PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., June 22 (Reuters) - On the morning before the massacre at Orlando's Pulse gay nightclub, shooter Omar Mateen drastically altered his appearance, shaving his head and face, and seemed agitated and surly, said an acquaintance who saw him that day.

Mateen also talked about staying up all night to do online research into anti-psychosis medication, the acquaintance said in a interview. The acquaintance requested anonymity, saying authorities had asked him to keep quiet.

The 29-year-old gunman, who killed 49 people and wounded 53 in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, called himself an "Islamic soldier" and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group before being fatally shot by police after a three-hour siege.

The FBI would not comment on the acquaintance's remarks, but several senior U.S. sources told Reuters the investigation was moving more toward the belief that Mateen's motives were personal rather than political....

..."It looks increasingly like this may have been the act of a seriously troubled individual whose personal problems dwarfed any last-minute inspiration from radical groups," said a senior U.S. official familiar with the investigation, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Mateen said he was worn out from staying up all night to research psychiatric medication, although he did not say he was taking specific drugs.

"He'd been real worried about whether or not he'd slipped into psychosis," the acquaintance said. "He wasn't as friendly. He was obsessed with researching medication online.".....

Just like Zero doesn’t need to give in person, specific marching orders to Lynch or Lois Lerner. The reason they got the job was because they KNOW what to do without being told. Well, libtards, have a nice 8 years. Sauce, goose, gander and all!

They will spin this anyway & every way they can for every advantage.

Another example, there have been no encryption issues for the feds as they “reconstruct” Mateen’s life.

Mark my words, the day will come when this will be used as an example of why back doors into every encrypted device is essential to national security.

The fact that he was shouting Allahu Akbar while killing dozens of people had nothing to do with it.

smh

Yes, and a deadly cognitive dissonance resulted from that queer mix of association.

Muslim murderers are good for journalism jobs. If he’d been a Christian white male they would have known all the interesting details in minutes and not have weeks of research and reporting to do.

My best bet is Palestine based on an article which said “She’s one of us.”

Another false meme to take the spotlight off of radical Islam.

Jihadists often shave their heads and beards before a suicide mission.

Resist the renarrativization!

That is because we use more than 1 brain cell. LIVs, not so much.

Only copy of full death certificate I have seen-the others have been cut off at the bottom

Bare bones only. No time or cause of death.

His race is listed as white. LOL! Al Quieda might want to rethink the directive to kill whites only.

Who is going to be in a position to say, “No—he wasn’t researching that online!”

1984 may be a few decades late, but it is here.

This is what the Left does. They’re good at shaping narratives to obscure their failures. The Left has no compunctions about lying and distorting facts to support their agenda.


It’s an art form in which the truth has no part at all.
