I think Rasheedfan is saying that god sent this man Mateen to massacre the people in Orlando because they wanted to have sex with angels. I find it kind of far fetched myself.
Bullshit Sly!!! Let me be very clear. This guy was mouthing off about belonging to ISIS or IsiL. That should be enough right there to be treated as and enemy combatant. They have declared war on us and the President and Congress should treat it as real. ISIS took credit for this event, this guy says He is one of them. We did nothing! We let him prove it! He shot many many people. It will happen again until you all wake the fuck up. I don't really understand why this is so hard any more than I can understand why you make a fucking joke of it?!?!?!
Dude, you need to stop. 50 people were killed for no other reason than because they're gay. Supposedly this guy saw a couple of men kissing and that set him off. How would you feel if the sight of you kissing someone could cause that person to go home, get a weapon, and murder innocent people? How would you feel if you now were afraid of someone coming into a club and murdering you and 50 other people simply because you possess a quality that they don't like?
Actually it was his religion that told him they needed to die. Its been indoctrinated throughout his culture.
Saw a report come across my TL that the shooter had been spotted at Pulse "dozens" of times before the shooting. Not sure if it's true. I haven't had the time to do more research as I'm at work. However, it wouldn't surprise me. None of this feels like an islamic extremest-only action. The dude was mentally ill, had fundamental extremist leanings, had a history of violence and probably struggled with his own sexual identity. Combustible combo.
Actually, just "mouthing off" shouldn't be enough to treat someone as an enemy combatant. There needs to be corroborating evidence and a definite link.
What if it was a muslim city A lot of people dont like me. I have my life threatened regularly at work. So that angle doesnt work. My point is if you are more worked up 1 over the other maybe you arent such a great person after all. I see an attack on us citizens. Same as 9-11 (assuming it wasnt an inside job) i dont care what color creed or sexual preference they are/have. I dont get why people purposely make a point to let people know they are different than you, then cry about being singled out. Bigotry wont die until you just see people as people.
Nope! You believe him. Perhaps you might want to see if he is a nut case instead, but otherwise off he goes to Gitmo!
She's worked up about gay people being murdered because she IS gay. It's easy to forget what gay people went through because we have come a long way in the past ten or so years, but they had to hide for fear of persecution. When something like this happens, it's a reminder that there are people out there that will do you harm for no reason, other than the fact that they don't like that you're different. The gay community tries to purposefully make a point that they're different because, for the longest time, they had to hide who they were. Now they're proudly taking ownership of their rights, and showing that they're not afraid to tell people that they're gay.
Like when i say im a christian and half the board calls me a gay hater or an idiot? Soon youll be stoning me
A muslim shooter kills gays in the name of Allah. Yet White Christians and the NRA are to blame. Welcome to America.
This is what the gays and blacks dont see. If we all joined forces we could really fuck some muslims (partially homo]
I don't know what I, an individual, can do to stop this from happening but I'm open to suggestions. I just feel helpless as I read accounts of the massacre, and I feel more will certainly follow. There are no good answers.
