Isis is desperate to get attention looks like.
Everybody investigating should say "We are going to spend some time on this and we'll be back with you in a week."
6 months from now the story will be what it is and no one will care whether they heard it on day 1 or day 7, would save a lot of BS.

If ISIS says it 50 times, I'll believe them. That's my threshold.

All terrorist organizations are pissed that they did not think of this first. The world better pay attention. This could be the new “rental truck technique”. Any open air venue in the world with elevated buildings nearby?
Mardi Gras? Carnival’? All those people on the beach in Brazil. There is nowhere to run. Long line of hotels facing victims. Your Choice is to run into gunfire or swim out to sea. Like fricking D-Day but you’re drunk and don’t have a gun.
They better be on their toes at ANY open air gathering of people. Where elevated places are nearby within range of rifles.

I'm okay with swimming out to sea. Bullets won't last forever.

I don't go to the strip very often, but seeing and hearing it be like a ghost town today was pretty freaky.

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo says several pounds of ammonium nitrate, a material used to make explosives, was found in the car of the man who authorities say killed 59 people and wounded 527 others on Sunday by firing down on a crowd of over 22,000 at an outdoor country music festival.
Lombardo also says investigators still want to talk the girlfriend of shooter Stephen Craig Paddock. He says she will be interviewed when she returns from an overseas trip. Lombardo says she's in Tokyo.

The suspect's brother said the family is in shock and that Stephen Paddock "has never even drawn a gun."
Eric Paddock struggled to find the words to explain how it felt to learn his brother, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, was the gunman who opened fire on thousands in Las Vegas on Sunday night and killed more than 50.
Standing in front of reporters on the brick entryway of his Florida home, Eric Paddock told CNN he saw no signs of potential violence from his brother. The two exchanged messages just a few weeks ago.
“He texted me to see how my mom was after we didn’t have power for five days in the neighborhood,” said Paddock, who lives east of Orlando. “He talked to her on the phone a week or two ago, then sent her a walker because she’s having trouble walking.”
He said he thought his brother had a couple of handguns in a safe and possibly a rifle, but that was the extent of his weaponry.
When asked if his brother sounded like the kind of person who could be responsible for Sunday night’s massacre, Eric Paddock shrugged his shoulders with arms opened in apparent exasperation.
“He’s never even drawn a gun. It makes no sense. He’s never hit anybody,” Paddock said. “It just makes no sense. It’s like an asteroid. ... He had no machine guns when I moved him to Mesquite. Find out who he bought the machine guns from.”
Paddock also said their father was once on the FBI’s most-wanted list. Records show Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, a bank robber who escaped from prison, was removed from the list in 1977 and arrested in 1978, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He died in 1998.
Paddock said their family was struggling to deal with the news of the attack.“We’re [messed] up,” he said, using an expletive. “I got a 90-year-old mother whose son just killed 50-plus people and now he’s dead.”
Sharon Judy, a neighbor of the suspect from Central Florida, where he lived before moving to Nevada, said she met Paddock when she moved into the neighborhood around the same time as he did.
She said he described himself as a world traveler and "professional gambler by trade" and said he once showed her a picture of himself winning a $20,000 slot-machine jackpot.
Judy said she was shocked when she heard the news on the radio and didn't know the neighborhood connection to the shooting until reporters came knocking on her door.
"He was friendly all the time," she said.

I wonder what New Year's will be like this year? They shut it down and the Blvd fills with people.
Will people feel safe doing that?

"Sharon Judy" doesn't sound like a fictional name at all.

Still no motive, a millionaire has no internet footprint; while his brother said he never drew a gun but had some guns and rifles in a safe. Top it off with Jimmy Kimmell crying about common sense gun control.

If people don't question every single item the media presents on this occurrence, they are being willfully obtuse.

Supposedly this guy was using a “bump stock“. So the guns technically weren’t fully automatic

Can you note any other attacks ISIS took credit for, where they were fibbing?
There aren't any.

Rakim says, Stephen is a conservative, ISIS says he is ISIS, I say the only thing remaining is he is a pussy hat wearing, Trump hating, possible antifa member.

True. I hope we get a thorough and transparent investigation out of this.

Yeah I'm going to cower in fear anytime I'm outside with a bunch of people
Knowing there's an infinitely higher probability of dying in my truck on the way there or home
