Las Vegas: US officials discount ISIS’s claim of responsibility, say shooter had psychological problems

Oct 2, 2017 11:16 am By Robert Spencer

More of the global outbreak of mental illness?

In any case, this would be easier to take seriously were it not for the fact that officials so often ascribe what are obviously jihad attacks to mental illness. This man planned his attack carefully over a long period of time. If he was mentally ill, he was high-functioning.

“US Officials: No evidence Las Vegas shooter tied to militant group,” Reuters, October 2, 2017:

WASHINGTON, Oct 2 (Reuters) – Two senior US officials said on Monday that there was no evidence that the shooter who killed at least 50 people in Las Vegas was tied to any international militant group.

Islamic State issued a statement through its news agency Amaq claiming responsibility for the shooting, saying that the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.

But one of the two US officials discounted Islamic State’s claim of responsibility and said there was reason to believe that the shooter, whom police identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, had a history of psychological problems.

    So they do not discount the claim he was a new Muslim convert.

    • DrSique says

      IMHO, mental health issues could NOT possibly discount the possible conversion to Islam. For a “religion of peace”, the Islamic ideology sure does seem to attract a lot of psycho killers. Not only are the devout, and the recently converted, willing to take the lives of innocents, they obviously take great pleasure in the suffering of others. Sure makes a great case that Mohammed was a false prophet and that Allah may very well be “the accuser.”

    One would think a claim of responsibility by a major terrorist organization would be considered important evidence as to the motivation of the shooter. Right?

    Unless these officials have some evidence of their own to contradict the ISIS claim outright, the claim of responsibility is ample evidence in itself.

    • Ted Tyler says

      Oct 3, 2017 at 1:37 pm

      Geraje, I suspect that ISIS would claim responsibility whether they had anything to do with it or not. They would want to send the following message to young, devout radical Muslims:
      “Do you see now the damage that can be so easily inflicted on the American dogs? Do not, my brothers, allow yourselves to be outdone by a 64 year old man.”

    It is time to forbid Islam in the West or test each and every new Muslim convert their psychological well being. They are all appear to be psychologically drained. So they go on killing innocent bystanders. The only statement that comes out of FBI is he/she had a psychological problem.

    I am very surprised that he was allowed to have the gun license if he was known to have psychological problems.

    We now have THREE fairly big pieces of evidence that this is a jihad attack:

    1. Islamic State called for an attack on this strip in May.

    2. Islamic State claims that he is a Muslim and made the attack in the name of Islam.

    3. The authorities are pointing out that he has a history of psychological problems or mental illness.

    • gravenimage says

      Of course, lots of people go through divorces, and while it is not as common, having a suit against a casino is hardly unprecedented.

      How many people in this position then go out and slaughter over fifty people?

        Don’t know the specifics.

    • Guy Forester says

      Oct 2, 2017 at 5:55 pm

      The usual response has been to rob the casino, shoot up the casino, shoot up the court, or find a way to off the offending spouse. While it is not impossible that the above two did push him over the edges, they are not mutually exclusive to him becoming muslim. In fact, some life crises push people into an extreme form of religion as well as push them out.

      While I am at it, people with personality disorders can be very dangerous to others (psychopath or sociopath) yet not be truly psychotic. Those with personality disorders can be very organized and can manage many aspects of their life quite well. They just happen to have no regard for the welfare or feelings of others.

    • Joe says

      Oct 2, 2017 at 6:03 pm

      It doesn’t look like an act of despondency. The attack was very well planned. From the sound of the gun fire, it sounds like a 50 cal machine gun (I’m not formally trained on that sort of thing). If it was, where would he get a gun like that? Someone who is down on the world, isn’t going to get into arms smuggling to come up with that type of gun.

    By making these quick claims as Obama did with Major Nidal the Government is disarming, taking away the sharpness of the public. Next they’ll play the no guns theme.
    Maybe if they’d start following Israel’s example in this area they’ll stop looking stupid! Are all these converts to Islam nuts? Why is mental illness in Islam so prevalent by what appears to be the government. They’re creating the insane image in the public’s vision not the majority of terrorist incidents here and abroad in the name of Islam.

