Beat me to it LMAO!

I know the person you quoted would do ANYTHING for this attack to be linked to Islam, but it's not looking like it.

ISIS has no proof that this is true. Let's wait until the investigation finds the truth.

MSNBC actually just interviewed somebody that mentioned ISIS but wasn't serious about it. ISIS is just looking for some attention but my bet they had nothing to do with it.

Sure, but because you're in a car, restricts where you can and cannot go. You're limited by mobility.

Being on foot, you have the best mobility and when you're armed... bingo. You've set up what just happened in Vegas.

The only reference to ISIS I've heard on the news in regards to this shooting is how ISIS has posted up on their social media platforms is that they are taking responsibility for this shooting. So of course if ISIS posts this up, people are going to talk about it, whether or not ISIS is correct.

ISIS are nothing but opportunists. There is absolutely no evidence (so far) that indicates this shooting was ISIS inspired. The media outlets that I've listened to so far have only mentioned ISIS in the sense that they (ISIS) themselves have been posting up on ISIS social media platforms that they (ISIS) had something to do with it. Total BS as far as I'm concerned right now. Unless there is some type of proof that comes out during the investigation, as of now, there is none that we know of that indicates such.

Exactly.

Any mass casualty event and you can bet ISIS will claim responsibility. ISIS are opportunists.

Bottom line is no one cares long term. In the past year, the nightclub, airport and softball field got shot up. We spend a few days on it, argue about politics and guns and race and religion and then move on. It's only going to get worse bc somewhere, someone hears "the biggest act in history" and thinks "hmmm".

Who cares if it's a left or right leaning person? There's only 2 major parties so it's going to be one or the other. The person doesn't represent the party. The person doesn't represent gun owners or whatever other issue you try to defend using him as a litmus test.

Not at all. How many sidewalks are immediately adjacent to streets in cities everywhere all over the US?

Don't you remember the car that drove up onto the sidewalk in Las Vegas and hit a bunch of people? They didn't ban vehicles after that.
