Radical Islam my asshole....

He was a terrorist. Being gay and not being accepted by his culture/Islam may have drove him to terrorism, but it does not change what he was. Just helps explains why he was....

Anyone who thinks it is mutually exclusive is simply trying to push a political agenda....

"FBI Director James Comey told reporters Monday a witness had identified Mateen to the FBI during their investigation of Abu-Salha and claimed Mateen was watching videos from the American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, an Al Qaeda terrorist targeted for death by the CIA in 2011.

Just to be clear...Comey has no first hand knowledge of any of that.


It's hearsay.
 
Wrong. The check is not cursory, it goes through NCIC which contains the criminal records of everyone who is convicted of a felony, any violent misdemeanor, has an order of protection against them, or any other legal action that would disqualify them from owning firearms.

That being said the system is not perfect. People enter the data and errors are made all the time. Sometimes information is not sent to the FBI on a timely manner. Other times people with similar names are confused in the system and denied a purchase.

Explain the gun show loopholes.

You're kidding yourself if you think every sale of one of these weapons gets a back ground check.
 
His wife knew he was gay. People knew.

If he was Japanese Id say he did this to save face.

Maybe someone new was about to find out? Someone he totally freaked out over possibly knowing?

His wife probably knows a lot. She might not have expected something this extreme, but she had to know a good bit about his lifestyle.

I think he did do it to save face.
 
they reach for the gun as an easy option
they reach for religion as the easy excuse

'they' being any cowardly murdering bastard claiming they're shooting the fuck out of people in the name of a religious belief

At least the core of this is about him being gay. I dont doubt he wanted to believe all this isil crapola....but thats not why he did this.

Not even close.

Reading Awlaki sermons and watching his videos are among the most common and obvious red flags for homegrown terrorism. This is what San Bernardino shooters Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook were watching before they killed 14 people in December. Both of the Boston Marathon bombers studied the cleric's radical teachings before they planted pressure-cooker bombs at the finish line of the race in 2013; Maj. Nidal Hasan exchanged emails with the American cleric before he opened fire at Fort Hood in 2009"

I agree he was a terrorist. I think his religion is what put him in a mindset that he had to do this to "go out" a jihadist instead of being an outed gay Muslim.

The guy had a history of obvious mental problems and anger issues. Throw in a gay lifestyle with his religion and you have a person who might do just about anything to try to cover it up ... including suddenly becoming a jihadist against his friends who he had no problem being openly gay around previously.
 
Excuse me, jackd. Where are the screenshots of him trawling for cock?

Someone I last dated 10 years ago was outed as a weirdo pervert on the cover of the NY Post recently and I could pull up evidence of our interactions on my phone in 2 minutes. This dude was looking for dick last week and we get nothing? Not even a photoshop job.

It's hearsay.

And what "first hand knowledge" do you possess for validation of your hearsay you created this thread from to pimp? You rate your third-hand (at best) info gathering abilities and analysis greater than FBI terrorism investigations and conclusions?

Don't listen to the Director of the FBI, trust lawn mower man!

Tff.
 
And what's your excuse for enabling a poster who tells another poster exactly what he'll do to that poster's daughter, and that the daughter will enjoy it, in the name of progressivism, tolerance, open-mindedness and equality?

You're no different philosophically than the very ones you claim to despise so much. Phony, enabling bitch just doesn't like to look in her own mirror.

Boner killer!
 
Agreed. But he doesn't come across as all that bright anyway.

He had claimed "ISIS" to coworkers, etc. a couple of times in the past, leading to his being looked at by the Feds. Those times turned out to be just him using it in the spur of the moment as well.

its kind of amazing how you (and everyone else, for that matter) speak with such certainty about this guy

I think you would be hard pressed to find any Islamic terrorist capable of such an act that did not have mental problems.

Women suicide bombers are easy prey. They grow up in a culture of abuse were women are valued less than goats. They have mental issues.

Any man who could cut off someones head obviously has mental issues.

and on and on and on...

His issue just happened to be he was born gay in a culture that teaches gay people should be killed.
 
Explain the gun show loopholes.

You're kidding yourself if you think every sale of one of these weapons gets a back ground check.

The gun show loophole is a misnomer.

Background checks are conducted by all licensed dealers for every sale of a firearm, new or used. It doesn't matter if the sale is at a gun show, in a store, or over the internet. The background check is required by law.

What they are really talking about at gun shows is that I can go in a gun show as a person (I don't have an FFL) and sell any weapon I legally own, to anyone I want, without doing a background check.

The same is true if I sell the same gun to a friend, neighbor, co worker, classmate, relative, or someone on craigslist.

The liberal media and anti gun politicians call it the gun show loophole to demonize gun shows and make it seem like the background check is not required at guns shows. This is misleading and a way for them to drum up support from people who are ignorant about the subject.

Only FFL (Federal Firearms License) holders (those who sell guns as a business) are required to do background checks. No individual who wants to sell a gun is required to do one anywhere. Be it a gun show, in their home, at their church, or in a McDonalds parking lot.

That's the gun show loophole. There has never been a mass shooting that was traced back to a private sale at a gun show.

Penalties for not conducting a background check include loss of the FFL, fines and jail time. No legitimate FFL holder will risk their livelihood by not doing a check. Look up how many FFL's are revoked for not doing background checks. Very few are, and mostly newer dealers who made a mistake.

I don't have to verify if someone has a DL or insurance if I sell them a car. Why should I have to run a background check to sell my gun to my dad or my son or my friend or anyone else?

I'm not aware of anyone here claiming the two concepts were mutually exclusive.

What most folks appear to be arguing about is what influenced his conduct more: his religion or his apparent gay self-loathing. You could argue it either way, it doesn't make his victims any less dead.

Again, agreed. But he was involved in the gay community for years with no obvious issues requiring him to go all jihadi. He was a "regular". Pulse wasn't the only place he had gone either. Something happened to spark this all of a sudden. Someone spurned him, embarrassed him, or threatened to out him to people he couldn't live with knowing. What prompted it? Maybe the wife knows? Maybe a cleric found out and told him he had to do it for forgiveness? Something other than "homos bad" caused this event to occur.
 
Shove your "Reported" up your phony, two-faced ass, you enabling piece of shit.

Disgustipated directly told another poster exactly what he'd do to that poster's daughter, and that the poster's daughter would like it - an act in fact, if actually committed, would unarguably result in Disgustipated's arrest - and all a total fuckwad like you can do is keep trying your best to coverup your fuckwad pal's crime.

Fuck off and die.

See ya later, Eyer17. :D
