Trump Supporters Are Promoting Insane Conspiracy Theories About Vegas Shooter.

Which of the following groups does Stephen Paddock, the 64-year-old gunman responsible for the Las Vegas massacre, belong to, according to recent articles promoted by Republican pundits and Trump-affiliates?

a) Antifa

b) Islamic State

c) Illuminati

d) All of the above

If you chose “All of the above,” you’re correct.

The shooting that left 58 dead and hundreds wounded, according to a spate of recent articles promoted widely on Facebook and Twitter, must be the handiwork of a vast lefty-Antifa-Muslim-jihadist-Illuminati conspiracy—and the whole “rancid story,” as the Conservative columnist Wayne Allyn Root recently put it, is being covered up by the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.

Before the police had even identified the shooter, Root, an occasional contributor to Breitbart News who used to open for Donald Trump at his Las Vegas campaign rallies, tweeted to his 110,000 followers that Las Vegas was in the midst of a “coordinated Muslim terror attack.” He soon added, “Just what I’ve warned of. Biggest threat to this country is Islamic terror, not police abuse.”

“This thing was nothing more than a strategically located blood sacrifice ritual.”

They always have to blame something or someone that isn't their precious killing machines. We've seen it time and time again. And no matter what the target, their dialogue in the aftermath would have been exactly the same. Fuck these inhuman monsters.

FBI agent who was doing a arms deal sting with Isis members That's why he had all those guns. However it isn't clear why he started the mass murder. They don't seem to have closed the loop on that one yet, or I somehow missed that part of the theory.
