ISIS doubles down on anti Trump Vegas shooter

Message from ISIS

The Islamic State media agency known as Amaq has claimed the Las Vegas shooting on Saturday night was their handiwork carried out by Stephen Paddock, a recent convert to Islam going by his new Muslim name: Abu Abd Abdulbar al-Ameriki. He was probably given that name as a test--if he could spell and pronounce it, he was serious about the religion.

Paddock in pussy hat

But we don't actually know if what ISIS is claiming is true and like the Orlando nightclub shooting they claimed responsibility for, they haven't provided proof of the ties.

Although there doesn't appear to be a religious connection to Paddock's background, ISIS is doubling down on the claim for the Las Vegas shooting that left at least 59 dead and 527 in hospital.

The terror group is saying that those who say that it "has nothing to do" with the attack will "regret" it. As if those of us who say they were involved will be given free falafel and naan.

Officials don't know much about Paddock but it's quite probable, based on photographic evidence that he was a big Trump hater and even wore a "pussy hat" at the "pussy hat demonstration." It isn't known if he met Madonna there at the anti-Trump protest in Reno, Nevada this past August.

We also know Paddock was a former employee of Lockheed Martin, a company with exclusive contracts with NASA.

The Islamic State issued a formal communique claiming credit for the shooting, identifying Paddock as "Abu Abdul Barr al-Amriki" and claimed he heeded the response of head scum crumpet Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to attack coalition countries.

It seems a little far fetched, but hey, you never know.

ISIS provided an unverifiable (thus far) narrative that Paddock responded to Baghdadi's incitements, and did "precise" surveillance on the concert venue.

But hey, you never know.

More to follow as information becomes available.

Pray for the victims and families.
