ONE day after Omar Mateen opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Orlando, killing 49 people and injuring 53 others, President Barack Obama has said it appears that the shooter was inspired by various extremist information that was being distributed on the internet.

Speaking from the White House, Obama also said there was no clear evidence that the gunman, Omar Mateen, was directed through someone else and “no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot”. As America reels from the aftermath of the massacre in Florida, the identities of the shooter’s victims are being revealed.

-- He is actually blaming America for the creation of this monster and absolving radical Islamic influence. the man pledged allegiance to ISIS prior to committing suicide by Jihad. that isn't homegrown. --

Darn straight. This adjective, "homegrown" doesn't describe who and what actually influenced this piece of scum. The scum was influenced by one or more Islamic clerics and ISIS agitprop.

"Homegrown" is a way to divert attention in fruitless directions, and avoid getting to the root of this particular problem.

All true, except for the part identifing Islam as a religion.

Islam is a cult.
Islam gives you license to follow and execute sharia law.
Whatever “evil” you see around you, you-you special mooselimb snowflake-have permission to eliminate the evil by killing people.
And the best part? Because as a mooselimb you are now engaged in the war against evil n0n-mooselimb, you get the highly desired, no questions asked, all is forgiven, automatic entry to a neverending afterlife of carnal bliss with 72 virgins.

The problem was, is and always will be how mooselimbs interact with everyone else

It’s not homegrown.

It is being deliberately IMPORTED.

Does not matter if he was born here or visitor.

Islam has one solution for every slight or evil that enters a depraved or well adjusted mind.

Kill, Kill, Kill, and do not stop killing until you yourself are killed in support of your moon god.

Obama shuffling responsibility with a transparent shell game; Kenyan black-mamba covering for the Taliban pit-viper brothers. Quick, bring in another hundred thousand before the People wake up. /s

OBAMA IS AN OUTRIGHT idiot OR A liar.... or both
THE MOSQUES attended by san bernardino murderers and the mosque in florida attended by the Orlando murderer are part of a sect that preaches JIHAD...
WAKE UP OBAMA
and
is fully known by both the FBI and DHS....
my question is why NSA isnt picking up on communicaitons of the terrorists
including facebook and other social media posts
OBAMA has directed the FBI and DHS to BACK OFF ON MUSLIM SURVEILANCE...

he is one of them and a traitor

So was Tim McVeigh, Charles Manson, Richard Speck, who murdered eight student nurses, one at a time, in their townhouse. Speck was armed only with a knife. None of his victims was armed. Speck’s crime should make every liberal gun-grabber think, then vomit.

This was a TOTAL FBI FAILURE! And DUMBO’s policies, that is where the blame lies.

Why is Obama working so hard to defend ISIS and shield them from any involvement in all this? Could it be any more obvious whose side this guy is really on?

So was Tim McVeigh...

McVeigh was a "homegrown extremist" and terrorist. Manson, Speck, and others of their ilk could more accurately be described as deranged, evil, and psychopathic criminals.

The Orlando terrorist, by contrast, pledged his allegiance to a foreign terrorist group. Obama, and the rest of his administration are trying to spin away from the truth of the matter by claiming that Omar Mateen wasn't directed by ISIS, but instead just read their posted materials and acted accordingly.

Apparently, if you are an Islamic terrorist and you go to a web site and follow the directions you are not being "directed" by the group. But of course if you are a supporter of someone like Ammon Bundy and you go to a web site and take actions based on what you read there you are a "co-conspirator" and likely to be indicted.

That tells you a lot about how the present administration and Hillary Clinton think.

The guy makes two trips to Saudi Arabia, was a student of a terrorist instructor, but there's “no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot”.

Right.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been active for about 100 years and boldly so in Egypt. No other body has been such a destructive force (to their own people) in the Arab/Muslim world until the recent advent of Al-Qeaida and ISIS.

There are theories that it was the MB that pushed the Arabs along with Hajamin Al Husenni (the Mufti of Jerusalem and personal friend of Hitler) into attacking Israel at it's forming in 1948. The result of Israel surviving is called the NAKBA or great catastrophe, (that they didn't manage to annihilate all the Jews).

The MB have done there best to cause havoc for Nasser, Sadat (they killed him), Mubarak and now Al-Sisi. They are close to Turkey and other insane Islamists in Gaza, the West Bank and many other areas..

What General/President Al-Sisi in Egypt is doing is keeping them at bay, at best. They are a multi-headed hydra that needs to have many heads cut off, frequently.

Think about it, this lets ISIS off the hook, as well as Obama. Homegrown extremism? Just where is it being grown in America? The mosques, the public schools, how about the government, farms, churches? Obama defends Muslim extremism and as always, blames America first. He negotiates and ponies up with the biblical evil Persia and when their evil comes to our shores, the devil then compromises America. What exactly is “at the SPECIFIC direction” anyway?
