The Orlando Horror and Hard Truths
townhall.com ^ | 6/13/2016 | Guy Benson

The Orlando massacre is sickening and frightening. It's sickening on its face: Dozens of innocent people were shot to death by a remorseless, merciless fanatic on Saturday night, executed for the 'crime' of carousing with friends at an establishment that caters to a clientele despised by their killer. It's frightening because this horror was not perpetrated by masked men shouting slogans in an unfamiliar tongue thousands of miles away. It wasn't carried out by trained practitioners of terror who hijacked airplanes and targeted symbolic nuclei of American power in wealth. No, like last year's San Bernardino bloodbath, this atrocity unfolded in a mid-sized American city, at the hands of a young U.S.-born American citizen. Fact will be separated from fiction in the days to come, as details are clarified and leads chased down. What seems to be clear at this stage is that Saturday's agent of destruction was a radical Islamist, inspired by ISIS and exhorted to action by instructions to murder and maim as many 'infidels,' particularly during Islam's holy month of Ramadan.

In other words, as the lyin' king put it, "We wish all our muslim buddies a wonderful and peaceful rama lama ding dong". Quit focusing on the tool and focus on the issue. You and your progressive pals.

The Left has to be shtting themselves over this one: just when the Mexican judge nonsense was hitting overdrive, a radical muslim shoots up a gay Hispanic bar.

According to leftists the best way to prevent hateful muslims from killing promiscuous homosexuals is to take the guns away from law-abiding white people.

Makes perfect sense but not really.

Yup, now they have to deal with a prolonged news cycle that they can’t manipulate.

Buzz on Twitter is that there was more than one shooter. Hmmm.

This is not the best time for the 9th Circuit Court to rule against carrying a concealed weapon.

I know not just white people but rather anyone who embraces mainstream American norms and values, but I was trying to be pithy and make the statement as succinct as possible.

I think it was just “Latin Night” and not an hisssss-panic gay bar. Hmmm. So you can have “latin night” but at some colleges and universities you can’t wear a sombrero. WTH? Guess you can’t order tacos either.

The uneasy pact between Terrorism and Queerdom is for the purpose of destroying Western culture. The queers, of course, are late to realizing they are in their Ally’s crosshairs.””

Exactly. Both groups have done irreparable damage to America and both are forces of hate and change, just like BO promised.

For the 9th circus, any time is a good time to rule against constitutional rights.

Hard truth: islam is the inspiration and justification for this. No one who believes in it should be allowed into this country.

Dozens of innocent people were shot to death...

Innocent? Not in God's eyes. THAT IN NO WAY ENDORSES THE ACTION OF THE MUSLIM SAVAGE.

So, trying to determine the proximate cause of this massacre is “thumb sucking”?

And we have to give more to the homosexuals?

Hardly.

The murderer called and said he supported our nation’s enemies. He didn’t call to say he hated homosexuals.

The murderer yelled “Allah Akbar!”. He didn’t yell “Death to homosexuals!”

This murderer was bent on killing Americans. He found a place where they were unarmed and packed together.

The writer is just as clueless as the Left in promoting the fantasy that Islam is NOT the root of the problem, just some hypothetical radical sect within Islam. Well it is a radical sect that comprises only the miniscule 100% of Islam that is violent and bigoted.

Whenever there are a lot of bullets flying, people think they see or hear more than one shooter if there is only one. That doesn’t mean that there was only one, but the witness does not really support that possibility. It is the nature of the situation. All you hear is then noise and it seems to be all around you. You see flashes of muzzle blast and sparks from strikes against metal and lights flaring as they are smashed.

Moslems “stand with the Moslems” when things get ugly.

A homosexuals’ club is “unarmed and packed together” and that particular denographic is much less likely to include one or two people who are armed regardless of the law. In any sizable group of hetero people in such a venue, a couple will be armed, gunfree zone or no, permit or no. A homosexual club is ideal for mass murder. It may now become less so.
