Omg... I just turned on the radio a few mins ago.

:hug: to you LN7 & your friend, and Iriving ( don't who else is out a a gay person in Interference ). And of course people here who have gay friends and family

Headache thanks for adding in the extreme right wing faction of Christians and Catholics who could be set off in a similar manner. I was just going to do that before I scrolled down after IY's post. IY don't know if you are a Christian or a atheist/secularist, wasn't sure if you were solely pointing at extreme Islamists.

Strength to all affected!

Someone we feared as a casualty apparently just dropped her phone as she was fleeing. Some friends of friends are in the hospital otherwise, but it seems everyone I know personally is thankfully safe.
 
Except it's being reported that the shooter called 911 to claim allegiance to ISIS...



This is going to be the big question over the next few hours. I guess we will see.

Heading down to the Pride street fair for a bit today. It feels like I should be there for some reason.

I don't really want to jump too much into this. But, it seems like a bit of both. By all early reports, he seems to also have had anger issues and was enraged by seeing gay people kiss or something like that. It's one thing when some people are brainwashed by the ideology, and commit a crime. That happens, quite a lot. But this seems like a guy who used it as his excuse to justify slaughtering gay people out of hate. Time will tell when a picture is painted.

Maybe we all should if there's one in our area.

Earlier this year I was thinking about stopping my monthly Human Rights Campaign donation, thinking that the battle had largely been won. But then there's something like this as a startling reminder that there is a long, long way to go yet.
 
Orlando situation could have been easily resolved had the club attendees been carrying weapons on them. Concealed Carry saves lives. :up:
 
No, I need to get ahead of the throngs. Pay no attention to the garbage truck full of money being backed into my driveway.

Lives would still have been loss. A guy on the FBI watch list should have been taken care of but the ball was dropped.

The President is right, this was an act of terror and and act of hate.

This is a mentally unstable man who glommed onto ISIS propaganda. He was apparently on a watch list, and he had a concealed carry permit. If the NRA bought GOP hadn't had their way he'd have been banned from owning a gun, let alone a fucking assault rifle. Why don't we brand the NRA as a terrorist organization since they aid and abet terrorists.

Just found out that a bridesmaid in my sister's upcoming Wedding was killed in the club. I didn't know her personally, but the family is devastated

People who know more than me, should I be getting close to hating Bill Clinton at this point for the ease of purchasing machine guns these days?

Sorry for your family and friends.

I still can't believe it's real.

My 7 month old got a Pride romper, it's rainbow coloured. I think more people should immerse their kids into diversity as early as possible so that things that are different are not strange to them.

There was an armed police officer at the club as the shooting was occurring.

Sorry
You lose this one, all the lefties in here would be coming to his defense saying it was descrimination because he is Muslim, Islam is a religion of peace,
Unless you are a Trump supporter?
 
I think with the ISIS threat (and even if it's removed/powerless there'll be something new), would a real good first step be enacting it where if you're on a FBI watch list, you can't buy a gun???

He's being sardonic.

I have nothing to add to this discussion besides rage and disgust, but I won't decline to mention how opportunistic I find Trump's response to this tragedy. He's a crappy human being.
