apply purple where needed.

That is what the media will tell us.

The media is sitting on the name.

For it to be this long it is not helpful to their cause I am guessing.

EDIT: Nailed it.

FBI is already saying it's POSSIBLY linked to domestic terrorism.
Seems like a Muppet News Flash.

The whole world is going crazy. Why would someone just shoot up a club full of strangers? (or a theater, etc?)

"Florida Department of Law Enforcement Special Agent in Charge Danny Banks said during a news conference that the mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. He says authorities are looking into whether this was an act of domestic or international terror, and if the shooter was a lone wolf."

They used the "T" word, so they can't blame it on some conservative White guy

I'm afraid this will become much more common in the near future.. A lot of folks in need of mental health services or long term iron bar storage are among us..

Why do these sick ****s always have to make a statement?

Curious if the motivation is Anti-America, Anti-gay, anti-what???

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Now saying they are investigating to see if the gunman had ties to "radical influences"... whatever that means. He is a U.S. citizen from elsewhere in FL.

The report I heard this AM was spot on on the point that these things happen in "soft targets". They used that word, and it was on CNN. The person speaking (I walked in after they said who it was, evidently, but it was not a caller on the phone) further clarified that making it harder to hit places would reduce the number of these shootings.

Of note: Florida law forbids the carry of a handgun (at least, maybe any firearm?) in a place where alcohol is served to be consumed on the premises. This refers to a bar, obviously, or to the bar area of a restaurant.. so you could, for example, carry into Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday, but not if you were going to sit in the bar area.
***
Considering this was a night club, I think it is fair to presume that alcohol was being served for consumption on the premises... So this is a hoax. It couldn't have happened, because that would mean the shooter carried a gun where it was not allowed!

Feel free to apply purple to the preceding section, between the triple asterisks.

The answer is not fewer guns, guys; it's more, but they have to be in the hands of good people... That is, not "only cops".

Blessings,
Bill

It was at Pulse. That's a gay nightclub. It's also being called an act of terror.

 

[Kutnupe14]

We, here, know this.... but people are going to say it was because the shooter had a rifle that so many were injured.

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

The shooter did his homework and picked a target to maximize the body count. We are at war with an evil mindset, that sees no issue with murdering innocent civilians to expand their cause.

 

[JollyMon]

Ughhh. Why Can't these people just off themselves without taking other with them?

Is the media sitting on it or is LE?

 

[JTScribe]

Don't all these terrorists know that Islam is a religion of peace?

 

[Kutnupe14]

Is the media sitting on it or is LE?

Yeah, more than likely it's LE. My question, given the location, is whether it's domestic or Islamic. Both typically have issues with that community.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Don't all these terrorists know that Islam is a religion of peace?

I'm inclined to think that it's Islamic-related too, but it's still to early to say that matter of factly.

I see what you did there.

This is purple.
