Shortened title.

Full title: ISIS provides proof of Vegas claim, “careful monitoring of the crusader gathering” and other facts you do not know

The Islamic State has provided further information (in English) to substantiate its claim that Steven Paddock was a Muslim convert who waged war in the cause of Allah in Las Vegas Sunday evening, claiming that Paddock did a reconnaissance of the site of his mass shooting.

It is unwise for the authorities and the leftwing media to dismiss the Islamic State’s claims out of hand. Primarily because underestimating the Islamic State has been one of the West’s biggest mistakes, and secondly because we know nothing about this unfathomable act of evil.

I can PROVE that Stephen Paddock WAS in Dubai, UAE. He was WITH Danley. It was late May, 2016. They made a couple other stops in the Middle East as well before getting to Dubai. The pair also went to some locations in SE Asia in November, 2016.

It would take about five minutes of YouTube to find out how to make the switch from semi to auto. Anyone who has taken eighth grade shop class could do it. Of course no one does metal shop anymore.

AFT just said that 12 of the guns in the hotel room had bump fire mods. They also found guns and ammo in his Reno house.

Not to argue, but I know four or five people who went to Dubai in the past couple of years.

He did NOT have “automatic weapons!” He had standard semi-auto rifles, modified with “bump stocks,” ant fitted with large capacity 100 round magazines. A “bump stock” is basically a spring-loaded device that simulates automatic fire by using the rifle’s recoil to create a “bounce effect” on the shooters trigger finger. Thus giving the shooter the ability to simulate auto fire without ever physically relaxing/releasing his finger on/from the trigger.

I am getting rather aggravated by all these uninformed twits claiming the psychopath had “automatic assault weapons.” Unless the authorities prove otherwise, that claim is total BS.

You are spot on. The AR is one of the easiest weapons to work on I've ever handled. I love the little thing

Unwise why? Will we fight the war on terrorism harder if this was ISIS?

God bless you. Seriously. Ive read way too much ignorant junk about guns and wacked out theories about the events before and during the past several days... Your post lays it out simply, and reasonably. I couldnt have said it better.

did Isis come out with the ‘he cased the joint’ story before or after the published story of a hotel claiming that he tried to book rooms but they didn’t have the ones he wanted, the previous week or so?

He stopped shooting after about 12 minutes. He wasn’t shooting the entire 72 minutes. They would have gone in if he kept shooting.

OK,fair enough.I suspect that they told you...among other things...that it's a 13 hour non-stop flight from the East Coast.And I'll wager that they also told you that there's a mosque on every corner and that the city's transit system (which is kinda cool,actually) shuts down on Friday mornings for "prayers".

Did they,by chance,tell you *why* they were there? Business,perhaps? I've been there three times simply because Emirates Airlines has offered damn cheap fares to several places I've visited in the last few years (East Asia and Africa) and they offer free stopovers in Dubai on even those cheap fares.I tried it on my first trip with them and found the place to be fascinating...so I re-booked a couple of more times.

No interest in their gutter religion.

I don't think a trip to Dubai would be a solid indication of anything related to Islamic terrorism. It's a major hub for airline flights, and also one of the top luxury destinations in the Middle East for travelers.

If it turns out he'd gone to Pakistan or Yemen, then that would be a different story.

If you have money to spend, Dubai is fantastic. Lot’s of Americans do business there, Emirates also has super cheap flights now and is an excellent airline even if you’re flying coach.
