The man police say killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday morning had visited the club at least a dozen times before carrying out his attack, a witness told the Orlando Sentinel on Monday.
The suspected shooter, 29-year-old Omar Mateen, may have also used several different gay dating apps, according to reports from MSNBC and the Los Angeles Times....
An Orlando man told MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Monday that he had seen photos of Mateen on the gay dating apps Grindr, Adam4Adam, and Jack'd over the last several years. At least two of the man's friends had been contacted by Mateen on the apps....

The billionaire blow horn isn’t going to let the media change narrative.
Yes indeed but it is important that the narrative be changed from Islamic terrorist attack to closeted gay slaughtering others because of his hypocrisy and the Christian Right.
Yes, there was almost immediately a “we are at fault” - the “we” being of course middle America, and the problem is a generalized “hate” (middle America) and “the wrong sort of people can get guns” (middle America again). And just to bring up the inconvenient fact that the shooter had terrorist ties proves you are a “hater.”
Do gays really think that basking in victimhood and ignoring Islam will make them safer?
Truth is always important.
I agree, haven’t been watching too much TV, but from what I have seen, it is all about gays and guns.... izlam, not so much... sigh.
America first paid the price for importing cheap slave labor from Africa to work on the plantations, and now America is paying the price for importing muzzies by the millions.
The use of the word “alleged” regarding someone suspected or even taken in as a suspect is a legal device to keep from getting sued. I know because I had to use it several times even thought there was no doubt that the person talked about had committed the offense.
Only when a person is “convicted” can you use the term ‘the perpetrator’, the “killer”, etc. That is a legal issue.
A friend of mine made a basic error in the way he described a lawyer and his relationship to a Communist Party USA “front”. Instead of writing that Joe Blow was a member of a congressionally cited CPUSA legal front, he left out the protective shield of “congressionally cited” or “congressionally identified”.
The person he was talking about was a hardcore, almost psychotic leftist attorney who jumped on my friend with a major defamation/slander lawsuit, and almost won. I believe it was settled out of court.
The leftist attorney was indeed a member of a congressionally cited CPUSA legal front, but my friend described him as a member of the Communist Party or words to that affect. That was a major No-No as we say in the legal field.
I’ve had nuts from both the Far Right and Far Left and radical Islamic movements threaten to sue me for defamation but when I told them to do it, they backed off because they knew that I had the documentation to prove it, and that I would have loved to have brought out all the bad stuff on them in a public court.
We have to be careful with how we describe someone as they are just waiting for us to make a mistake so that they can sue.
All true.
I was writing about the knee-jerk insertion of the words when it makes no sense.
Let us say a bank robbery has taken place. No suspect is in custody. Journalists will still say that the “suspect”—i.e., the robber—”allegedly” did X, Y, and Z, when the robber is on video doing X, Y, and Z.
“It rips my heart out that conservatives NEVER thought of buying major networks.”
It was tried.

so what the heck?!?!
I’ve suggested that on here several times.
I would invest in a startup network or try to gain majority in a current one.
But of course i have pennies compared to what’s needed.
We need a rich, strong, conservative to lead the way.
