I wonder who told them to hide that evidence until after the comments period closed.

That's because there are no security cameras in Las Vegas.

Bump fire is not conducive to long range accuracy.

"Based on a true story"

Have the revealed yet how many GSW and how many stampede injuries and deaths?

I disagree with the original posted definition on a couple of points. First, "illegal" is a red herring. Rebellions are illegal, but that doesn't make rebel synonymous with terrorist, despite what those in power want us to think. Second, I agree with others who expand the definition beyond political to include ideological, religious, and similar aims. Third, I think the targets are key to distinguishing terrorism from other types of violence.

For an act to be terrorism, I think the intended victims have to be non-governmental and non-combatant. When the Son's of Liberty targeted the King's tax collectors, I argue that wasn't terrorism. When Washington's forces slaughtered Hessians on Christmas, I argue that wasn't terrorism. When the French Resistance targeted soldiers and agents of Vichy France, I arge that wasn't terrorism.

All that said, I agree we know nothing useful about the LV killer's motivations. If he had an ideological agenda he wasn't very vocal about it. Maybe he was like Charles Whitman. Maybe he was like George Hennard. We'll probably never really know.

The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition," the group's news agency Amaq said in reference to the U.S.-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.

"The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago," Amaq added."


There you go.

I wouldn't trust anything coming out of IS Media relations...

There are two scenarios that make sense.

The first is a terrorist attack. If so, pople can decide for themselves if it's more likely to be ISIS or Amish.

The second? Let's just say this reminds me a lot of the stadium scene in EFAD.
