A gunman fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, in a brutal attack that is blamed for at least 58 deaths, police say. In the mass shooting and panic that ensued, 515 people were injured. At least one of the dead is an off-duty police officer who was attending the concert.
Editorializing: Interesting how media always emphasize ISLAMIC terrorists, but downplay domestic terrorism as psychologically disturbed individual lone-wolfs.

They can claim anything they want, but it will only hurt their recruiting reputation when it is shown that this old white dude had nothing to do with ISIS or Islam. But what does ISIS really have to lose? They can also claim that the American government is lying about this shooter's true motives in order to harm ISIS.
The suckers that ISIS recruits already have one foot into the mindset required to become a terrorist; they're looking for a nudge or tipping point to convince them to join.
