Full tittle : “Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago”: Islamic State claims responsibility for attack
"The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition. The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago.”
“Las Vegas Shootout Live: 50 Killed, ISIS Claims Responsibility,” The Quint, October 2, 2017 (thanks to Yaakov):
An active shooter fired at an outdoor concert crowd in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Casino area. At least 50 people died and 400 were injured in the shooting, that was later claimed by ISIS. The roads leading to the Vegas strip were shut by the police. The gunman was shot down at the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. The Nevada sheriff identified Stephen Paddock as the suspected gunman in Las Vegas shootout.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a shooting that killed at least 50 people and wounded over 400 in Las Vegas early on Monday, and said the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.
“The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition,” the group’s news agency Amaq said in reference to the US-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.

Practitioners of Islam can “sin” and many do. Upon killing a kaffir (non-Muslim) in an act of jihad their sins are “wiped” clean.
No wonder the media started obsessing about gun control within 2 seconds of the last shot being fired. They will sit on the m*slim angle as long as they can.
yep.
That’s exactly what I am saying.
I could right now from my home computer ...
find out where the next large outdoor concert was taking place, use google earth to scout out the best nearby hotels overlooking the venue, book a hotel room on any desired floor for the week of the event. Then could go to craigslist and purchase any amount and type of weapons I wish and could afford. I could then order a 3d printer to be delivered to my home and download full plans for full auto conversion kits for any of the guns I had purchased. Get to hotel room and determine I am too short for the line of site needed. Go to local walmart and get two stools to stand on, and pick up a couple of cameras to film the whole episode so I can be “famous”. Go back to hotel room, wait for concert, shoot out windows, stand on stools and shoot into 20,000+ crowd, 300+ yards away without fear of return fire, then end myself when I hear cops coming.
Big Whoop, takes no brains at all, any person no a compete retard who wanted to, could pull it off.

Have you ever been to Dubai?
Did I read it was a 3 day country music festival?
I think a crucial bit of info on gun registrations is being held back.
Antifa types tend towards self-preservation, not suicide. They attack when they outnumber or out gun you.
...there’s the key...when was it booked? He had to specify the room location months ahead if this venue. Very well-planned !
Agreed, sound approach.
Perhaps more important, while that killer is no longer a threat, we are left with an active, wanna be copy-kat killer.
You're exaggerating my rebuttal.
I never said the guy was any sort of genius. I merely pointed out that he planned this atrocity at least a few days in advance, and took pains getting all those guns into his room without raising suspicion.
If so, will we be allowed to hear the truth?
The same enemy wears different hats though.
Antifa or Islam - same to me.
I'm not really sure what kind of planning you think is involved in carrying bags into a hotel room. In a hotel like that, hundreds if not thousands of people do it every day, bags of all shapes and sizes. They're not going to care one whit if a guy lugs a few duffels to his room from his car, are they?
In other words, people seem to think it's a lot more difficult to bring luggage to your room than it really is. Admittedly, in Las Vegas hotels there's not always that straight shot from car->room like you'd see nearly anywhere else. You're usually walking past the front desk, through the gaming room, to the elevators, but so what. You get a cart, load it up, and off you go.
Anyone who thinks hotels are going to start searching bags of guests after those, or wonder why they weren't already, needs to stay at home and never go outside, because that kind of thinking is weird and wrong and should never happen. LOL
So maybe you think the hotel would notice some suspiciously long parcels... rifles can be broken down. I imagine I could break down some ARs into the upper/lower and fit several no problem into a standard 30-33" tall rolling suitcase, with room for a couple thousands rounds of ammo. It'd be heavy but... rolling suitcase.
yep, he certainly planned this, this was not spontaneous. But getting the guns into the room would be easy. You can carry almost anything into a hotel room unnoticed within luggage.
Listen to you - all puffed up and angry. Are you a spokesman for ISIS? You sound offended.
I guess that's right.
I concede the point about getting the guns into his room, but I stand by my other point about premeditation. The lunatic planned this.
Yeah...all puffed up and angry. Or....simply trying to let the truth lead....
Well, yeah... I'm not sure how far in advance, but it could have been as little as a couple days. True, in Vegas it can be hard to get a room only a day or two in advance but it can be done, especially if you don't mind paying for a suite (no idea if his was, just going on the rumor that it may have been).
I guess we'll find out more, like just how far in advance he got the room, because that right there tells us a lot of about just when he started planning, or at least going into the operational phase. That and "where did the guns come from, and how long ago".
