Where's his accomplice wife, Loretta?

America can do better, instead of getting distracted by gun control. Never mind the FBI interviewed and gave a pass to shooter multiple times. At some point the public needs to recognize the barrel is rotten and change enforcement management and restaff.

Omar was an idiot. They gave him three hours to get away...

At some point the public has to realize that the government is running psyops against its citizens. This incident fits the pattern perfectly.

Lynch probably put her on a plane to somewhere then says she doesn’t know where she is. I bet she knows where the shooter is though.

Hey, it’s just a bunch of scummy fags.

Not like they’re humans, or anything.

This does not require a conspiracy.

Just indecisive and feckless leaderwship.

As far as the wife, yes, I believe the FBI has conveniently “lost” her, because she would contradict the idea that this was not a Jihadi strike.

When were the feds notified an active shooter referenced Islam & ISIS, making this a terrorist situation?

Important because it could signify exactly when the feds took control of the actions of the responders.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes or hours (and appropriate orders) away.

Arm up, people. Carry wherever you are able to do so, and seriously consider NOT going where you’re not permitted to carry...and then keep working to get that law changed.

This is utterly shameful. Here you had 7 officers on the scene, LITERALLY INSIDE the bar...and then they were told to leave. Someone should not only lose their job, but their pension and benefits. It took SWAT 3 hours to stop this guy - how many people bled to death on the floor of that bar in the last 2 hours and 45 minutes before that?

There are 2 causes for this massacre: Islamic terrorism and rank stupidity. One we can do something about...and the other we obviously can’t fix until it is too late.

Stand Down. Where have we heard this command before which also resulted in the possibly unnecessary loss of American lives?

Cowardice and stupidity.

Or, perhaps the police wanted the gunman to murder as many as possible.

A truly moral policeman would have disobeyed orders and stopped Mateen.

This is a scary example that the police will follow orders not do what is obviously right.

The police official giving the stand in place order should be charged with the deaths of all those who were killed or died for lack of help.

How many more lives were lost due to this extremely bad decision will never be known but even if it was just one... Someone needs to pay dearly for this. Whomever gave the stop order needs to lose his/her job and their pension for complete and total dereliction of duty.

Seems to me that if they are going to tell the patrol officers to await the arrival of SWAT, why do they bother arm them with rifles??

Proves again, when seconds count the police are minutes away.

Too bad they did not engage the POS earlier, perhaps some lives could have been spared.

I just cannot get past the horror of being trapped in a building with a terrorist with a rifle especially. The only good news is they smoked his ass.

Not to Pursue Shooter for “15-20 Minutes”
Remember - when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
