50 Dead In Orlando Terror Attack

Orlando ..


Paris..

 

The club's owner said on the Today Show that she will open the club again, because you can't let haters win. I was surprised to hear that. You know, everybody in New York said that nothing could ever be rebuilt exactly where the Twin Towers once stood, because it would be disrespectful to the dead. I like her approach better. When you allow anything to be changed permanently by terrorists, you give them power. We all need to show them that they don't get to decide anything.

It was horrible, I'm about 35 minutes away from where this happened. Death toll goes up everyday for the rest of the victims dying in the hospital. The streets are full down there where it happened. And the blood buses are advertised as much as the shooting itself. Thats how critical the remaining victim's are.My husbands co worker awaits news if his nephew will die or not is terrifying. I ccan't turn the tv on cause honestly tired of hearing about it. The negative person killed so many. He was actually at the bar in shorts and shirt hanging out at the bar with a man he met, then goes outside puts pants a long sleeve and jacket on just to go inside and kill. Wtf is wrong with this world?!?

 

The accounts from the survivors are nothing but pure terror. The physical pain and mental anguish they suffered is unimaginable.

If the shooter was indeed a closeted gay man, I find that unbelievable sad. The level of self loathing must have been really intense to go to such an extreme measure.

 

Whatever his motive was it is unbelievable sad in any way. Disliking homosexualty is of course one thing, but to act upon that dislike in such a way is always disturbing and very very nasty. Wether it was done because of some cultural motivation, or a religious one, or wether he had homosexual feelings that he was supressing himself. This action screams 'I can't handle reality' in every way.

 

Now they're talking about charging his wife. I don't see that. The New York Post is saying she could have prevented it all. How so? Here's the scenario I see: She calls the police, tells them her husband has bought guns to go shoot up a gay bar. They come and talk to him. He says he hates gay people, but denies planning to kill anyone, and points out that his guns were legally purchased. The police have to let him go because there is no evidence of a crime. Then he kills his wife before driving to the club.

The FBI talked to him three times, but couldn't do anything to him because it isn't illegal to say nice things about ISIS or bad things about LGBT.




However, his dad really needs to STFU. He's become an attention whore.

 

I have a feeling that if the wife would have said something it would have alerted police and potentially stalled Mateen. He might have listened to reason, but of course the picture that's being painted doesn't project that outcome. It sounds like he's had problems all his life from grade school to high school and then some.

 

Why would that be different from his three conversations with the FBI?

 

They're only gonna charge her if it appears she really knew he was gonna do it. A person is partly guilty for holding back such info, it's the same in the Netherlands. Of course there are certain situations where this is excused, for example if he made her seriously scared to tell others. It depends on the details wether she gets sentenced or not. But at first, going by the procedure, she appears guilty of that specific issue and that will of course be looked into. Not that strange.

 

Not quite the same in the US.
