Shooting at LGBT nightclub in Florida, 20 injured

Post Reply New Topic

there has to be something for the FBI to confirm Islamist leanings so early

I am very curious to see what countries this man has visited and who he has been in contact with online

This has the hallmarks of an organized well planned attack, I have a hard time believing Mateen worked alone. The guy was 29 years old, people knew him.

ISIS has made threats for attacks during Ramadan specifically in Florida, these people seem to do what they say

Nobody believed Hitler either. The more outragous your claims are the less you will be believed no matter how consistant they are. People are particularly cynical today, we truly are in the you are lying until proven otherwise era.

I figured Islamic terrorism, as it's definitely a target due to its Western "immoral" behavior (Islamic radicals hate gay people more than anyone).

Same with the concert in France, as it was a place of "immoral" behavior.

i don't see why they are still allowed to exist.

i admit i was curious when i woke up to my family talking about gay bars.

his leanings probably aren't totally comfirmed yet, but i see how easy it can be for others to make the connection.

Your story reminds me of the morning of 9/11 arriving at the office and bieng confused about why people were talking about streaming video. The company was a computer repair and software modification firm. There was streaming video in 2001 although the only place you could watch it was on a bulky monitor probably 15" with a big back.

Every summer in the US now there's some kind of mass killing. Wish I could say I was surprised.

ISIS was mentioned... time to bring out a Putin who explains exactly how and why ISIS was made...

My heart is aching, so. I've been choking-back tears as I listen to the people who were there, and what went-on, and how they helped people----like, plugging someone's wound with their bandanna.

My condolences to the victims, their families, the LGBT community, residents of surrounding towns, in Fla----and, even the parents / son of the shooter.....

This is from April



Seems to be more of a disturbing coincidence rather than direct connection since Omar Mateen was from 3 hours away in Port St Lucie.

News is saying there is a connection with Islamic State, it seems like this guy received training of some sort and maybe direct instruction. He was previously investigated by the FBI in 2013/2014 but the FBI had to close the case against him after not finding any evidence.

This terrorist murdered 50 people and injured 50 more kept even more people hostage all by himself? Either he's trained and or he had some help.

in this very link "called 911 right before attack and pledged allegience to ISIS""mentioned the Boston Bombers" How much more motive is needed?


What a horrid mess.

Obama's comments on this attack are disgraceful

he's a terrible leader and a terrible president

Bombing at a bank just happened an hour ago in Beirut (Hezbollah is supsect too since local banks were taking actions against their money laundry).

and Isis promised series bombings during Ramadan.

What a summer.

ISIS officially claiming responsibility via it's 'news agency'

gunman called 911 before the attacks pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Bagdhadi

Obama can't even bring himself to say the words, he wants to push gun control despite this guy passing every background test with a special gun permit(that actually ALLOWED him to have a fully automatic weapon) and even FBI investigation.

also the club was a gun free zone that patted people down at the door

Gun grabbers will jump all over this before the last body is cold. Of course I'll throw a 5 down that there won't be mention that these arms he had, he still would have because he was in security enforcement industry.

just figured I should mention this:


This happened 2 months before the shooting.'

edit: someone beat me to it
