In the early morning hours of June 12, 2016, Tiara Parker of Philadelphia was out on the town – but this wasn’t just any night out.
She was inside the Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, a place that would become the scene of a mass shooting terrorist attack by 29-year-old Omar Mateen.
On that night, 49 people were murdered and another 58 were wounded in what has been called the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.
Parker was with U.S. Sen. Bob Casey in Ardmore Monday morning, speaking on what has become an important issue for her over the past year.
“There’s a reason why I am here,” Parker said as she spoke beside Casey to a couple of dozen people at Bethel AME Church of Ardmore. “There’s a job for me to get done.”
Parker and Casey were at the church to announce legislation that would prevent people convicted of a hate crime from purchasing or possession guns.

See? Democrats simply cannot learn or be reasoned with. Hopeless.
They’ll do well as slaves to their moslem allies.

From your lips to God’s ears.
Yeah, this will make sense. Stupid liberals. Let’s disarm so they can kill more of us.
YEP !
This is the time to stick it to the Dems and stomp on them.
Of course, there’s a REASON the GOP is called “The Stupid Party”, so don’t get your hopes up.
But.... we DID get Trump elected, so we’ll see.
I seem to recall that Omar Mateen had an arrest record for getting into a fight as a teen. He passed all background checks to legally purchase the guns he used to commit mass murder. He was even a licensed security guard.
Who’s planning to run against this fool in 2018?
This terrorist attack has been gay-jacked and reframed as something that it never was. I am sorry that it happened but the Orlando Cops did a horrible job - in fact, they didn’t even do their job, IMO.
It is interesting to note that the black church people in Charleston (the ones killed by nutjob Dylan Roof) have not been lionized to the heights of the dead Pulse clubbers.
Yes, the gun-grabbers will stoop to the lowest levels and use any dead body and any emotional angle they can to promote their lies.
And even IF this thing had been law there is no reason to believe it would have saved a single life.
There are way to many unanswered questions about this as well.
Idiot. Useful fool.
Not criticizing you, but the reports that Pulse was just a gay night club are media fake news BS.
It was about 50% gay, but is was also the best Latin music in town. Nestor Torres was there one night and it was hyper-overcrowded.
The perp’s calls to OPD were all anti-American, not anti-gay.
The anti-gay slant is/was all media fake news BS.
No more misdemeanor conviction bars. Period. Not a effing chance. Fact is, felons that have earned their right to be free shouldn’t be barred either.
Thanks, sounds like you live in the area.
I live in the area. I know people who lost friends. I am friends with an OPD officer - he plays in the church band I sing in. The head of surgery at ORMC is part of our homeschool group. I’m pretty sure this thing really happened.
So was Omar Mateen convicted of a hate crime?
We’re in O’do.
Know it sounds weird but our Chiropractor’s office is next door to Pulse.
Be well.
And the liberals will determine what a “hate crime” is.
Liberals would decide that anything derogatory said against Muslims would be a hate crime.
Are you kidding? Muslims are the preferred class among liberals. Muslims over homosexuals.
