According to law enforcement officials, Walt Disney World had reportedly warned federal authorities about the man responsible for Sunday’s Orlando shooting massacre.

Disney alerted the FBI that Omar Mateen and his wife Noor Salman may have been casing the location in April.

According to WFTV:

“Authorities said Omar Mateen had five Facebook accounts, and was the target of law enforcement and the FBI searches. Law enforcement said in May, Omar Mateen conducted online searches of the San Bernadino shooters, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. Authorities said from June 12 to the day of the shooting, Omar Mateen conducted an online search of Pulse.”

We’re not going to hear much about this, because Obama isn’t going to be blamed for any of the terrorist attacks or shootings that have occurred on his watch.

“he ‘cased’ disney? what makes them say that? what was he doing differently from any of the other thousands of visitors that day that made him stand out? funny no explanaation”

Haven't you ever looked at someone and thought "undercover cop"? Do you know a cute girl (or guy) who gets looked at by dozens of people a day but occasionally notices one in particular as creepy? It's actually pretty easy to spot the people who are not there for the same reason as the rest of the crowd.


Yes, they are Secret Service


not quite a normal expression

Probably nothing like this:

At least the "real" security.

I once sat next to a guy on a flight from London to Chicago.

We chatted and after a while I knew something was up.

As we were landing I said “I bet I know what you do for a living.” He just smiled and asked “What?”

I speculated that he works for the government and flies, a lot.

He flashed a subtle grin.

After the seatbelt sign turned of we wished each other well, and when we shook hands he passed me an Air Marshal pin.

Kind of beginning to look like the FBI blew this one. If Mickey Mouse can spor a threat and the FBI misses the same threat 3 times...well, it makes me believe Mickey Mouse security might be superior.

Have to be more than that...

do you notice the background when your children/grandchildren are posing with Cinderella ???

I don’t ..

sometimes the Princesses are in front of the castle but other times they might just be walking past and the child runs up for a hug...

His behavior DID alarm Disney, which is not led by Obama.

But his behavior did NOT alarm the FBI, which is led by Obama.

EXTREMELY INSTRUCTIVE.

You know? We could have gun background checks 10,000% more strict, but if at the end some fluffy PC hippy with a tie gets on the phone and says, “Let him have it, it’s UNFAIR if we don’t...”

THEN THE SYSTEM **STILL** WILL NOT WORK.

Admit it —the background check system is aimed at controlling LAW ABIDING PEOPLE.

I can’t imagine that the security people at Disney are going to provide a list of behaviors that they deem suspicious. Why let the next would-be terrorist know what behaviors to avoid?

Mickey Mouse snagged him, the FBI shrugged their shoulders:

If at the outset you accept the insane premise that the Administration WANTED an attack like this, then IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

The REAL goal of Fast & Furious was BLOODY MURDER HEADLINES.

This guy raised more red flags than a trenching project around a natural gas plant.

His grade school teachers and classmates are chiming in to say there was something seriously wrong with him. The first wife figured it out and took off. It is kind of hard to believe he stayed off police radar until the FBI investigations in 2013?

That’s right! Signaling methodology allows for changing tactics which puts security back to square one.

I cringe eveytime I hear inside information being broadcast by news agencies provided by sources and causes needless casualties because of tactical adjustments.

Obama and his “see no evil” muzzie policy.

...

At least he isn’t Islamophobic.

FBI was shorthanded — most of them were assigned to Hillary’s filegate.

The list of past incidents is really getting long isn’t it?
He was like a walking neon sign saying “I’m going to go ballistic!”

Maybe the head of security at Disney needs to be hired by the FBI.
