Omar Mateen, the man who opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing at least 50 people and injuring dozens more, had become angered after seeing two men kissing in downtown Miami, his father has told NBC News. (more)
The father, speaking to NBC News on late Sunday morning, apologized for his son's actions and said he was in shock. "We apologize to everyone. I am so sorry. I lost a son. They lost sons. All of these people are my family," he was quoted as saying.
The father added that Mateen had become very angry after he saw two men kissing in downtown Miami two months ago. The father said he believes that incident may have led to his actions, according to NBC News.

I saw daddy kissing Santa Claus and so I went out and killed fifty people.

Many, many pics here:
Deport the shooters entire family!
I get very angry when people cut me off in traffic but I just shoot them with a bird.
Agree!
I’m sure Cruz will be happy to explain how “Donald” is to blame.
Definitely: Muslim trumps Gay.
Neah. Jihadis rank higher on the victimology scale these days.
Besides, Gays have done pretty much all the damage to the West that they can do. Jihadis are the up and coming weapons to undermine and destroy Western Civilization.
FReepers seem to think that the two-men-kissing story is an attempt to exculpate Islam. Huh? Who else BUT a Muslim would be angered by two men kissing?
BTW: When is the last time a Christian killed people in a gay nightclub? Ever?
Of course, the Muslims are being imported BECAUSE they are violent.
Oh please. Stop trying to turn it around. Not every criminal is homo.
Oh please, yourself. He murdered 50 gay people. The fact that he is gay is relevant.
The top six American male serial killers were all gay.

I’ve seen two men kissing, I didn’t get angry and go out and kill people but I did get thoroughly disgusted.
“The spin begins”
True, but this puts the left in a bind. If they accept the father’s excuses to try and deflect the blame from Islam, then they’re implicitly accepted his claim that it was a public display of homosexuality that provoked the attack.
It can’t be Islam’s fault, and it can’t be blamed on a public display of homosexuality. What’s a good leftist to do? Dilemmas.
I said this many times and I will say it again, we should have stayed our asses out the ME and got some of our own damned oil elsewhere.
That region has been nothing but trouble.
Very true. And now all of our politicians have been corrupted by ME money - directly into their pockets.
It is a desperate attempt to spin the unspinnable, attributing “it made him angry” without admitting what taught him to get angry about, and how to respond.
Orlando shooting suspect’s father hosted a political TV show
The father of Omar Mateen, identified by police as the man behind the carnage at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday morning, is an Afghan man who holds strong political views, including support for the Afghan Taliban.
Seddique Mateen, who has been referred to as Mir Seddique in early news reports, hosted the “Durand Jirga Show” on a channel called Payam-e-Afghan, which broadcasts from California. In it, the elder Mateen speaks in the Dari language on a variety of political subjects. Dozens of videos are posted on a channel under Seddique Mateen's name on YouTube. A phone number and post office box that are displayed on the show were traced back to the Mateen home in Florida. Mateen also owns a nonprofit organization under the name Durand Jirga, which is registered in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
In one video, Mateen expresses gratitude toward the Afghan Taliban, while denouncing the Pakistani government.
“Our brothers in Waziristan, our warrior brothers in [the] Taliban movement and national Afghan Taliban are rising up,” he said. “Inshallah the Durand Line issue will be solved soon.”
