It annoys me how the media isn't branding this as a terrorist attack. If the man was olive skinned he'd be branded a Muslim Extremist, whether or not he actively practices the faith. SMH.

While negative assumptions would probably be brought for a ME attacker, it's still not correct to automatically label it terrorism.

 

By Nevada's laws, it is terrorism. By a regular definition however, it's simply an awful (and massive) attack.

The guy was probably just crazy. Though, they're right that not everything is adding up. ISIS definitely did not do it. They proved they're a much weaker group than people and the media think they are yesterday.

I had a theory that whenever anything bad happens that ISIS would claim it because a. they knew the person was solo and could not refute themselves after death b. claiming this makes their scope look much larger than it actually is.

Lo and behold, that's what happened yesterday. A guy who definitely was not part of ISIS was claimed by them. Which also vastly weakens the claim of their attacks in Europe, imo. The people in Europe are just wannabe ISIS for attention.

I've been believing that for quite some time, but people have always called me an 'apologetic supporter'

 

ISIS wants power. Why can't people understand they gain strength through attention?