      ‘She had nothing whatsoever to do with’ the incident, and they are telling us with absolute certainty that Paddock had no connection whatsoever to any terrorist entities.

    • b.a. freeman says

      Oct 2, 2017 at 5:52 pm

      “What were the steps missed or taken that allowed this?” that’s easy: if U ignore the cause of a problem, the problem will only get worse. the fools and traitors in the federal government have been ignoring islam as a cause of terror attacks, so they have done nothing to stop the attackers, who are getting bolder by the day and successfully mounting horrid, monstrous mass murder attacks. if they only took a look at islam, they would instantly know the answer, but they are either fools who, like me, were not educated to fear the evil of islam, or traitors who know that it is vile, and *want* pious muslims to attack innocents to destabilize society so that they can seize control of the government.

      things do not look good for civilization; the dark ages this time will be far worse than when islam toppled the eastern roman empire.

    “No evidence.” Will there be EVER any evidence they would admit as valid evidence, evidence which would utterly destroy their narrative and the world-view? It is madness.

  25. billybob says

    Oct 2, 2017 at 1:47 pm

    As I write, I am watching the latest news conference from the officials in Las Vegas. A representative of the FBI just spoke, stating emphatically “There is NO evidence of any connection with international terrorism”. He repeated that same phase and that was all he had to say. However, what we are all waiting to know is the motive, and he didn’t address that. Particularly, was he a recent convert to Islam? Seems to me his answer was deliberate misdirection. By now, they should know if any Islamic books or literature was found in his house, yet they make no mention. Later, when questioned by the press, the sheriff stated he couldn’t speculate on motive, saying he couldn’t speculate on the motives of a crazy person. If I was there, I would ask if a quaran was found either on the scene or in his house.

    • Chand says

      Oct 4, 2017 at 6:08 am

      Billybob says: “If I was there, I would ask if a quaran was found either on the scene or in his house.”

      Sure. And the authorities would definitely not try to hide that fact. It would be better for them to declare this as an act of Islamic terrorism and get on with the case right instead of being in the dark themselves.
      So I don’t think that there is any evidence that he was Muslim/converted Muslim or that he kept a Koran in the house (although the Koran isn’t banned anywhere yet).
      I think it is equally frustrating for the authorities to be in the dark about Paddock’s motives as the general public.

      My personal guess is that he was a psychopath who wanted to get high on mass murder before leaving this planet as he was unhappy and miserable, even with all his wealth and racy lifestyle.

    It truly pisses me off how the media and authorities do all they can to keep Islam or Muslims out of the news whenever these attacks happen. SkyNews is stating that this isn’t being treated as a terrorist attack. Just another white gun nut. And how they would love to add “Christian extremist” into the mix.

    One possibility might be that she was raised as a Muslim, and recently “found religion” again, and then she got him interested in Islam. Convenient that she was out of the country when it happned. And I wonder why they are not saying where she is.

    Are their security cameras with pictures of him, and is he with anyone?

    How did he construct two shooting platforms in his rooms, and store his 10 guns and ammo there, over a few days, without room service or anyone else noticing?

    How did he pay for the rooms (not cheap). How did he pay for the guns (not cheap).

    Did he deliberately book the rooms ahead of time knowing of the concert? How long ago was this planned?

    Who were the women who tried to warn the concert goers? How long beforehand did she know about it? Did she take her info to the police?

    Was there inside help from the casino staff?

    I’d like to know more about the girlfriend and whether she’s a Muslim. Some people commenters think she’s from Indonesian. Others think she might be from Malaysia. I won’t believe her if she claims she didn’t know her boyfriend was going to shoot the place up, because she was apparently escorted out of the concert after telling some members of the audience “You’re going to die tonight.” Whether that was a last-moment prick of conscience or simple taunting (maybe a mixture of both), she knew what her man was planning.

    • gravenimage says

        So this woman wasn’t Danley? The witness thought the woman was Hispanic, but eyewitnesses have often been mistaken about race.

