I am very sad right now. This happened only a 40 minute drive across town from me. My wife had co-workers who had stayed home last night, but do frequent the club from time to time.
Particulars unconfirmed in many cases, at present, awaiting notification of families.
:sad:
Another second gen Muslim. A homophobe according to his dad.
I kinda have the feeling this means that Trump will win in November.
I doubt it will significantly effect anything. Everyone has ideological blinders on, anything we see is immediately filtered.Quote:

In the end the election will come down to the economy like it does for every other election.
I wonder why his dad didn't participate in the shooting, since he is also muslim. I've been told by top minds that the issue is this simple.Quote:

A Pakistani cricket forum that I read noted, after this latest incident, that Muslims born in the west tend to have more extreme views than those who were born in Muslim countries but who have moved to the west. They particularly enjoyed one example where a western born Muslim called for greater dedication to their religion, only to be mocked by resident Pakistanis.Quote:

I thought it was a bit extreme for "just homophobic", ISIS is a good one though, how fast they became more "popular" than Al Queda...Quote:

That this is clearly the action of a deranged young adult who, despite never really heavily participating in religious activity (according to his family), used religious extremism as an excuse to commit mass murder? Yes, Fragony. I agree with you.Quote:

If you think islam belongs here it's islam that you get, to you utmost surprise, yes you as well, they do not like you, It is what it is. It's a hostile ideogie with a limb dick but with all the cruelty to compemsate, how can anyone not get that, ir's gong to be much worse,Quote:

Bit of a trach-record the islam, especially compared to hmmmmmmmmmm no nothing really. Older societies had an excuse but the islam exists in a modern age and can't handle not being able to handle the pace. All spite. Must be hard to feel superior when the time proves you wrong.. Let's take ki out on innocents who only hurted your self-esteemQuote:

Guns and Islam are here to stay in america get used to it. Tool up I.e. obtain a concealed carry or become extinct. Political correctness prevented mateen from being revoked security clearance and being fired and reported to police. Problem isn't guns its Fundamentalist Islam if guns were banned in america he would of used a bomb which he did but failed to explode or he would use a knife or run you over like in Israel.
Just saw Owen Jones go full retard.

This is hard.
Well, we know that Trump can give a sensitive, well thought-out response and rally his supporters in this time when the focus should be on the victim's grieving families:Quote:

Fragony, I'm confused. Can you help me out?
Oh come on, you know that this was a terrorist attack by a muslim extremist. That doesn't cancel out other problems. But islamic-terrorism is a much bigger problem than deranged people. You are being dishonest if you refuse to see difference.Quote:

They were spaced a decade apart, yet they and their signature laws are still remembered. In 2005, the 7/7 attack and another similar attack with the same MO were spaced a few weeks apart. The first killed 50+, while we were lucky the devices in the second attack malfunctioned. There was one in Scotland around the same time as well. And those are the ones that are publicly known and that I can remember offhand. NB. I've discounted the ones with melee weapons, as they don't involve the same kind of sudden mass killing as the other examples.Quote:

The point is that pretty much any nutcake can get a gun, go into a public area, and have about ten minutes to absolutely go nuts before the first wave of police arrive. They can proclaim allegiance to Mickey Mouse, the bodies will still be there.Quote:
