There won't be any way the powers that be in Washington or the MSM can label this anything else.

Wanna bet? Since this happened at a GAY nightclub they'll probably call it a homophobic attack. And somehow Trump will be blamed as well.

It is a homophobic attack, ISIS hates homosexuals, but anyone who tries to blame Trump for this will look like fools.

Law enforcement sources told CBS News the gunman has been identified as Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen from Port St. Lucie. Mateen was born to Afghan parents in 1986.


Motive is a slippery topic. It could just as easily have been motivated by a fanatical right-wing Xtian, or a simple homophobe.

But while motives may take a while to deduce, the mode is obvious. The definition of terrorism is to terrorize a civilian population for a political end.

I look forward to Trump’s calm and reasonable response, but to put things in perspective:

During 2014, a total of 136,000 Americans died from accidental causes, an increase of 4.2 percent over the previous year.

"Every individual has the opportunity to make choices to keep themselves safe. It's all preventable. Every accident is preventable, but it's not necessarily the [fault] of the victim," Ken Kolosh, director of the (NSC) said.

ans-reach-record-high.htm


It could happen: Trump calling for gun-control and program to reduce accidental deaths. Not likely to happen.

The shooter was an American citizen and a homophobe.

Assault Weapon + Zealot = Mass Shooting
Assault Weapon + Homophobe = Mass Shooting
Assault Weapon + Mental Illness = Mass Shooting

I think we're starting to see the common element to mass shootings.

Also reports of the radical Islamic guy having explosives, Islamist Gunman, Omar Mateen Sediqqi, suspected of killing 50 people has 'some connection to ISIS' the radical Muslim attack was said to wear a suicide bomber vest. ABC, Fox, CNN, France 24 all saying terrorism BBC News interviewed the terrorists father, who said it wasn't about Islam, he just hated gays, those people....I don't hate....its the religion of peace...just hate infidels and homosexuals just like Mohammed and Islam. Can't talk about homophobia of Islam, or call out suicide bombers you might appear as racist. Local cops confirm possible radical muslim attack, the FBI just called it domestic terror.
