    Moderator's Note:

    The Original Poster discovered that the linked story was on a fake news site and admitted that the story was bogus on post No. 10. This thread was not locked because it is instructive in how we receive our news and it was a classy move by the original poster to admit he fell for it. - Lee S


    Wow, what a development. Campos helped smuggle in the weapons.

    That flushing sound is the NRA Gun Culture of Death kneejerk excuse of a "crazy lone wolf" going down the toilet.

    With more than one person involved now the motivation can be clarified.

    This is some real big news if true. This also doesn't mean anything in regards to the 2nd Amendment and needed changes. Although, I am good with the "Bump Stock" going away, but that can be done better with a rubber band.

    According to a senior FBI official, authorities became suspicions by the extreme amount of gunpowder residue found on Campos’ hands and inconsistencies in his timeline of events. “We believe he killed Paddock, shot holes through the door and his own arm to produce physical evidence for his cover story, then went and lay next to the elevator,” the FBI official told CNN.

    An anonymous source working on the investigation told CNN that authorities are now in possession of security footage showing Campos smuggling the firearms used in the massacre in through a Mandalay Bay loading dock in the days leading up to the event.

    With the arrest of Compos Police now hope to get a greater understanding of the motivations behind the attack.

    And we now know easily WW III starts.

    PS. Easy way to check stories like this - flip on the TV. If it's not headlines on every channel, it's suspect.

    The story doesn't make much sense, but how could you tell it was a fake site?

    Just Google it.

    The URL was only registered a few days ago and it is already flagged as a Fake News site.

    I did an internet query search for Jose Campos arrested to no avail. I will wait until tomorrow or Saturday to hear from Sheriff Joe.

    There is no actual difference between Catsup and Ketchup other than the spelling.

    Or we can turn it into a discussion of fake news. It could be a good teaching opportunity.

    Jesus Campos was not arrested, and neither was "Jesus Compos" as he is mistakenly refered to in a fake article titled "Police Arrest Mandalay Security Guard Jesus Compos As Second Shooter In Las Vegas Massacre" which was posted by a site named cnn-internationaledition.com and which opened:

    (CNN) Breaking News - Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Compos has been arrested accused of being an accomplice and second shooter in the Las Vegas massacre that claimed the lives of 59 people and injured more than 500.

    Jesus Campos had originally been praised for his apparent heroics on October 1st, as he supposedly rushed to Paddock's suite, was shot in the upper thigh through the door, and continued to help get people to safety despite his wounds. However, FBI officials involved in the investigation now believe he was an accomplice of Paddock's, and was involved in the initial shooting as a second gunman from the other broken window in Paddock's 32nd-floor room. (archived copy of article)

    The website cnn-international.com was only registered two days ago according to WHOIS records and has nothing to do with the real cnn.com:

    DOMAIN INFORMATION
    Domain:cnn-internationaledition.com
    Registrar:GoDaddy.com, LLC
    Registration Date:2017-10-10
    Expiration Date:2018-10-10
    Updated Date:2017-10-10

    [​IMG]

    Meanwhile the real CNN has reported that Campos was actually shot in the leg by the Mandalay Bay shooter and called in a warning to hotel security. No report has been made about his supposed arrest by any official source or mainstream news source.

    The fake CNN site is part of a network of sites designed to look like local news outlets but which actually create and spread fake news, including:

    • jacksontelegraph.com
    • sundayinquirer.com
    • sundaypost.org
    • vancouverinquirer.com
    Earlier the network also ran www.cnn-globalnews.com (now defunct) which was used to peddle a Clint Eastwood death hoax. Typically these sites try to keep the fake stories off their front pages in order to mislead casual visitors. Usually they are filled with regular news stories copied from other websites. Don't fall for this hoax and warn people you see spreading it on Facebook or other social media.

    Updates:
    2 hours ago Fake news website Freedom Daily joins the fun, with an article titled "BREAKING: Second Shooter In Vegas Massacre Just ARRESTED - Look Who It Is" which uses the fake cnn-internationaledition.com site as a source.
