ORLANDO, Fla. - Transcripts of 911 calls between Pulse gunman, Omar Mateen and dispatchers were released Friday by the Orlando Police Department.
Three calls were made between Mateen and dispatchers. Mateen called first at 2:35 a.m. June 12. Mateen was in the nightclubs bathroom with several hostages, police said.
Mateen told dispatchers his name and then pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. When dispatchers tried to get more information from him, he said he was in Orlando and hung up, according to the transcripts.
A man identified only as Andy, a crisis negotiator for Orlando police, called Mateen at 2:48 a.m. The negotiator asked where Mateen was so officers could get him help. Mateen refused and said, Tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq. They are killing a lot of innocent people. Mateen repeatedly demand that the U.S. stop its airstrikes, according to the transcripts.

What's going on is that I feel the pain of the people getting killed in Syria and Iraq and all over the Muslim (unidentified word), Mateen said.

Since 9-11 we do not get it. Negociation do not work with these nuts. Hence we go in saying he is not islamist, hence we negociate, hence people die from wounds and additional attacks.
This antigun PC rhetoric of deradicalization Bs is murdering people.
In the 3 hours it took, I could have driven 1.5 hours from Jacksonville and taken out the bastard in half the time.
In that entire article, there's not a single clue to the shooter's motive. That will remain a mystery to investigators.
