Gun store owner: We called FBI before Orlando shooting
CBS News ^ | June 16,2016

The co-owner of a Florida gun store says his employees contacted law enforcement before the Orlando shooting after gunman Omar Mateen attempted to purchase body armor and ammunition.

Robbie Abell, co-owner of Lotus Gunworks, said Thursday his workers had a gut feeling about Mateen when he came to the store four or five weeks ago.

The store owner must have called the Muslim branch of the FBI by mistake

But, but, but Jeh Johnson was busy warning everyone about “right wing extremists.” It was just too much information for them to handle, especially when the factual real information was ignored.

Clearly the fault of assault weapons and Christians though.

Son of a prominent radical White House visitor, probably the terrorist was on a do not apprehend list.

Disney called, “Hey this guy has visited Disneyworld SIX TIMES in the past year...”

Gun store called.

He beat his wife.

He knew suicide-bombers.

He’d traveled abroad for weapons training.


The guy was a walking, talking EXPLOSION of terrorism evidence.

If they didn’t catch THIS guy, who exactly would they catch?

It is because they see PEOPLE LIKE US as equal threats that they haven’t the time to catch the ones screaming in their face.

NOTHING is wrong with the American people —it is our LEADERSHIP that is completely stupid and behind the times.

The GOPe is complicit in this also...They think of nothing but padding their pockets...I don’t think they realize how fast this is occurring and that if we are taken over, they will be the first to go down...

Read elsewhere the gun store staff contacted the FBI. The PD is one thing, but if they called the FBI for real, that about seals the door on Obama hindering the feds.

Pulse Orlando is Obama’s Katrina, where the authorities dropped the ball and to show they were still relevant then went around, strong-arming the little innocent people.

With Pulse Orlando EVERYONE was doing their job EXCEPT the US government, specifically the top people.

And now Obama, like FEMA contractors in New Orleans, are grabbing the guns of law-abiders.

IT IS THE SAME.

We have the National Security Agency in league with Echelon across the English speaking countries, listening and cataloging our every word in voice and data transmission, yet where have they been effective in stopping one—just ONE-- instance of mass murder? Why are they there? Why? The answer is obvious, they are a worthless agency, only there to perpetuate their existence.

So sorry. I totally read the title poorly and flubbed it. This title said they contacted the FBI.

Why is that when there is a GOP Pres that the blame goes directly to him? But when there is a Dem Pres that the blame goes to someone that works for him??

This gross incompetence (status quo for the establishment) should become Trumps’s number 1 talking point.

“Why are they there? Why? The answer is obvious, they are a worthless agency, only there to perpetuate their existence.”

I suspect they have stopped numerous attempts.

But, aside from that, their usefulness for political surveillance and intelligence is obvious.

You think all the information about who knows what on who is just ignored? Do not be naive.
