If only he took that tone humble and fatherly always, that would be so great.

I think something like this will humble anyone and then they let their guard down. Maybe this is who he really is?

The Today Show reported this too. They said it's unclear why ISIS said that at this point and it's also unclear whether whoever reported it is even officially part of ISIS.

Well, I'm not surprised that MSNBC wouldn't be reporting it.

Mesquite isn't as small as might be reported. It borders Utah and gets a lot of traffic going to Vegas. There are quite a few hotel/casinos in the area.

Population of 18,000+/-.

Will their citizens be able to defense themselves if they were invaded, that is if the military wasn't able to at the time?

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for this horrible attack. They say that Stephen Paddock converted to Islam several months ago and that he was a soldier of the Islamic State.

Isis claims responsibility for deadliest gun massacre in US history
Terrorist group calls Stephen Paddock 'a soldier of the Islamic State'

Isis has claimed responsibility for the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Police said at least 50 people were killed and 200 wounded when a gunman opened fire on dense crowds at a concert in Las Vegas. Officials have identified the shooter as Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old American who had multiple weapons on the 32nd floor of a nearby hotel, where he is believed to have killed himself.

A statement published by the group's Amaq propaganda agency claimed the attacker was a “soldier of the Islamic State”. “The Las Vegas attacker is a soldier of the Islamic State in response to calls to target coalition countries,” it said. Isis also claimed the gunman “converted to Islam several months ago”, without providing more details. Paddock's religion and lifestyle have not yet emerged elsewhere. The wording of the release is similar to other attacks that have been inspired, rather than directed, by Isis.

Of course you are not surprised, you only watch Fox and believe everything they say. MSNBC hasn't speculated anything yet.
