The gunman who opened fire at a gay Florida nightclub last month had complained he was repeatedly taunted for being Muslim in his job as a security guard at a Florida courthouse, according to records released Monday.

Omar Mateen responded to the taunts by telling his co-workers that he had connections to terrorists and a mass shooter, but he later told his bosses he made that up to get them off his back, and the FBI determined he was not a threat.

“I love the United States. The boasting I did it just to satisfy the gang of co-workers who ganged up against me,” Mateen wrote in a letter to his bosses at G4S Secure Solutions, according to the documents released by the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. “I’m 1,000% pure American. … I’m against these terrorists anyone of them.” …

AP presents Mateen’s most-likely-fraudulent claims as fact in the headline.

And we live in an age where terrorist “protesters” can get newspapers to apologize for writing the truth now. Can we get these selfsame newspapers to apologize for all the lies instead?

The FBI was just picking on him for making terrorist threats that he’d admitted to making.

Poor little sh(thead jihadist.

Boo frickin’ hoo, AssPress.

This article details a litany of loud alarms ringing, each begging for attention. The FBI response: “Nothing to see here. Move along.”

The title of the article should be something like, “FBI found excuses to ignore grave risks in Mateen case”.

Awwwwwwwww, poor little diddums had a gripe?

Blaming the so-called “Islamophobes” again?

For the 6,698th time, blaming the victims you Muslim piece of feces?

Flood the media with false claims, make the non-Muslim feel bad that maybe he or she is a “Racist”?? Oh my.

Oh, I forgot, he was a peace-loving man until he was (brace yourselves) “RADICALIZED”. But who radicalized him? It was us, right? We MADE HIM become more extremist there fore we must die, right?

Cut the BS already, vote Trump!

This is a meme issued by the O’muslim brotherhood in the white hut.

‘Don't bully or offend muslims. They're fragile creatures and liable to go off---SJS. Embrace their customs and submit to Islam or else.’

Yeah I am pretty suspicious of his claims too. When somebody casually explains that they lied in one instance, then it seems to lower credibility just a wee bit. Especially if they are talking to people they are allowed to lie to by their religion.

Notice that the Occupitard in the white house doesn’t take the mic to proclaim “don’t backlash” on the police across America anytime there is a “suspected” civil rights case in a police/suspect shooting. Nope, only muslims fear “backlash” attacks.

Just a month ago the pink journalists were backlashing on the Christian conservatives who oppose same sex marriage saying THAT was the basis for the nightclub shooting.

Mateen clearly made up the story about taunts from coworkers. He also lied repeatedly to the FBI.

The FBI concluded that Mateen was not a threat. This was probably done under pressure from the Obama people.

Soon after the FBI determined that Mateen was not a threat, he went into a nightclub in Orlando shouted Allahu Akbar and killed 49 people. During the shooting he pledged his allegiance to ISIS.

The FBI refused to follow up and allowed(or helped) his wife and probable accomplice to “disappear”.

Poor muslim. Forced to kill 50 people like that because of white man’s prejudice. Imagine the anguish he must have went through.

Obama to dead cops: admit you are wrong and you’ll be safer from black shooters who are not motivated by hatred towards whites or cops

Obama to dead gays: you’re the innocent victims of the homophobes who incited the mentally ill attacker who was not motivated by islam

Is there some way we can force them to remove the word Press from their name?

We need to understand his rage, examine what the root causes are, and change our society to accommodate these immigrants of bright promise who make America stronger with their diversity.
