    Once again, a moon-howling muslim slaughters innocent people. NO other group in western civilization does this on such a regular basis. Yet the Democrat/ Socialist/ Marxist talking heads & leaders would have you believe they are "just like us".

    Not to stray off topic, but isn't that a Chinese AK on bottom? Never seen a Romanian AK with that front trunnion rivet pattern or front sight before?

    Anyone else tired of hearing "Home Depot truck"? I realize he rented the truck from them but it reminds me of the D.C. Sniper case where the kept harping about it being a "Bushmaster AR15". Does it really matter where he rented the truck any more than what company made the rifle? How long before they want to ban truck rentals? Wouldn't be surprised if HD stops renting them.

    This guy is alive, Paddock isn't. That's gonna make the "why" a little harder to figure out. What information are you looking for on the Vegas shooter?

    I realize that he immigrated here so more might be out there on him but there's something on everybody out there really
    Within hours there was a history and track of his movements
    Kind of makes me wonder if he was on the radar but slipped through the cracks maybe not but .......
    The Vegas shooter still can't get a good handle where he was coming from
    Seems like he learned what not to do to leave clues behind based on previous incidents
    Just speculating really, watching it unfold

    On the news tonight, reports were saying how he was bragging from his hospital bed about what he did. He is also reported to have said that it was his intention to get on the bridge (Brooklyn??) near this bike path and hit more pedestrians but hitting that lamp post derailed that idea.

    Maybe this will help get more countries on the block list for immigration to the US. I'm afraid that by the time the incompetent tools (to be nice) running this country realize how bad it is it will be too late to do anything about it.

    US Muslims Fear Backlash After Next Week’s Car Bombing
    This is a satirical article.
    U.S. Muslims say they fear a racist backlash against their community next week, when one of their number will kill dozens with a car bomb.
    On Nov. 8, thousands of Donald Trump opponents will assemble in New York City to scream helplessly at the sky in commemoration of Trump’s election victory one year prior. But the festive vibe of existential agony will be cruelly broken after Zaid al-Iskandar detonates a suicide car bomb in the middle of the festivities, killing 27 and wounding more than 100.

    "No potential motive has been released."

    Ah yes, seems others wonder the same
    IMHO the biggest clue "and elephant in the room" is the target audience
    Of course it came out earlier that he had cased other events in the country so that's covered
    They were able to find that out without much problem

    Prioritizing political correctness over safety left America exposed again.

    After Tuesday’s terrorist attack, the useless pols of New York quickly assembled before the cameras to recite the usual litany of politically correct talking points. Looking like a lost giraffe, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio stepped up to the microphone and said that “the last thing we should do is start casting dispersions” on Islam. That moment of illiteracy was then followed by a burst of illogic, as he argued that the proper response to Islamic terrorism in a tolerant country is even more tolerance.

    “Anyone who wants to come into this country should be very thoroughly vetted as an individual,” he said. “But the minute you start generalizing it, especially to a whole religion, then unfortunately we’re sending the exact negative message that a lot of our enemies want and the terrorists wants to affirm — that this nation is somehow anti-Muslim. We’ve got to do the exact opposite. We’ve got to show we respect all people in America.”

    In other words, let’s prioritize political correctness over safety and propaganda over truth. That is exactly what “our enemies want,” and that’s why they seek out the most progressive, “Islam-friendly” capitals in the world — from New York City to London to Paris — as the scenes of their terrorism. They know that the liberal West is too stupid and decadent to defend itself.
    https://spectator.org/jihadisms-e-z-pass-to-new-york/

    Why Did The New York Deputy Commissioner Say NYC Jihad Massacre “Isn’t About Islam”?
    In a press conference after Sayfullo Saipov’s vehicular jihad massacre in Manhattan, New York Deputy Police Commissioner John Miller said, “This isn’t about Islam, this isn’t about the mosque he attends.”

    Yet Saipov had a massive amount of Islamic State material on his phone, and a note in his attack truck that said, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet.” Clearly he thinks his attack was about Islam, even if Miller doesn’t.

    And the NYPD suspected Saipov’s mosque of terror ties over a decade before his massacre. How, then, can Miller be sure that his mosque had nothing to do with the attack?

    He can’t, of course. Miller is making his claim that the attack has nothing to do with Islam or Saipov’s mosque not on the basis of any evidence, but on the basis of fear.

    Apparently the libs can somehow ignore 1400 years of history. For the rest of us 1400 years establishes a pattern of behavior. We need a modern day Charles Martel to save Western Civilization.

    If history and the present don't match their agenda, they aren't afraid to change it. Altered history is great for certain groups.
