Terrible mass shooting in the US. Prayers and thoughts with the families and the injured.

Yes. This is a tragedy. The shooter made a 911 call before shooting pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, jihadisht leader.
The shooter at the Pulse nightclub, had a security guard designation and was able to carry fire arms. Pulse nightclub is a popular gay night club. The shooter's father reported that the shooter was upset by seeing gay men kissing on the streets of Orlando and that anger may have also been the reason for this shooting at Pulse nightclub.

Also in Los Angeles, police stopped a man with explosives and weapons in his car. He told police that he was on his way to a LA gay pride celebration.

They should treat hate like a mental illness. If anyone is out there just spewing hate hate hate, they should be able to pick them up and throw them in the hospital.

The Washington Post reported the shooter was an angry guy that beat his wife for e.g., not finishing the laundry before he got home. It is amazing to me that people with so much anger and hate are allowed to roam freely in society and there is nothing anyone can do.

President Obama has condemned this an an act of terror and an act of hate.
Isis has made a statement AFTER the 911 message from the shooter, identifying himself as a follower of Isis that this was a warrior of Isis.

US Islamic leaders have condemned this shooting.

And easy access to guns!


I just hope none of the survivors is shunned by their families for being gay..

Pastor Steven Anderson, whose hate knows no bounds, celebrated the deaths of 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando in a 4-minute mini-sermon that cited the Bible as justification for why they needed to die. (And if it didn’t happen via a shooter, it should have happened by way of government execution.)
It’s the most disturbing, hateful response to a mass shooting you’ll ever hear, and it was provoked by Anderson’s complete hatred of LGBT people.

makes me want to engage the False Flag people for some sanity...

Family members are gathered at an Orlando hotel, where police update them about fatalities.

I really do not understand the pro-gun argument. It is beyond belief that guns are so easy to buy in the States. Men can hold guns but not hands? Crazy.

The reports I've been seeing about this is it's a white male named James Howell
