June 12, 201610 yr You are unequivocally an enormous piece of shit. Think he was just being sarcastic man.
June 12, 201610 yr This has nothing to do with Islam. I sometimes wish that the 2b Muslims on this planet were actually as bad as these xenophobic idiots thought they were. I don't know. But I can say one thing. We've seen columbine France and church shootIngs. This too shall blow over. Its just the way it is. The majority of people in this country don't care. Hate to say it. By Tuesday we will all be back to square one.
June 12, 201610 yr you actually knew some of these people killed? if so, sorry. Luckily, I don't know anyone who died. But I know people who fled. Friends of friends I've seen either currently missing or in the hospital.
June 12, 201610 yr Luckily, I don't know anyone who died. But I know people who fled. Friends of friends I've seen either currently missing or in the hospital. oh, okay.
June 12, 201610 yr Where are the Christian terrorists? I agree with everything else you said in your post. And why was this guy homophobic? Robert Dear was a Christian terrorist really in this attacks against Planned Parenthood last year. Mentally unstable, but thats the case for many mass murderers. The Sikh Temple massacre from I think 2012 or 2013 was perpetuated by Christian terrorists. And of course lets not forget McVeigh, who attacked the government largely cause he was pissed at how the government handled things with Korseh a few years prior to that.
June 12, 201610 yr This has nothing to do with Islam. I sometimes wish that the 2b Muslims on this planet were actually as bad as these xenophobic idiots thought they were. This shooting , fueled by the shooter's hatred for gays, has nothing to do with Islam? How can you even say that?
June 12, 201610 yr This has nothing to do with Islam. I sometimes wish that the 2b Muslims on this planet were actually as bad as these xenophobic idiots thought they were. I highly doubt this has nothing to do with Islam.
June 12, 201610 yr Author I wonder if this guy was just a nut who decided he was going to do this so last-minute pledged to ISIL or whatever. His ex-wife says he was abusive and an asshole but that he wasn’t particularly religious and showed no indication of subscribing to radical Islamism. And she'd have every reason to pin him if he was. “He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that,” the ex-wife, who was granted anonymity. But said he wasn't particularly religious. “He seemed like a normal human being,” she said.
June 12, 201610 yr Except that it isn't normal human behavior to beat your wife over the laundry. He should have been killed over that alone.
June 12, 201610 yr Author I'm sure he obtained the gun legally. It's not like its that difficult to do so. so yeah In the past two weeks Mateen legally purchased a Glock pistol and a long gun, ATF Assistant Special Agent in Charge Trevor Velinor told reporters. "He is not a prohibited person. They can legally walk into a gun dealership and acquire and purchase firearms. He did so. And he did so within the last week or so," Velinor said.
June 12, 201610 yr I understand the concept of being able to own a gun to protect yourself. In theory that sounds good to me. But you absolutely cannot know that everyone who legally purchases a gun is doing so for self defense. I don't know what the solution is there if any as I'm more thinking out loud but fuck.
June 12, 201610 yr Nothing beats the good ole American 'mass shooting' assault rifle. used yet again in a mass shooting. if there is any commonality to all of these mass shootings its the type of weapon used.
June 12, 201610 yr Nothing beats the good ole American 'mass shooting' assault rifle. used yet again in a mass shooting. if there is any commonality to all of these mass shootings its the type of weapon used. Hmm, good point. I'm no expert on any of this but can we limit the types of weapons sold? I don't think the average American buying a weapon for self defense under the second amendment is gonna argue they absolutely need an assault rifle to protect their home and their family. Forgive the racism but maybe more red flags should be raised when an Islamic American wants to purchase an assault rifle, regardless of his past history being clean.

There have been plenty of mass murders committed in the last 5 years by people that are not Islamic in this nation.
June 12, 201610 yr There have been plenty of mass murders committed in the last 5 years by people that are not Islamic in this nation. Ok, understood, so what do you think? We should stop allowing assault rifles to be sold to anyone and everyone?
June 12, 201610 yr Duh. If you make something illegal it becomes impossible to do. See drugs, alcohol, and prostitution And pirating movies And working without a work permit. Ouch... maybe they should ban guns, so people start to use them more frequently.
June 12, 201610 yr Religion of peace. Someone arrested today in California with a bunch of ammo apparently ready to go ham on people. As religion starts to die faster and faster in the developed world, these fucking crazies are going to become more violent. They won't let their imaginary friends die without a fight. Wish I could live long enough to see the last major organized religion disappear. That man was a white guy from Indiana.
June 13, 201610 yr What I don't understand is how did the FBI/CIA not see anything wrong with him purchasing weapons? He has been interviewed 3 times within the last 4 years for other events that occurred to see what he knew and if he was part of it. How was there not a giant red flag when he purchased the guns? Especially because he obtained them legally. How did that happen?

How did that happen? after reading your comment and trying to answer your question, I have just one thing to say: with all the crimes going on and murders and shooting, I just want to make it through life based on natural causes. its preposterous that we are discussing shootings and murders on a daily basis. those who have made it to 70 years old, dodging this BS are so lucky.
June 13, 201610 yr Woke up at 6am from my sister calling to make sure I was okay. Death count was only 9. Unreal watching it go up through the day. None of my friends were there but I have friends of friends still unaccounted for...

Well I would still venture to say the likely hood of dying in a shooting are still pretty low especially compared to car transportation. Not every shooting is a targeted mass shooting type. Think of the countless gang on gang shootings that occur in your big cities and the type of murders that have occurred for years.
June 13, 201610 yr Woke up at 6am from my sister calling to make sure I was okay. Death count was only 9. Unreal watching it go up through the day. None of my friends were there but I have friends of friends still unaccounted for... Still in the same boat. I can't look at the news. Don't want to go on Facebook because swing friends searching for their friends on Facebook is a difficult sight. I can't even imagine what it's like for them right now though.
