He did this because his son witnessed two gays kissing, and was insulted because his son was exposed to it. Looks like he didn’t care that his son will now be exposed to the fact that his father is now the biggest mass murderer in history.
I meant mass shooter in American History
He was being compliant with Sharia Law. Why do we put up with Islamic terrorists in this country?
Would you feel better if he was a Liberty University graduate?
I know there are lots of people who would celebrate.
This guy is allowed to speak at Universities. (University of Michigan 2013).
Gays Must Die Says Speaker At Orlando Mosque WFTV 9 Orlando Report
The Husseini Islamic Center, 5211 Hester Ave, Sanford, FL 32773, invited Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar to speak at their Mosque. Dr. Sekaleshfar says the killing of homosexuals is the compassionate thing to do.
In a 2013 speech Sheikh Sekaleshfar said this regarding gays, “Death is the sentence. We know there’s nothing to be embarrassed about this, death is the sentence…We have to have that compassion for people, with homosexuals, it’s the same, out of compassion, let’s get rid of them now.”

Like islam has the corner on crazy.

Yes, Izlam has the baddest corner of worship. L Roners are nuts, but who is using AR’s to mow down HUMANS trying to have some fun, down time.
Our merican feet are dug deep into the MENA sand, the greatest insult to iZlam is being felt here on American soil.
So, it was an act of compassion.
OK, then.
Asswipe Trumper.
Gays are generally compatible with Muslims, because in both cases, women are just for breeding.
So many people don’t know about man-love Thursday in the Middle East.
That is the reverse. Taliban came to power by stomping out the pedophiles.
Also ridding the fields of poppies, till the US invaded Afghanistan.
It is hard to take the government seriously these days.
They break so many constitutional rights with spying this shouldn’t be possible, right?
I’m slightly surprised Obama called this terrorism and not workplace violence or something.
Doesn’t mention Islam but calls for gun control.
Not true. Obama: “this was an act of terror and an act of hate.”
See the difference?
This is all about the Hateful component of the Muslim Religion, the availability of guns in America, and the lack of social safety net services.
I could only repeat myself from here on out.
Lack of social safety net leads to terrorism. Good think Hamas is building hospitals!
No NFS….USA needs better use of social counselors/mental health facilities so that we can avoid doing NOTHING until the cops show up.
Just look.
And what would you propose doing? ACLU shut all that down decades ago.
OK, so you weren’t talking like Senator Patty Murray who declared that Bin Laden was doing all sorts of social services and we weren’t.
You can also avoid doing nothing by having a gun to protect yourself. I thought all bartenders keep shotguns behind the counter?
The “shooter” hated gays, saw two kissing and shot up 100 people. That’s a lot of mag unloading and reloading. Gay men have no problem with fighting, how was it that the “shooter” wasn’t jumped.
bobbo, no social or mental health net would have caught this fish.
A purchase of the weapons show to the public should have popped a red flag at the FBI, the subject was associated with a know bomber. The Feds should have been at his door that next day, terror suspect buys 5.56 AR and 9mil hand gun.
Anti gun nuts are barking up the wrong tree. He worked for DHS contractor you dummies.
Similar terror attacks in London and Paris with knives and hatchets resulted in single digit deaths.
Guns, semi-automatics, with large clips==>make a difference.
Deal with reality.
In Paris they had RPGs.
I always wonder about Jealousy of Gay bashing..
REALLY..What do you gain?
Even the bible asks…
Judge least ye be Judged..
what do you gain or LOOSE, from abusing another person? if they are NOT HARMING YOU..
TEMPTATION is part of our WHOLE LIFE..
Why did they have to report who the shooter was so quickly? I wanted to see liberals turn this into another TrayVon Martin and tell us how the bad guy is a rich white conservative, and this means we need to ban guns.
The weekend reporters are substitutes and not well-trained.
If you work the weekends, you aren’t the A-Team, your B-Team.
If it happened during the week, they would cover up the name and religion for as long as absolutely possible like San Bernadino.
These folks don’t give a shit about human life. They need to be reeducated.
Why is he so against gays when he himself is an admitted bisexual that has also been charged with bestiality with goats?
He isn’t against or for anything any more.
He is probably enjoying his 72 raisins.
http://newsmax.com/Newsfront/irshad-manji-koran-virgins-mistranslated/2016/05/24/id/730516/
Oh… Never mind.
Wonder how many of the victims were killed by the cops in the multiple shootouts they had with the shooter? Why did they decide to give him three hours before doing anything?
So will George report
“This week, bullets flew in the streets of Orlando; gays combative as ever….
George Stuffagupolis will report whatever Hillary the Bitch wants him to report if that is the George to which you are referring.
That’s how he reported the riots against Trump.
… And let the moronic gun debates once again begin.
That said, this is no different than another airliner full of people falling out of the sky for whatever reason. The only difference is HOW anyone died.
Preventable?
If you say, yes. Ask yourself, HOW?! What are you giving up in order to stay safe in a naturally unsafe world? Because personally, I can only wonder if anyone’s life — or possibly EVERYONE’S life — in that Orlando club could have been saved if the right person had a gun of his/her own and was able to take that crazy asshole out (as in shoot him) before he was able to lift his weapon or pull a trigger.
Remember: When you outlaw guns, only the OUTLAWS will have the guns.
Ask yourself this, how many time did he eject mags to reload? Thirty rounds a mag. At least 100 rounds fired, more like 200 for 49 dead and 50 wounded.
More than that. At intervals he would walk among the injured and inert on the floor and finish them off with 2-3-4 more shots.
Human nature: only if you KNEW what the guy was going to do would you rush a guy armed with a semi-auto….only hoping 20 other guys would do the same?
……………..but hoomans have a rough estimate of odds and flight scores over fight for the majority of us.
Gun Nuts vs Nuts with Guns. Takes…..both.
Not once has one of my advisers said man if we just use that phrase….
Are you kidding me. What a worthless president. Jimmie has got to get up everyday and thank some supreme being that his isn’t the worst president in history any more.
First thing they blame is assault weapons when the shithead didn’t use nor did he even have an assault weapon, he just had a rifle like millions of other gun owners. Learn the difference shit for brains.
Remember, this isn’t the worst mass shooting in the history of the U.S.. Look up Wounded Knee. But it’s okay when the government does the shooting.
No, he had a semi-automatic AR style pistol grip ASSAULT rifle with 30 round mags. That is not a plain Rifle. It’s a morons tactical human killing weapon to add all sorts of strobe flashlights and laser sights on the rails. Ooow, exciting.
I got no problem with the weapon, because you can buy a Ruger Mini-14 rifle same caliber 5.56mm.

