Woah. Sorry about the long clickbaity title, but this is important information, and I need your attention. This is starting to feel like the tv-show "Homeland".
IS issues official communique, identifying Paddock as "Abu Abd Abdulbar al-Ameriki"
Jihadwatch.org reports that The Islamic State is NOT backing off from its claim of responsibility for the Las Vegas massacre. They are not letting the "white supremacist" story go unhindered, they are doubling down.
The independent.co.uk reports the same, that Paddock was an islamic sleeper cell waiting for orders.
Well, is this so far fetched? We hear stories all the time of white brits who convert to Islam, and swedish women who starts to wear hijabs. People all over the West are converting, and some of the most radical ones are ethnic whites. Just recently a 19 year old norwegian (ethnic norwegian) was killed in Syria after he converted to Islam and became radicalized within months. This shit happens all the time.
It isn't true that IS has a history of claiming others attacks as their own
According to Rohan Gunaratna, author of "inside al-Qaeda" and the head of International Centre for Political violence and Terrorism Research - the propaganda organs of IS exaggerate, but do not falsely take credit for attacks mounted by other entities.
However, IS made a false claim that a gambling addict shot up and torched a casino in Manila, Philippines in June. IS claimed credit, saying that Jessie Javier Carlos 42, converted to Islam months before. This turned out to be a total lie.
So far I think this is the most credible explanation though. I mean, I'm sure someone without any political or religious beliefs COULD do something like this - everything is possible. But that would be so rare. All mass murders have some sort of conviction. Those who just like to kill and torture people are serial killers who kidnap you and put you under their bed in a cage for years.
And some has claimed that he "lost it". I've been working with people who have "lost it", and yes, they are capable of violence. They can hit at you, run, jump, and probably even shoot you if they had the chance, but their mind is racing. They can't plan ahead, their emotions are out of control, they don't know who they are or where they are. They couldn't pull something like this off. A psychotic person (a person who has snapped - as the media say) would most likely not be able to organize something like this.
A woman in the crowd told people that they were going to die tonight
Another strange plot twist. A woman, not Paddocks supposed girlfriend Marilou Danley, were according to a witness running around telling people they were going to be killed just 45 minutes before the shooting. Marilou Danley was not in the state on the night of the massacre.
