WoW is that Arts stalker traveled there?

Juan

It's a group of four hotels and a casino directly across from the airport. Probably lots of foreigners there.

Is it an ISIS attack??

Juan

Resorts World Manila put out a news release saying  it is on lockdown following gunshots fired by "men" an eyewitness says there is a fire.

Could be a robbery.

Juan

Reports of an explosion, possibly from the casino. Swat squads called out.

The Sun reports it's ISIS.  Stay tuned.

Why would ISIS attack there for??

Juan

The Philippine government has been fighting ISIS in the southern islands.

Eyewitnesses report multiple men wearing black and hoods firing rifles.

Did the gunmen tip off the Sun who they were?

Juan

The Sun probably got a back channel anonymous phone call.

muslim terrorists, again?

Color me surprised.

Whelp, let's let more of them into our countries.

Dust off those "Muslim Refugees Welcome" signs!

Score one for the Daily Mail.  The story has yet to break on MSNBC.  They are still waiting for President Trump to speak on the climate accord.

Haha- I thought about that, too. I guess getting 'scooped' on real news doesn't mean much to the MSM these days.

Falkie just reported the attack in Manila. Falkie News Network just reported it.

Erm...Manilla police say it was a lone robber. Now the usual suspects can stop frothing in glee. Its just a mundane crime.  :-\

Presumably Senda will do a retraction of what he said?

I didn't see any news saying the guy wasn't Muslim. Though I doubt it since most of the area is not there is nothing that says Muslims can't also commit other crimes. Though shooting and setting fires to tables might fall under some "anti-terrorist laws" even if the intention was to grab the chips. Also now the police are saying only a lone-gunman, contrary to all the previous reports, which almost always seems to happen in the rush of rumors, news agencies wanting to be 'first,' and confusion during a crisis- unless one wants to go down the more conspiratorial path.

All the more reason to hold fire on a thread opening, all frothed up and in full spleen vent. The irony lost on many is that terrorists are mainly sociopathic narcissists, and crave publicity even when it isn't warranted. The reciprocal of that is innocent people not backing down and being cowed by the cowards. That really fucks with terrorists' heads. This weekend is a benefit concert in Manchester for the victims of the bombing. It sold out in 6 minutes. I personally don't care for any of the artists, but it shows how much ordinary people just get on with it. Fuck the shit stain terrorists.

There are some trained from day one and I would guess that on the higher level in some groups there is "rational" decision-making and planning and financial/political motives. But the foot soldiers, especially the suicide bombers/shooters are mental and basically selfish nihilists. And just have found an excuse in Islam and often specifically targeted and groomed. A lot of the ones we catch by agent provocateur operations often turn out to be near retards or really screwed up. If not Islam I suspect a lot of these losers would find black metal, failed relationships, fired from job, cults, or want fame or any "excuse" to do something like this. Frustrated and often drug-addled crazy, bitter people. The school shooter or family annihilator types. Suicidal but angry and want to take others with them. Unfortunately certain groups have found a way to find and encourage these types of people and they find a "mission" and promise of after-death glory and virgins. Then there are the others, these are, until recently, found in those countries, that have been raised on this stuff and are like a death-cult and want to bring "end time battles" etc.

This is still an odd event.  Police say there are no ties to terrorism because the guy was Caucasian and spoke English.  Some reports say he was a robber, but setting fatal fires then killing himself are not the actions of a robber. 
It will be interesting to see if there is any more news.

The other odd things are he apparently stole poker chips, shot the one armed bandits, and the people hurt got that way dropping from windowns and several women suffocated in the loo. He didn't actually attack anyone.

ISIS is now claiming responsibility through its Amaq News Agency. It says "Islamic State fighters" (plural in original) carried out the attack.