You blame this on the man and the ideology that set him on this path, period. He was a self hating gay Muslim, the tool he used does not matter.
Got it?
Of course the tool matters.
Have you ever used a tool?
Tool.
You’re deflecting.
Do you think maybe he should have been vetted a little bit better before he was given a service pistol and allowed to guard a courthouse?
What part does political correctness play in the fact that he was known to make threats, cheered 9/11, and still worked for the DHS as a contractor.
Your government has failed you. Blame it on that.
Tommy===the failure of background checks has ZERO to do with how to kill the most people.
Deflecting to the Max Degree……because on second thought…..while you demonstrate you are still a tool, you do recognize that tools are purpose built for different purposes. Did you have to google that point?
Har…you’re never going to get your way with gun control, so just give it up.
Why do you waste your time with this?
Because the Mods are science denying anti global warming Luddites and coin collecting has no interest for me.
Ah yes, but how do the Rockers feel?
Hey Tommy, NO I don’t got it.
First off, Tommy, you were not there to witness what really transpired, nor was I.
Assault may be the wrong label, Assault rifles typically have a fire selector. Semi-auto AR’s legal in America will do more damage to soft tissue then their military counterpart. Fragmentation cartridges are NOT allowed on the battlefield, but Okey Dokey for our tree lined streets. Joy and happiness to all.
“The Hague Convention of 1899, Declaration III, prohibited the use in international warfare of bullets that easily expand or flatten in the body.[3] This is often incorrectly believed to be prohibited in the Geneva Conventions, but it significantly predates those conventions, and is in fact a continuance of the St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868, which banned exploding projectiles of less than 400 grams, as well as weapons designed to aggravate injured soldiers or make their death inevitable. NATO members do not use small arms ammunition that are prohibited by the Hague Convention and the United Nations.[citation needed]
Despite the ban on military use, hollow-point bullets are one of the most common types of bullets used by civilians and police,[4] which is due largely to the reduced risk of bystanders being hit by over-penetrating or ricocheted bullets, and the increased speed of incapacitation.”

