La Vegas Shooter Radicalized?

[Khandro]

'Las Vegas authorities now acknowledge mass murderer Stephen Paddock may have been “radicalized” before his bloody rampage Sunday at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival but they won’t say what species of radicalism the shooter may have embraced.'
So said the sheriff but wouldn't elaborate.

Imply in your-unsubtle tone all you wish, Zacsmaster, yes I am outspoken and no I’m not trolling.

[mikey4444]

lol Jahulaye !

[Zacs-Master]

Tick, tick, tick.

[Khandro]

sp //Can you or FrongPageNews confirm who in ISIS claimed responsibility.//

What would you like, name address and telephone number?

The Sheriff clearly implied that Paddock had been "radicalized". Now what does that make you think of, a radicalized Seventh Day Adventist?

[naomi24]

We don't know why he did it but if anything influenced him I think it's more likely to be something like Call of Duty.

[Jahulaye]

I refuse to talk to someone new here who wasn’t even around in the old days making childish hints and suggestions, if anyone is doubtful, use the report button and the ed will confirm who I was/am now, as for this thread and the others, I think I’ll make like a tree and leave, bye mikey4444, nice talking to youxXx

[Gromit]

The Sheriff did NOT clearly imply that he had been radicalised. In the absence of any obvious reason for the shooting, the Sheriff said he MAY have been radicalised, but that is based on no proof.

[naomi24]

^Quite.

Come back and visit us again soon....I have enjoyed this morning....Illegitimi non carborundum !

[mikey4444]

Khandro.....there is still no evidence that Paddock did what he did in the name of Islam. I am unsure why you are unwilling to accept that ?

[Jahulaye]

Thanks mikey.

ne KET ad te bar ayewards sunt :)

[naomi24]

Mikey, no one should be accepting anything until the truth is known. We can only say we don't know.

On Wednesday evening in Vegas, FBI Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse told reporters, "We have found no evidence to this point to indicate terrorism, but this is an ongoing investigation. We're going to look at all avenues, not close any."

Investigators have indicated that Paddock's life, particularly over the past decade, is largely a mystery, but they have said they haven't uncovered any specific political or religious belief system he had.

Normally at this point of an investigation, the FBI and police would have seized the perpetrator’s mobile phone, computer and tracked his or her social media profiles. Had he been a radicalised Muslim, I would have expected to see something concrete. Something praising Allah. Something about being a soldier for Jihad. Some communications with other terrorist cell members. Pictures of him visiting a mosque, literature in his home...something!!!

At this point, we should not allow alt-right ‘news’ sites to cloud our judgement and common sense.

An analogy...if you’re walking down a country lane in Britain and you hear the sound of hooves on the road behind you, whilst it’s possible that it’s a zebra, it PROBABLE that it’s a horse.

Right now, it’s possible that Paddock was a Isis terrorist, but it’s probable that he’s a loon with some as yet unrecognised beef with society.

[mikey4444]

Well said SP !

[Jahulaye]

Isis could be using anew tactic by telling new converts not to show any sign of Islam due to Muslims being under the Microscope, isn’t this’s possibility?

[jim360]

Lots of things are possible, but ISIS terrorists historically haven't been known for their subtlety. It would be odd to break that pattern now, especially as the group is losing ground in Iraq and Syria to the point where it's arguably in its death throes.

I'm just somewhat astonished that Khandro feels that ISIS is the group we should be trusting more here.

[mikey4444]

lol Jim !

[Khandro]

sp; Following your "Zebra" theory; I agree that it is unlikely that you are being followed by one, but isn't it more likely that considering the attacks on young people at concerts in Manchester and Paris this could be another?
Neither I, the sheriff, nor Frontpage have said it definitely was, but the article concludes ;

"There are so many unanswered questions that remain about Paddock and what he did, whether he had help or not.

We can’t count on the pathologically incurious, politically correct mainstream media to bother asking them. Journalists ruled out Islamic jihad almost as soon as the news of the slaughter hit the airwaves, even though it may be the cause.

The media sees only a white male, the very embodiment of evil in America, in the eyes of the Left."

Evidence may yet derail that intellectually lazy narrative.

[naomi24]

The two sides in this argument are as bad as one another. On the one hand we have people who are determined to attribute this to Islam, and on the other people who are as equally determined to contradict that. Speculation is pointless. We don’t know.

[mikey4444]

Khandro....the attacks in Manchester and Paris have nothing whatsoever in common with the murders in Las Vegas.....not even a little bit. You are conflating two entirely different situations.

You might as well say that there may, just may, have been an Islamic angle to the attack in Sandy Hook.
