    New Twist on Vegas Shooting and its not good

    Keep in mind ISIS has claimed responsiblity for Las Vegas. This is all in beginning stages

    Explosive possessed by Stephen Paddock may have been used in NYC bombing


    An explosive compound like the one found in Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock’s car and home is believed to have been used last year in an alleged terrorist bombing in New York City.
    Authorities say they recovered an undisclosed amount of the compound known as Tannerite from Paddock’s home in Mesquite and 50 pounds from his car parked at Mandalay Bay, where he used firearms to mow down concertgoers at the adjacent Route 91 Harvest festival on Sunday.

    Police have not said why the 64-year-old Paddock possessed Tannerite, which is unregulated and legally used by marksmen to create targets that emit a small cloud of smoke when they are struck. Authorities also found ammonium nitrate, another ingredient that can be used to build bombs, in his vehicle at the site of the shooting.
    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives notes that products like Tannerite are binary, meaning they consist of two separate components that are inert when separated. “But when mixed, they are high explosives and should be treated with caution and in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions,” the agency noted in a 2015 safety advisory.

    This lends some credence to ISIL's claims that they turned this guy. Or at least were running him.

    The left will vigorously attack this angle.

    Now if it were Russia suggested to possibly have a role in this, woo hoo - brace yourselves.

    Isn't Mueller looking for a Russia-Paddock-Trump connection?

    All we need is for the FBI to pay a former British intelligence agent to make up some nonsense and leak it to the press...

    There is no mention as to whether Paddock was in NY on or around the date of the bombing.

    The people who gave him the explosives may have been.

    I can buy tannerite down here. But like any explosive, it has earmarks, and each is different.
    I get a couple of pounds for my party for the range shooters. mix 1/4 pound up, hit with any high powered rifle, and poof!!!! nice instant fireworks without the smoke.

    This is really grasping at straws.

    Paddock's possession of tannerite links him to ISIS about as much as anyone's possession of the compound. How many thousands of gun stores sell the product? How many hundreds of thousands of people possess it now?

    This attempt is rather pathetic. If there is actual evidence linking him to ISIS I wouldn't discount it, but this seems like a convoluted attempt to change the narrative. I'm a little surprised at the lack of critical thinking skills here.

    So clearly you're linked to ISIS.
