By now everyone has heard or read about the dastardly attack in Orlando’s night club…..
Sunday morning’s bloodbath at Pulse Orlando nightclub was far bloodier than police initially indicated, with the city mayor now confirming at least 50 casualties in what is now the worst mass shooting in American history, reports the AP. At least 53 people have been hospitalized. “There’s blood everywhere,” Mayor Buddy Dyer told a news conference. The gunman has been identified as Omar Mateen of Port St. Lucie, Fla., an American citizen born to Afghan parents, reports ABC News, which characterizes Mateen as “on the radar” of authorities, though not on a specific watchlist or subject of an investigation. “It appears he was organized and well-prepared,” Orlando’s police chief tells CNN, adding that Mateen had an assault weapon, handgun, and “some type of (other) device on him.” Florida Gov. Rick Scott is en route to the scene and says in a statement that “We will devote every resource available to assist with the shooting in Orlando.”
To tell you the truth I have more interested is seeing what the comments from those of slower mental processes over this bloody attack.
Let me explain…..first, this was committed by a person of “Arabic” descent and second it was an attack on a gay club….now those two factors will make for some outrageous accusations and comments…..
Already there has been one from an extreme anti-gay person……
Anti-gay Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick tweeted a Bible verse from Galatians 6:7 – “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” early on Sunday morning as news was breaking across the nation that dozens had been killed in an overnight massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando.
Patrick has been an outspoken opponent of LGBT rights, telling Texas judges that they may refuse to marry same-sex couples, applauding the defeat of Houston’s LGBT nondiscrimination ordinance HERO, and defying President Obama’s direction to schools on transgender rights, among other things.
Texas should be proud that they elect such unfeeling SOBs….
Now I await the inevitable digs at Arabs over this attack…..keep in mind this is NOT a refugee he is an American citizen…just like the California attack of several months ago….
The MSM is speculating its ass off over this attack…..and as usual they bring forth the “profilers”….which in my opinion are nothing more than bullshit artists.
I am sure there is more to this attack than we are aware of as of today……I will keep an eye on the situation.
And while I was watching for updates….this came in……
An Indiana man armed with three assault rifles and chemicals used to make explosives was arrested in Southern California on Sunday and told police he wanted to do harm to a gay pride parade—an event that annually draws hundreds of thousands of people, authorities say. The early-morning arrest in Santa Monica of James Wesley Howell, 20, came just a few hours after at least 50 people were shot and killed in a gay nightclub in Orlando Florida, though authorities said they had found no evidence of a connection between the suspects, the AP reports. Residents called police to report suspicious behavior from Howell, who was parked facing the wrong way in a white sedan, police say. When officers arrived they apparently saw an assault rifle sitting in Howell’s passenger seat.
That prompted them to search the whole car. They found two more assault rifles, high capacity magazines and ammunition, and a five-gallon bucket with chemicals that could be used to make an explosive device, police say. Authorities would answer no further questions on Howell or his motives. The FBI has taken over the lead of the investigation from the local police. Heriberto Gomez, a lifelong resident who says he watches over the neighborhood, says he stepped outside at 3am Sunday and saw Howell’s white four-door Acura sedan in the street. Gomez says the man then ran across the street and hid in bushes and overhanging trees. It appeared the man was looking back at him. “I was looking at him for a minute, for a long minute,” Gomez says. “He didn’t want to come my way because he seen me standing right here.”
There are two things that will be certainties……one the media will have a feeding frenzy and two, somewhere this will be all Obama’s fault.
If, in fact, Omar Mateen was really “on the radar” of authorities then the “authorities” are to be held equally ACCOUNTABLE for this tragedy.
My opinion: American watchdogs (ex. CIA, FBI, basic Law Enforcement, etc.) are the biggest sleeper cells in the world. Seriously, just do your JOBs!!!
Excellent point….
Reblogged this on The Militant Negro™.
TY my friend….chuq
It’s really too bad the ring leaders of this circus world in which we live stay in the shadows…. It doesn’t matter who this idiot was, or why he did it; the reasons will be insane. Just like the society in which he lives… which just happens to be the society in which we all live.
Insane people will kill those of whom they are afraid; it has always been so, and is so in our world. No species can survive if it kills its own members with such abandon. But, those who have the power do not want very many guns available to the public; it’s too dangerous for them if they’re ever found out. So, incidents like this, which are usually ‘false flag’ incidents, arranged by some shadowy agents who primed the pump of the insane ones, to manipulate them into acting out their insane fantasy, for the purpose of fanning the flames of fear among those who will refuse to think beyond the outrage, allowing their own fears to cause them to trade security for liberty….
You can’t make any sense out of any of it, because the whole damn species is crazy, one way or another….
gigoid, the dubious
The reporting is all too much speculation and fantasy…..roll put the bullshit artist called profilers….chuq
Sunday morning, I turned the TV on to see the middle of a police press conference. I tuned in one second after the perp’s name was given, which accidentally allowed me to get a more accurate context.
“…was a 29 year old man born in NY. He was armed with an AR15 & a pistol. He walked into a gay nightclub that was well known in Orlando, killed 50, wounded at least another 50 and had 2 shootouts with police….”
Florida, an AR-15, a gay nightclub….1+1+1=3 Okay, just another day at the American office. I got my favourite Formula 1 race to watch, so where’s the remote?
But then I saw the Imam in the background, heard the name “Omar” and realized nothing else would matter at ALL, even though I already had the REAL story. The story is simple. A nut-job with an incredibly effective killing machine available to every American killed a bunch of people he hated solely because they liked dick. But nooooo! This story is going to get hijacked by ONE detail, perhaps even the least significant one.
Why? Because that lone detail makes the story sell much better and makes it fit the overall political narrative better. Lots of stakeholders in the status-quo want everything BUT that one detail ignored.
so true…it has been hijacked because he is Afghan and a Muslim….nothing else matters to the media and the low lifes that use it to spread their hate….
Like The Boss, he was born in the USA!
