Mr. Abell added that the store had been given a “heads up” earlier by law-enforcement authorities to be on the lookout for “suspicious people.” Mr. Abell wouldn’t specify which authorities.
This raises a few questions...
Was the "head's up" specific to Mateen?
If not, was a non-specific warning given because they knew Mateen was looking to buy guns in the area?
What did the unnamed "Law-Enforcement Authorities" know, and when did they know it?
The local sheriff's office responded saying they were unaware of the incident but ....
“....other local authorities, including the local FBI office, have not responded to ABC News’ requests for comment.
The FBI is aware of and is investigating Mateen’s visit to Lotus, officials said...”
That alone leads me to believe the gun shop owner is telling the truth. The feds dropped the ball for whatever reason and as a result 49 people died and 50 were injured. This was not an isolated incident.
-Two ‘inconclusive” investigations.
-His father's support of the Taliban
-Two trips to Saudi Arabia. There was an article on the DailyMail discussing those trips and how unusual it was for a man his age to make 2 trips in such a short period of time.
-Complaints by co-workers.
Alleged beatings of his ex-wife.
-Disney notifying authorities in April.
-Not to mention the red flags we are unaware of.
But look at the headline. “Orlando Shooter Raised Suspicion at Gun Shops.” Look at the lie by omission.
The headline for the WSJ and every other Media outlet should be:
“GUNSHOP OWNER ALERTED AUTHORITIES BEFORE THE MASSACRE. IN SPITE OF THIS AND OTHER RED FLAGS THE FEDS FAILED TO ACT AND MATEEN MASSACRED”
That is the story. I am sickened by the way the whores have cheapened the lives of those who were murdered in the name of gun control.
