas.

It's an old slang word, but it's become used again in just the past few months.

They say that ISIS has never claimed something they haven't really done. So this would be the first time.

Add to that fact, the shooter is dead. That means he was pretty damn nuts if he really killed himself. As bad as a massacre is, killing yourself means a part of even the lizard level of your brain is not functioning.

Then there are people like Alex Jones saying he was working with antifa in the effort to start a new civil war. In the meantime, most of the media is wondering what the motive was. And the authorities are very slow to release any real information. Ive read they say they have evidence of an escape plan but then won't give any details. Why not?

There is no telling what really happened. I dont think any of us will ever know for sure. Not in a post 911 world. Probably not even in a post JFK world.