You do know that he had to reload at least 4 times and at no time did anyone try to stop him.
An assault rifle is fully automatic. The term is used by hoplophobic morons who blame an inanimate object for something it can’t do. In case you don’t get that means the gun cannot just jump up and run into a crowded theater or bar and start shooting people.

Neither can someone without a gun.
Not too hard to figure out diesel.
More Deflection. Evidently the new term for Red Herring or being incredibly gullible.
Hey Mods: delete my post just above, it was meant for Horst, posted again to him.
PEDRO!!!!!! The very first time I ….((no, its the second time…first time was your go around regarding ct scanners)) have seen you make any effort at all to make a cogent post.
OR…..was it a random flip through your new Word A Day Calendar?
On a level of subtlety you will neve appreciate, you are in the family of words you intend, but the actual word that best fits would be “paroxysmistic.”
Of course…depending on what you actually mean to say which is always a mystery unless one accepts “nothing.”
So close…..but keep turning those pages.
Hey Mods: that was the first time I’ve seen you do that.
Thank you.
…….and I should have said: “Please.”
I think it will make the thread flow more sensibly.
Now, Could you please delete every Post from Pedro that uses more than 2 polysyllabic words? We don’t want the boy hurting his brain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Assault rifle has a fire selector. Buy the way the real men in military forces are told to select single fire for accuracy.
But, you are totally wrong about the semi fire.

This is the guy who previously said “Free at Last- Just words? We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal- Just words?…”
FBI monitor right wing Christian Patriot groups:
Liberals: No Problem
FBI monitors Mormon groups that practice polygamy:
Liberal: No problem
FBI monitors KKK groups while meeting in church:
Liberal: No Problem
DOJ orders the massacre of Men, Women and Children in Waco Texas Church compound.
Liberal: No Problem
FBI monitors Islamic Center after talk of jihad.
Liberal: Hey that’s RACIST.
Makes me smile…………as the actual argument does go both ways.
I actually do buy into the point you make though….with the quibble that xenophobia always needs to be guarded against…… not to the point of self injury such as not monitoring suspected organizations preaching hate: regardless of the particular fantasies involved.
“RACIST”…it’s a religion not a race of people. But, yes monitor the places where a bad apple was grown.
The whole gun issue is out of hand. Let’s talk about Why. Why. Why.
Fucking answer me, Why.
Drones?
Meddling in Arab elections?
Trying to create democracy in the sand?
Finding Bin laden?
Rublization of much of the Levant, except for Israel?
Air base too close to Mecca?
Any other reasons besides they hate us for our freedom and hate gays would be welcome. Why?
Nice rant Jp. but consider, “we” (the USA) are almost merely collateral damage to the Jihad ISIS is in the middle of. I see ISIS as no different than Trump emerging from the Republican Party. Preach stupidity long enough and you will get such movements.
In Fact: what you list would be reasons for you and me to take up arms…..but is irrelevant to ISIS.
Amusing?
Yeah, the Trump phenomenon has been in the slow cooker for a while. The derisive and divisive words from his mouth makes the frightened angry citizens feel at home and safe. Sad, very sad.
