The FBI has found no evidence so far that Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people and wounded more than 53 at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, chose the popular establishment because of its gay clientele, said U.S law enforcement officials.

“While there can be no denying the significant impact on the gay community, the investigation hasn’t revealed that he targeted pulse because it was a gay club,” a U.S. law enforcement official said.

It really doesn't matter one way or another what the FBI says at this point. They are utterly corrupt and completely hapless.

BTW, anybody seen the muzzloid's fellow terrorist wife lately?

So, let's get this straight: the FBI will doggedly pursue a woman who shows people how to properly scoop melon-balls or craft florets out of butter if she lies to them, but it will not bestir itself to charge a suspect with a history of demonstrably violent intentions.

Alas, poor ol' Martha was not part of a Protected Class awash with legions of Social Justice Warriors who could pressure Uncle Sugar.

So why did he target this particular club which is reportedly almost 2 hours out of his way?

The likelihood that someone in a gay bar, chock full of liberals, would be packing a gun is extremely low. Just sayin'.

Who believes the uber-politicized Keystone Kops any more? Not me - I’d have to look up and verify it if the FBI told me that the sky was blue.

THIS is what corruption does, it rots faith in government. The irony is that this was largely accomplished by the party of government - you know, the ones who think that a jackass is a great symbol. Well, guys and gals (and whatevers), you corrupted our society and our government, now we don’t believe ANYTHING that you say. Go F yourselves!

In the name of political correctness the FBI is squandering years of good will built up since their founding.

I for one no longer believe anything the FBI has to say on any subject. They have shown that they will bend to their political masters. It may have always been that way but they have not been so obvious before.


^^^^^^ THIS!

I think he expected to get away. There was someone out the back door. I think he was not alone.

Don’t worry. The investigation is still young.

By the end of it, FBI will still be unsure about his exact motives but will, at the same time, somehow be absolutely, positively sure that the attack had nothing to with Islam.

The FBI’s self-shred of its credibility continues. Shame, real shame.

I swear that I didn’t even read your post...but still came up with the “if they told me the sky was blue...” meme. I guess that proves that great minds think alike. :>)

He didn’t target it because it was a gay club, although he had been a regular for years.

He didn’t target it because of Islam (although he was Muslim and had been to the aggressive preaching of the local mosque).

He just snapped.

Riiiight.

Ok.

Islam will do, as a reason.

The FBI investigative team needs help from Barney Fife.

The current FBI couldn’t find its ass with two hands and a map.
