$9,000 worth of jewelry days before attack Published June 21, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook487 Twitter276 Email Print

The Orlando nightclub terrorist Omar Mateen reportedly brought nearly $9,000 worth of expensive jewelry less than a week before committing the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

According to ABC News, Mateen made the purchase at a Kay Jewelers on June 6 in Jenson Beach. The store is located near the Lotus Gun Shop where Mateen was turned away after seeking to buy bulk ammunition and heavy-duty body armor.

Signet, which owns the jewelry store, didn’t confirm Mateen’s purchase but did say they were "working closely" with authorities in their investigation into the shooter.

Employees at the gun shop declined to sell Mateen anything after seeing him engage in suspicious behavior, The Wall Street Journal reported last week.

Robbie Abell, the Lotus Gun Shop’s co-owner, told The Journal that Mateen spoke on the phone in a Middle Eastern-sounding language and was repeatedly texting on his phone.

"[He] just seemed very odd,” Abell said. “The questions he was asking were not the normal questions a normal person would be asking."

"If something is suspicious, it’s our discretion,” Abell said. “We are the gatekeeper."

It’s not like he’s going to actually pay for it.

Good luck to his credit card company.

If he paid in cash, it was a premeditated attempt to convert his cash to something his wife could escape to another country with and convert to the local currency. And of course the federal gov’t let her go.

Well he ain’t worried about paying the bill. Suicide by cop? And, will we ever know how many of the victims were hit by friendly fire?

Why pay cash if you have plastic and you are going to be dead next week?

Another mass murder committed by the elite, licensed and approved.

Another was a county health department official.

Another yet had a degree in government administration.

Then there was the PhD. candidate to be a brain surgeon, the son of a big, global corporate officer,...

Loose diamonds are small, can get through metal detectors, and are valuable anywhere.

Yeah, that was what i was thinking....via Kay...it was probably 40-percent over-valued. The other thing is sales tax....that’s at least $450 that went that direction.

Here is an aside from local news in Chicago. ABC Chicago reported that a Puerto Rican gay guy claims that he and another gay guy had a two month physical relationship with Jihadi Omar and that the other gay guy had Aids. ABC Chicago then claims that is the reason for the attack on Pulse not terrorism. Yesterday, there was no reporting of the Obama Regime redacting the ISIS connection. For that matter all local news here in Chicago minimizes the ISIS connection.
