Mass casualty shooting in Orlando nightclub

LGBT illegal and punishable by death (at some point in the process) in the following countries:
Libya, Sudan, Mauritania, parts of Nigeria, Somalia, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Brunei.

 

Is the suspect dead, or in custody?

Per NBC, IS calling him an Islamic State fighter.

 

He pledged allegiance to ISIS, the so-called Islamic State, before the shooting, according to Congressman Adam Schiff, D-California.

I think Islamic State travels to Penn State in September.

 

You forgetting Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc., where it's also pretty much against the law to be Christian?

 

ISIS is the Arabic wing of the NRA, right?

 

I'll wait for proof on the IS connection. This turd may well have self radicalized reading their websites, but I doubt that he had any more connection than that. He made a call to 911 and pledged his allegiance to IS, but I bet that's the first they heard of him. Of course they'll take credit, it's cheap publicity and good propaganda.

 

But guns.

 

That was the case in San Bedroo, no?

 

Is it so impossible to think that radical Islam and the easy availability of high capacity automatic weapons might both be a problem? Or that sometimes they are connected and sometimes they are not?

I could kill a whole lot of people with milk jugs full of shredded couch cushions, soap flakes, detergent powder, and gasoline. Get enough of those placed in advance, maybe park cars to block exit doors, use more and some molotov cocktails to torch the place. Instant inferno.

Terrorists can use anything to kill and maim. A screwdriver will do. I still submit that an AR and half a dozen thirty round magazines taken to a soft target that is packed with people makes such an attack incredibly easy.

 

Turned out that case had nothing to do with religion.
