It’s impossible to think about Pulse without remembering the horrible events of 12 June 2016. But Pulse was also a home. Obviously the night that the tragedy happened is emblazoned in my memory for ever, but it’s the beautiful, joyful times that stick with me.
On June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old man, killed 49 people and wounded 53 more in a mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, United States. Orlando Police officers shot and killed him after a three-hour standoff.
In a 9-1-1 call made shortly after the shooting began, Mateen swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and said the U.S. killing of Abu Waheeb in Iraq the previous month "triggered" the shooting. He later told a negotiator he was "out here right now" because of the American-led interventions in Iraq and in Syria and that the negotiator should tell the United States to stop the bombing. The incident was deemed a terrorist attack by FBI investigators.
Yep definitely sounds like a MAGA Republican

Yup—and the perp in the new case is “non binary”—does not sound like MAGA....
Leftists howl in pain as they commit mass murders.

To: artichokegrower
Can he explain the motive of a nonbinary persons hate towards the alphabet community, i.e., in Colorado Springs?

If this idiot was swinging the other way, there would be no coverage in the press.

The fag community should call them who they are: “murderous muzzie”(SPIT!) and “fellow fag”.

Step 1: Please provide examples of “anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric”.
Step 2: Please provide NAMES and POLITICAL GROUP ASSOCIATIONS of the source of this rhetoric.
Step 3: Please provide evidence of DIRECT violent influence on the gunman (gun-they?) involved in the Colorado shooting.
Until this DIRECT connection can be established, you just fulla sh!t, son.

Yes but he had a great uncle who was a Republican, so obviously his behavior is not his fault, but rather the fault of Donald Trump. This is “science.”

The approved narrative is quickly getting a bit creaky. No matter; media will just ignore the facts and continue to push the lie
