Orlando nightclub massacre...

[Steven B. Janowski]

Wow...terrible tragedy. Apparently at least 20 killed/45 injured in mass execution. You guys thinking terrorist plot or anti-homosexual agenda? Regardless...condolences to the families of the victims. Its been hard for me to consider starting a family with the regularity of such events. This world seems to be in a dark place. God bless...

 

[padtigers]

Prayers to the families and friends.

Sad event and scary

You knew it was only a matter of time before this turned political...

Was this an islamic attack or a so called depressed idiot upset over Bernie losing the nomination.

Being investigated as a terrorist plot, domestic or international... Shooter allegedly with Islamic leanings... Source USA Today...


FBI Special Agent Ronald Hopper said the case was being investigated as a possible act of terrorism, either domestic or international. It was not clear if the shooter acted alone, he said. He said they were trying to determine if there was a connection with radical Islam.

"We do have suggestions that the individual may have leanings toward that particular ideology," Hopper said.

Looks like it was both terrorism and anti-homosexual (considering the radical Muslim news)

 

[WarpedMind]

Too many of these shooting tragedies are becoming routine in our society. Crazy people and crazy times.

@cuphilly_10 it's really sickening. prayers to all family members and loved one's involved.

I honestly can't imagine wanting to have kids in this society. It's almost selfish.

Actually most libs will blame the guns and fine outstanding folks like yourself will correct them and say if everyone in bars had a gun the world would be safer. Besides, this guy could have just over powered them all with a knife anyways. amirite?

Oh, your religion is just as made up as the others. Don't forget to thank the magical sky wizard before you have dinner today

Lefties will sceam about guns and bigotry.
Rightists will scream about terrorism.

And the beat will go on and on.....

Correct, but why is it so hard for the left to say "Islamic terrorism"? A pressure cooker bomb could have been used vs a gun. The tool is not the problem.

I have no problem with your view on religion in general, but no other religion that I'm aware of has a radical aspect that focuses specifically on terror/murder. I would think that's where most people have an issue..not whether who's God is right.

It's self explanatory and true-

Easy. "Islamic Terrorism" is not politically correct.

I obviously am missing what he is saying. Since you seem to know I would love for you to enlighten me. That is all I asked.

The poster you quoted didn't mention his religion. You're angry.

 

[robert.n]

Wow this thread went from 0 to fvck you pretty quickly. Thoughts and prayers with the victims and their families.

How do you know he isn't atheist?

You're really going to play that game? Just so that you can get some right-wing response that you can then pounce on?

 

[The Mixed Mamba]

Par for the course...

 

[ClemsonGentleman]

And the shooter is allegedly IDed as Omar Sadechi (sp?) Mateen. Mateen is U.S. citizen from Port Saint Lucie, FL. His parents are from Afghanistan. He was born 1986.

 

[GilaMonsta]

Man I hate politics. You left and right wing homers make everthing such a shit storm.


Such a sad event last night

 

[michael1981]

I promise I will not reply. I am just curious what he and you mean. I am a bit older than most people on this board and do not engage in nasty banter. If you can't say then that is OK too.

And apparently did not have a criminal record and was not on a terrorism watch list

Correction, apparently he was investigated at one time

 

[CLT-Tiger]

And apparently did not have a criminal record and was not on a terrorism watch list

That's surprising as the FBI said that he had some previous connection to terrorism or more so terroristic type threats. I would have thought that would be enough to get him on the list.

Could be incorrect, I got that info from a BBC report. It's still early, so I'm sure all the details will come out soon

 

[Every name taken]

Or instead of a gun he could have just used a home made bomb.
We know non of these psychopaths would strap a bomb to there ass though right?
You keep your knife rhetoric and I'll keep my gun pussy

what's a gun pussy? Or did you mean to put a comma in there somewhere?

 

[IcelandTiger]

CNN just updated to 50 dead and 53 injured, unbelieveable

 

[amynhop]

Wow this thread went from 0 to fvck you pretty quickly. Thoughts and prayers with the victims and their families.

Just because politics are mentioned, it doesn't mean that there is no sympathy for the INNOCENT victims in ANOTHER senseless massacre. I am sickened and disgusted by any tragic loss of life! Prayers for all families and loved ones involved!

I think you're insulting your own intelligence if you can't figure that out on your own

I recognize that. I'm just of the school of thought that we should wait for the bodies to be counted before grandstanding.

 

[blizzard]

50 dead. Unbelievable

 

[RoyalBengal25]

50 people & 53 injured...all of who won't probably make it. Don't even know what to say....just unreal.

Yea, those prayers really help and heal, don't they? I'm sure Facebook is littered with "pray for Orlando" bs.

You and I have a different definition of grandstanding
