Trump was correct in his warning and he will do something about this. I speculate that OMAR is Sunni sect and not Shiite. He is also a Wahhabi. All Wahhabi need to be immediately removed from the general population. All Sunnis need to be reviewed for Wahhabi beliefs. This was a celebration of Ramadan by a Wahhabist.

The gunman has turned out to be another Islamic terrorist. I bet this disappoints many on the left who were hoping that it would have been a white Christian that attacked the gay nightclub.

How did he get NYPD gear??

Bought it on the Internet? Anyone can buy a NYPD grey sweatshirt, I seem to remember them being common when I lived in New York. The other shirt looks like a polo shirt, so again not quite a uniform, but could be made up into an approximation I suppose if one was so inclined.

For instance: Ebay NYPD Shirt listing

His father told MSNBC that the shooting was not about his son’s religion, but that his son became very angry after seeing two men kissing in Miami months ago.

So true. I guess I was thinking about their disappointment over what they couldn’t say, Christian, Republican, Trump supporter.

I haven’t heard a single MSM propagandist mention this attack was during ramadan.

Wow. I just went to their site and they are reporting 50 dead.

If so that would make it the biggest mass casualty terrorist attack since 9/11.

I believ3 that ISIS called for terror attacks in America during Ramadan.

Nice way to spend your holy days, eh?

Watch the MSM soft peddle the story and stress a lot of unknowns and the event has nothing to do with terrorism.

.... Today is the Gay Pride day in L.A .... Wonder if there might be a connection? Gays are executed in Muslim countries.

This is the most detail I could find regarding ISIS’s latest US attack threat:

ISIS ‘kill list’ targets Palm Beach, Treasure Coast residents: Ex-FBI agent | KSNV

http://news3lv.com/news/nation-world/isis-kill-list-targets-palm-beach-treasure-coast-residents-ex-fbi-agent

WEST PALM BEACH (CBS12) — A pro-Isis group has released a hit list with the names of more than 8,000 peoplemostly Americans.

More than 600-people live in Florida, and one security expert believes that many of those targeted live in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast.

The “United Cyber Caliphate” that hacked U.S. Central Command, 54,000 Twitter accounts and threatened President Barack Obama is the same pro-Isis group that’s reportedly created a “kill list” with the names, addresses and emails of thousands of civilian Americans.

Reports of the list came to light online when Vocativ reported the list was shared via the encrypted app, Telegram, and called on supporters to kill.

Former FBI agent-turned lawyer Stuart Kaplan says the threat is especially alarming, because the people on this list are civilians who don’t have the security necessary to protect themselves.

“It’s going to create some hysteria,” he said.

Kaplan believes civilians from our community are on the list.

“I would suspect a head of a hospital or, perhaps, a local community leader. Those are the individuals that may appear on the list—or just a local banker or local school teacher—someone who, for some reason, was in the public eye.”

Kaplan is concerned the list will inspire “lone wolf” style attacks.

“If in fact a sympathizer gets ahold of this list and is readily able to identify you as being his neighbor and, then, decides (because they’re a sympathizer) to go out and do something horrific to you, there is no way to calculate the potential or to prevent that.”

The list has not yet been made public.

We reached out to the FBI, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and Martin County Sheriff’s Office to see how credible they view the threat and what action they might be taking.

We are awaiting their response.

According to the Martin County Sheriffs office,the FBI is aware of this and the agency will work closely with the Joint-Terrorism Task Force to keep citizens safe.

Why is Obama NOT going to speak today?

It is a national tragedy.

The one overriding fact we all need to know and remember:

They want to eradicate us, and they will never stop wanting to eradicate us. We need to eradicate them first.

I heard on OAN news that he was slated to speak today and would let facts come out throughout the day.

The only fact I need to know about this sub human is he’s a Muslim.
