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.

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 Saudi check cleared.

Once again, libs have favored groups conflicting with each other.

Which group will win thier defense?

I pick Moslem, because they are the perps, and must be protected from backlash by horrible cruel Americans.

Hope this does;t get scrubbed or disappear.

It's an election year... this is already being spun as a hate crime... "right-wing homophobes".

Here’s my dilemma: what’s worse? Being a DEMon or being a jihadist?

Did we expect his family to say anything other than this?
Those who believe this load of s$&@ deserve to be locked up for insanity.

OK.

Let me know what you'd like to do about it.

In the meantime, I'm signing off for a few minutes while I go post a rainbow flag and a "We're All Gay Now" message on my Facebook page.

I interpreted his idiot remarks as “we’re all responsible”.

America now not only countenances sexual deviancy, it teaches its children to celebrate sexual deviancy.

At the same time America is also importing huge numbers of Muslims, pretending that their religious and political worldview just doesn’t matter.

What could possibly go wrong?

Not necessarily. His anger at the sight was taught by his Islamic values, as was his response thereto.
They’ll try to spin it, but not get very far that way.

Well, as a sitting pol, he’s certainly partially responsible. Me and you? Not so much.

Have to wonder if he’s gay, but guilt-ridden about it and in his thinking, trying to make amends.

I know homosexuals are going to be deeply affected by this horrible event. I hope that they are able to see clearly that their privacy and safety are in danger until America recognizes the enemy.

Good on you. At least you’re consistent in your tackiness. Not much I can do, you really can’t fix someone else’s trashiness

That was a photo on a news site. I suspect they indicate links to larger photos.
