La Vegas Shooter Radicalized?
'Las Vegas authorities now acknowledge mass murderer Stephen Paddock may have been “radicalized” before his bloody rampage Sunday at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival but they won’t say what species of radicalism the shooter may have embraced.'
So said the sheriff but wouldn't elaborate.

On Wednesday evening in Vegas, FBI Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse told reporters, "We have found no evidence to this point to indicate terrorism, but this is an ongoing investigation. We're going to look at all avenues, not close any."
Investigators have indicated that Paddock's life, particularly over the past decade, is largely a mystery, but they have said they haven't uncovered any specific political or religious belief system he had.
Normally at this point of an investigation, the FBI and police would have seized the perpetrator’s mobile phone, computer and tracked his or her social media profiles. Had he been a radicalised Muslim, I would have expected to see something concrete. Something praising Allah. Something about being a soldier for Jihad. Some communications with other terrorist cell members. Pictures of him visiting a mosque, literature in his home...something!!!
At this point, we should not allow alt-right ‘news’ sites to cloud our judgement and common sense.
An analogy...if you’re walking down a country lane in Britain and you hear the sound of hooves on the road behind you, whilst it’s possible that it’s a zebra, it PROBABLE that it’s a horse.
Right now, it’s possible that Paddock was a Isis terrorist, but it’s probable that he’s a loon with some as yet unrecognised beef with society.

Lots of things are possible, but ISIS terrorists historically haven't been known for their subtlety. It would be odd to break that pattern now, especially as the group is losing ground in Iraq and Syria to the point where it's arguably in its death throes.
I'm just somewhat astonished that Khandro feels that ISIS is the group we should be trusting more here.

sp; Following your "Zebra" theory; I agree that it is unlikely that you are being followed by one, but isn't it more likely that considering the attacks on young people at concerts in Manchester and Paris this could be another?
Neither I, the sheriff, nor Frontpage have said it definitely was, but the article concludes ;
"There are so many unanswered questions that remain about Paddock and what he did, whether he had help or not.
We can’t count on the pathologically incurious, politically correct mainstream media to bother asking them. Journalists ruled out Islamic jihad almost as soon as the news of the slaughter hit the airwaves, even though it may be the cause.
The media sees only a white male, the very embodiment of evil in America, in the eyes of the Left."
Evidence may yet derail that intellectually lazy narrative.
