“I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, Jewish people are targets of persecution and intimidation by radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence,” says Trump. We guess he missed the part where we’re all more likely to be shot down by a white, Right-Wing extremist like himself than any Islamic terrorist — while also totally hopscotching over the fact that this guy was born and raised in the good old USA. Honestly you would think that after a tragedy of this magnitude he could take just ONE DAY to focus on the lives lost than use it as an opportunity push his own agenda. SMH.
Omar Mateeen Visited Club Pulse Over 12 Times The nation is still recovering from the most deadly mass shooting in US history this evening as more details about the victims and the shooter emerge . As it turns out, Omar Mateen didn’t pick Club Pulse at random. In fact, he had personally patronized the club and interacted with its clientele heavily on over a dozen occasions… Via MailOnline : Omar Mateen, the gunman who murdered 49 people in a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday morning, was a regular at the club, patrons have said. Mateen, who was armed with an assault rifle and handgun, entered Pulse nightclub in Orlando and opened fire, killing and injuring dozens before a SWAT team knocked down a wall of the club and shot him. But that wasn’t the first time he’d been there, The Orlando Sentinel reported. One regular at the club said he’d seen Mateen, whose father claimed he was very homophobic, at least a dozen times there before the massacre. ‘Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself,’ Ty Smith, who also uses the name Aries, told the Sentinel Monday. ‘Other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent,’ he added. Remarks that Mateen drank heavily conflict with his apparently strict adherence to his Muslim faith, including regular worship at a mosque in his home town of Port St. Lucie – where he was quiet and kept to himself. Smith said he’d seen Mateen at Pulse ‘at least a dozen times’, joining three others who said they’d seen the shooter at the club before. ‘We didn’t really talk to him a lot, but I remember him saying things about his dad at times,’ Smith said. ‘He told us he had a wife and child.’ Mateen’s father, Seddique Mir Mateen, denied that the attack had anything to do with religion, and said his son had become enraged after seeing two men kissing in Miami months before. HMMM. So what exactly would someone who had such an intense problem with homosexuals be doing hitting up the gay club routinely for months on end…striking up conversations about his life with the openly homosexual men and women he “hates so much” in a nightclub setting???? Sounds like he had some seriously repressed feelings he didn’t know how to deal with that manifested themselves in hate…
