Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

Does anyone know why the writer/Business Insider keeps referring to Omer Matem as the “suspected shooter” instead of “the shooter” or “dead shooter”?

I know about the legal use of the word “suspected”, “reported”, “alleged” etc. but they had not been adjudicated as the actual person who did something (usually a crime).

With selfies and phone calls etc from Matem literally bragging about what he was doing, does there have to be a legal ruling that he was the shooter, whether he is dead or alive?

The fact that the police killed him in a gun battle is a good hint that he was the only shooter ( plus gunpowder residue on his hands and clothes; weapons in his possession or next to him while other dead had none; weapons used registered to him; fingerprints on weapons and bullets; multiple eye-witness accounts; maybe even videos/photos of him in action, etc).

Just asking because I’ve see the word “suspected” used even when the perp is captured alive with weapons in their hands at the scene of a crime. Suspect it is an old legal protection term, now outdated.

I don’t believe it. I need more than hearsay. I think it’s disinfo because Trumps response was devastating. Throw a little smoke, spin a few mirrors and toss some flash powder and viola — no longer about radical islamic terror. It’s about a repressed homosexual driven by America’s intolerance to LGBT people spurned out by it’s fanaticism about guns, which tipped him over the edge.

Solution? We must be more tolerant of gays and ban firearms. ://

I think the Dad drove him to do it. Water board his ass.

Methinks that given the info he was trying to redeem himself.

He scouted his target. This is no surprise, eh?

I look at it the opposite way. If he’s homo it takes the homo killing aspect out and he’s a radical Islamic terrorist killing Americans, period.

How do we know he wasn’t simply casing his targets?

Perhaps even luring some in, hoping maybe they could be his individual targets for abuse.

who cares. He committed evil terror for Allah, for “Iss-lamb,” as they pronounce it.

ABSOLUTELY. this feeds their narrative tremendously that it was guns and good old American hatred of gays that caused this

I have asked why he chose that club. This makes sense.

It’ll take a bit more before I’ll believe it. A whole lot of trolls on 4Chan keep live accounts on a variety of sites ready to change the moment that a big story breaks.

As I said, how do we know he wasn’t just contemptuously casing his targets?

Ever hear of “know thine enemy”?

Even the 9/11 guys got involved in some immoral stuff before going off on the biggest ambush ever.
