On 9/11, the Orlando shooter’s classmates mourned. Some say he celebrated.

Hillary should never be allowed to be any close to our constitutional rights and our constitution at all.

She have no honor, no dignity and behind her for the people exterior is a cold hearted women bound to have only one desire, to be a female president, nothing else.

By god she will be one even if it means to sell her soul and America to any enemy with enough money.

I heard about this last night. Someone talking to a reporter claimed he was actually expelled because of his reaction. If that's true, should be easy to confirm, and that would certainly show he was someone who could be recruited by a terrorist group.

On that, his violence toward the ex-wife, and his apparent isolation would have made that even more likely. Add in that he might have been casing the club ahead of time, and it makes even more sense. It's possible he could have been homosexual, but I don't think that's a given, just because he might have been in the club before. The idea that someone "must be gay" if they express serious dislike of homosexuality, is nothing more than a meme, as far as I am concerned.

Yes, I would say his father knows a lot more than
what he is telling the media. One look at the links
his father has, and that very strange "corporation"
he is operating under.

The fact that Omar scouted out Disney world is
downright chilling. He may have chosen this
bar because it was open late at night and
he could back people in, also probably
he figured there would be no security.

Doubt he would have lasted 3 hours at Disney World.

How did he "cheer on terrorists" and celebrate something nobody knew was occurring except the people on board the flights?

Oops.

Gotta love logic and consistency.

"One former student who was sitting in the same class as Mateen remembers the morning of 9/11 clearly: “Teachers said turn on the TV. We see the one plane hit. And then see second plane hit … [Mateen] was smiling. It was almost like surreal how happy he was about what happened to us.”

Both of you...huh?

All so very true, well said.

She betrays the country and is being rewarded
for it. Time will tell if anything will happen to her for her serious
crimes, but she is marked as being the first and only candidate
running for POTUS while under investigation by the FBI.

The reports of how Bill let Bin Laden go because of feigned
sympathy, I don't buy that. There were other reasons,
and they are tied right back to this, and 9/11.

Agreed, many accounts that he was filled with hate.

His fathers comments certainly steered the media in that direction,
he may have chosen that bar for many reasons, not just the LGBT
aspect of it.

A new twist in the story, from a former classmate.

Not sure what to make of that. In any case...this is a
very strange set of circumstances. And the timing is
very ...almost on cue.

All considered, I suspect there was more than one reason. Regardless, killing people for disagreeing is just plain wrong. There are some who would do that with any who don't agree with them, for any reason. People can like or dislike whomever they want, but the violence is inexcusable. Forty-nine people gone, family and friends left without them, because this guy decided they didn't deserve to live. Horrible.

I wonder, too, about the motivations of his handlers. Betting he had them, and someone so volatile would be easy to use to push some agenda or other. Maybe more than one.

Tragic, and horrific. My thoughts and prayers go out to the
loved ones, family's who have lost.

There is never any justification for taking a life of another.

It is indeed scary to think this is the second time in the U.S.
in recent months, and many times over across the world.

No religious belief is correct, or justified in thought that
hates toward another human, and to the extent they
live in hate.

Yes, he must have had some contact in his travels, sure seems likely.
Even if it was not on the radar.

These days, too, some people are willing to label simple disagreement as hate, and claim it's no different than jerks like this one. That ends up fostering more division, I think. Terrible for all the families! Forty-nine people gone, just like that.

I wish they'd hurry up and round up all others involved. Still a bit unsure about the door situation, and how he was able, with two single shot weapons, to fire so many rounds, so quickly.

Yes, and I think the Media sure plays a big part in that...

The door situation seems really strange, and the 3 hours is also
a big question in my mind. But yeah, if there were others involved
they need to be investigated, then charged.

Ultimately, this looks like a case of Jihad in America.

The FBI is piecing together Mateen’s radical Islam roots, and the trips to Saudi Arabia could be a sign of his growing religious devotion. His stated reason for both the 2011 and 2012 trips was umrah, a Muslim pilgrimage to the Kingdom that is not as significant as the hajj, a trip all Muslims must make to Mecca at least once in their lives. Either or both of the trips could also have included a side trip.
