The killer was a white guy, a Christian by birth if not belief. He was not radical, just a crazed man given the means by the gun lobby to terrorize innocent concertgoers in Las Vegas on Sunday night, shooting to death 59 of them. Stephen C. Paddock was, by all accounts so far, an ordinary American. That is what most terrifies the right.
And so, some on the far right have convinced themselves that Paddock could not be what he seems, what the authorities say he is. They say facts—alternative facts, perhaps—will inevitably reveal the truth, even as mainstream media outlets do everything they can to skewer that reality, so as not to offend the sensibilities of coastal elites.
This is how America grieves and mourns in 2017.
The lack of certitude about Paddock was conveyed by President Donald J. Trump himself, who on Tuesday was asked if the 64-year-old killer could have been a member or supporter of the Islamic State group (ISIS). There is no evidence whatsoever that that was the case, and although ISIS did attempt to take responsibility for the attack, this was almost certainly what Politico called “the terrorist organization's desire for publicity.”
The FBI has said ISIS is not responsible for the attack. Senator Richard M. Burr, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, similarly asserted that "it doesn't seem to have a terrorism nexus."
And if some international organization were directing Paddock, Trump would have surely known as much from the President’s Daily Briefing, which would have given him a clear overview of terrorist activity around the world.

And too many will believe him.
Lie, lie, lie..
Divide, divide, divide..
It's what they do.
1. Christian
2. White
3. Male
You’re out!
ISIS is more credible than the FBI.

And Michael Brown was a young saint.

There is no such thing, but nice try.
I've already seen this stuff going on in the social media.
He was an active registered Democrat in Florida. He started his gun buying spree during the election in 2016.

OK, I think I can see the bile dripping from the anti-Trump author’s mouth.
Well that is a big difference. Heck some are white by birth, but believe they are black. Does the same analogy apply and should they be viewed as black, even by blacks who are denying that they are black? What a stupid statement this person penned. No wonder the press become more irrelevant with each passing day.
This guy was a white male. Perhaps we’ll see if he claimed any religion. The Scalise shooter was also a white male. I don’t know whether he claimed any religion. That makes two out of the last how many thousand?
Unless there is a pattern in these shootings, I don’t have much interest in the demographics. If there is a pattern, and I’m thinking of the obvious one, that’s different. Otherwise, religion is no more relevant than what a criminal had for breakfast.
Unsurprising from NewsWeakly, but there is zero indication Paddock was Christian. In fact, I’ve heard him described as atheist.
But as usual, they lie.
Oh yes, the fellow with “aryan” in his surname, who used to work for the NY Daily Snooze.
He had to apologize early last year for making false Nazi comparisons. Now the dog returns to his vomit.
No one is “Christian by birth” even if one’s parent or parents were followers of Jesus.
If his parent or parents proclaimed Jesus Christ as their Savior and Redeemer, they did that by their personal choice, with the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Becoming followers of Christ is not genetic nor carried in one’s DNA but by personal decisions to turn one’s life around and proclaim salvation by one way, the only way, through the blood shed on the Cross by God’s substitutionary lamb sacrificed for His creation.
Most leftists are Christian by birth if not belief.
He looks like he gets gay with himself.
This is a startling revelation from these shytheads. I've long known that this is what the left feeeeeeeeeels but I haven't seen them so openly admit it before.
So what does it mean? It means that this can be applied every bit as much to Øbongo as it is the LV shooter. Øbongo was born and raised a muzzie. Whatever he purports to being now, islam says if you were born muzzie you stay muzzie (even in a disgraced apostate state).
I would ask this doofus for proof that the shooter was Christian. Being born white does not make a person a Christian. But then the writer of this nonsense is too stupid to live.
He's also anti-TRUMP
So what is this IDIOT's point?
The obvious thing to me this author is attempting to relate is that there is NO difference, and just as many terror attacks occur with both islamic and Christian terrorists..