        Now I don’t know if the “Hispanic” woman was involved or if she was just a random nut case.

          Oct 3, 2017 at 7:58 am

          Another thought is that the woman at the concert was a hotel employee who suspected something? If she was a housekeeper or another low-level staff member, and reported the suspicious activities to her employers, they probably would have laughed at her, or threatened to fire her, and told her to be quiet and get back to work. This is purely speculation, of course.

          Agreed, gravenimage. Rod’s “problem” is one of two possibilities: 1) Islam; or 2) Leftism.

          Sometimes, you know, it’s difficult to distinguish between these two possibilities, actually better named culprits, because they too are tied at a metaphorical hip, a malevolent one instead of the sapient one I previously mentioned.

          “2nd Amendment (hint: it’s not there to protect hunting rights first and foremost but to protect citizens from a too intrusive government)”

          But sadly, it’s not there to protect the innocent citizens of Las Vegas. Or Orlando. Or wherever a gun crazy lover of the 2nd Amendment decides to strike next. Maybe in your town. But I can be quite sure it won’t be in mine. Could that be “Rod’s problem”?

          Constitutional rights don’t come without risks, rod. It would be naive to think they would or should.

          Thanks Wellington. i take it that Mr Paddock was exercising his “Constitutional right”. And that you’re happy with such a “risk”.

          You might like to think about this – In my backwater we don’t have a 2nd Amendment; we don’t have to run such “risks”; Mr Paddock would not have, and never will have such “Constitutional rights”; we don’t have more guns than people; and nobody, nobody, ever kills dozen of his fellow citizens for fun.

          Of course we are a bit primitive. We haven’t reached the high level of civilisation that we can see in the USA, We’re so stupid that we don’t even realise how backward we are.

          Your screed, rod, is rooted in ignorance, puerile sentiments and just plain stupidity.

          Try to grasp this if you will: What made America great above all other reasons is freedom. This includes the freedom to own guns. And, btw, look at countries like France where gun control is extreme but bad guys still can get guns easily while good guys can’t. Hey, we outlawed lots of kinds of drugs. Gee, don’t see them anywhere, now do we? And what about knife control? Rental van control?

          Gettin’ my drift? BTW, I am an American and have stated it many times. Where are you from, rod? Of are you too cowardly to say?

          Getting your drift, Wellington? Well, actually no, I’m not. Freedom? Wow! Can you believe that other people know about freedom? Perhaps not. Including freedom from mindless violence and freedom from the fear it brings with it. You didn’t invent freedom. You don’t have a monopoly. And BTW your version, (apparently one dependent on firearms), doesn’t look very appealing. In fact it looks disgusting. Where am I from? If it helps to think I’m a coward, feel free.

      Note that rod is not just going on about the Second Amendment–something on which people of good will can have disagreements.

      He is also claiming that Americans kill large numbers of Muslims–hence implying that we deserve to be mass slaughtered by Muslims–and, in fact, that he hopes millions more of us will be.

      I find that the ugliest and most false part of his repulsive original post.

        Noted, gravenimage. Rather like the so-called Palestinians who will not let Israel live in peace and so when Israel retaliates against Muslim barbarians (excuse the redundancy), then it’s Israel’s fault.

        America wouldn’t go after a single Muslim just because they’re Muslim if Mohammedans just let things be. But they don’t. It is not their wont. Their religion instructs them to conquer the world and when non-Muslims fight back, as America has, as has Israel, then it’s pity-party time for Muzzies. Same old same old. As evidenced by the tiresome “rod.”

          True, Wellington.

    All forms of intense Islamic indoctrination lay the foundations for later radicalization for actions against all Ifidels. The sooner everyone in the West realizes this, some positive action may begin to contain Islam as a lethal ideology wherever it is found trying to establish itself.

    You mean the mental idiots with mental ilnness working for the fbi?

    And yet they feel perfectly free to say “he had a history of psychological problems” with straight faces, when everything else points to him being a loner who probably rarely ever even saw a doctor, much less a shrink.
