Latest news from Fox News ...they have said ISIS has claimed responsibility and that the shooter, Paddock, had converted to Islam recently. This is not yet confirmed, but that is the information Fox News has received.
I am watching MSNBC and they are not reporting any of that. The story will change a few times before we actually know the truth.
OR (a) ISIS claimed responsibility because he was in fact a convert who acted on their behalf (b) ISIS claimed responsibility just to get attention and this guy had nothing to do with Islam
This man was planning this attack for days or even weeks. How could you say he didn't have an agenda. Yes he did have an agenda, which is to kill as many people as possible.
I think the differentiation for "terrorism" though is it needs to be more politically motivated. A psycho who just gets off on killing people isn't looking to cause political upheaval. So the point is, mass murder isn't terrorism. Serial killers arent terrorists. Disgusting that we even have to dissect things like this, but it is what it is.
I'd like to know where you got this "he was known to local law enforcement" given the reports are all they knew of him was he got a ticket a few years ago. (NBC,FOX)
Time for people to start sourcing (linking) their information instead of just passing on any crap that's being spewed as there's PLENTY of that happening right now.
Several print sources including msn.com have reported this very thing - that he was known to authorities.
Yes tell the truth and shame the devil. There is a serious bias in this country and how people perceive others. I swear to the white man has remarketed themselves very well in this country and all over the world. Even when they kill off hundreds they still aren't feared are callled out as radical. let this had been Chicago and a black man. They quick to call out black on black crime though.
