I await for them to figure out this dude's motive and why target a gay club? It would be interesting revelation.

Orlando club shooter's father: 'We apologize to everyone'
While no one may ever know what was truly going on in the head of the man who shot over 100 people at a gay nightclub in Florida early Sunday, his family says he may have been motivated by pure hate against the LGBT community.

Various law enforcement officials have identified the shooter at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando as Omar Mateen, 29, who was born in New York and lived in Port St. Lucie on Florida's eastern shores.

The attack, which claimed at least 50 lives, is considered the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. While authorities are still investigating what motivated the gunman, the shooting is being considered an act of terrorism.

Mateen, who was carrying a handgun and AR-15-type rifle, died after a SWAT team stormed the club, police said. The shooter, who worked in security, according to the family, had active security officer and firearms licenses, records show.

Records also show he had filed a petition for a name change in 2006 from Omar Mir Seddique to Omar Mir Seddique Mateen.

Because of his name and heritage, there were immediate questions about Mateen's possible ties to Islamic fundamentalism — but his father said it may have been a recent incident involving two men showing each other affection that set the gunman off.

"We were in Downtown Miami, Bayside, people were playing music. And he saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry," Mir Seddique, told NBC News on Sunday. "They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, 'Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that.' And then we were in the men's bathroom and men were kissing each other."

Of course: it had to involve a bathroom, didn't it?

Hmmm...imagine that: a NON-white, NON-Christian fundamentalist, NON-NRA member, NON-Republican mass shooter. I'm sure he MUST be insane, given he doesn't fit any of the "typical" categories.

It looks like another attack in California was thwarted before anyone got hurt.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-gay-pride-la-weapons-20160612-snap-story.html

quote:

Authorities in Santa Monica found possible explosives as well as weapons and ammunition Sunday in the car of a man who told them he was in town for the L.A. Pride festival in West Hollywood, a law enforcement source said.

Early Sunday, Santa Monica police received a call of a suspected prowler near Olympic Boulevard and 11th Street. Patrol officers responded and encountered an individual who told officers he was waiting for a friend. That led officers to inspect the car and find several weapons and a lot of ammunition as well as tannerite, an ingredient that could be used to create a pipe bomb.

"Any man's death diminishes me," John Donne famously wrote.

I heartily agree, being sickened by violence wherever it strikes, whomever it hits.

Still, I'm stunned by how personal the Orlando attack feels. The killer appears to have gone to Pulse specifically to shoot people like me.

That's a lot to get one's head around.

I would never hurt you. I make it feel very personal to protect you.
They are targeting people just like you. Stay safe my friend. God be with you.

ISIS just announced that the attack on the Orlando nightclub was carried out by one of their Islamic fighters.

Omar Saddiqui Mateen, Orlando nightclub terrorist shooter called 911 around the time of the attack to pledge allegiance to ISIS and mentioned the Boston bombers, according to a U.S. official.

The FBI previously investigated Omar Saddiqui Mateen for having ties and/or being a sympathizer to Islamic extremism, according to a law enforcement official and a U.S. official. There were two cases opened on Mateen in the past.

The gay club was targeted because it was a sharia law thing. His father said he saw two guys kissing in public 2 months earlier and was very upset by it.

FYI.
Do not believe everything you read.
I am like Trump, no hands are in my pocket.

I am lower/ middle class America.

Change of subject.
I just watched the most beautiful, amazing, well planned, sweet, humors choreography from China recently.
It was unbelievable how talented, courage, and exceptionally focused and intelligent this patent nation is.
Children are exceptional. Thank you so much for showing us your outstanding culture.

Weird: no rightist asshats screaming about how the shooter must be a moslem jihadist.
They're off their game today...

No but the trolls seem to be present using this tragedy to score points of the other side. Now why don't you go crawl back under your rock at least until they get all the bodies out. Then you can go back to being a dick.

While America continues to indulge it's psychotic addiction to guns, this will continue to happen.

Mind you, this won't change anything. If they won't legislate after the fucking mass murder of children, they're sure as shit not going to legislate when someone attacks "a bunch of queers, goddamit!"

Right wingers are not supposed to say anything about it being a Muslim, but the left is free to take a two day head start with thier anti gun garbage? Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

Too true. Sigh.

What happened to the 72 hour rule so we would know what happened?
Thats right the gun grabbers know exactly what happened so who needs facts?

the tragedy in fla is very sad and there are many who need support in its aftermath my prayers are for the familys of those affected
the 2nd amendment has 2 parts 1 right to keep arms for home defense
and 2 right to bear arms as a prt of a well organized militia
for those that want to carry a gun they can join one of the many recognized groups to do so
as far as having a assault rifle as your carry gun i dont see any reason for it
there is no excuse in using any religion as a reason to cause great harm instead of looking for a reason to point blame and hate lets try to find a way to prevent hate and accept others and their diffrences

The right to bear arms for personal, not just home defense, and the militia is mentioned because a militia of people who know nothing about firearms is useless.

And one more person who seems to think the 72 hour rule only counts for pro 2nd people.
