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 used to work with a gay guy and one day he told me that after work he was going to some pro Palestinian rally. I asked him why he would do that, as the Muslims hate gays and they would kill them when they are finished using them as stooges. He actually thought about it and said I had a good point.

I see the spin taking shape: the MSM will attempt to peel away the shooter’s anti-gay views from his Muslim faith, thus rendering the killer indistinguishable from Christians who oppose such things as gay marriage. So we’ll be told the killings had nothing to do with “true” Islam and have more in common with Christian “homophobia.”

IF YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NEWS SINCE YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING YOU HAVE JUST SEEN MASS MEDIA CHANGE THE STORY OF A NATIONAL ATTACK RIGHT BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES.
What went from obvious terrorism even according to the FBI and a US Congressman will now be a hate crime because the shooter saw two men kissing. Even Fox is reporting the two men kissing AS IF IT WERE A FACT.. No follow up questions are even asked or warranted such as when did the kissing occur, who witnessed it with the shooter, etc. unbelievable but predictable.

They will make this all about guns and homophobia, instead of terrorism.

Indy Pride going on now. Parade was yesterday.

Didn’t the President declare June “Gay Pride Month”?

... and didn’t Loretta Lynch just proclaim that the White House is now draped in a Rainbow Flag?

I saw 2 men locked in an embrace while standing on the sidewalk beside a busy street. It didn’t make me angry, it made me laugh because they looked ridiculous.

The story right now (due to change) is that he was under FBI watch for a number of years and then the ‘case’ was closed. The dumbing down of all our institutions continue...

Earlier I saw a report that he went to Afghanistan for weapons training and he’s a registered democrat.

Workplace misunderstanding brought about by climate change, nothing to do with Islam

You really meant to say that he just needed a job, right? Isn't that the left's mantra about terror attacks...they just need jobs?

The Muslims were very tolerant of gays for centuries until they came over here and we’re influenced by gay hating white Christians that love guns. So round us up and get rid of Christians and guns.

Horseshirt.

Obama was advised to not release Moslem terrorists because it would be a sign of weakness and invite more Moslem terrorist attacks.

But no, Obama thinks that he’s smarter than the rest of the world combined, so he’s been bust golfing and releasing Moslem terrorists from Guantanamo.

So now we have a Moslem terrorist attack in Orlando, not Miami.

Isn’t Orlando the family vacation spot?

This massacre belongs to Obama.

"I saw 2 men locked in an embrace while standing on the sidewalk beside a busy street. It didn’t make me angry, it made me laugh because they looked ridiculous."

I oppose homosexuality for reasons of natural law and Christian faith, but I agree there is also the aesthetic angle: homosexuality is simply bad art, ridiculous, tacky. Feminists used to say "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." Well, for me, men marrying men is like fish riding bicycles.
