Omar Mateen, the man who opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing at least 50 people and injuring dozens more, had become angered after seeing two men kissing in downtown Miami, his father has told NBC News. (more)

The father, speaking to NBC News on late Sunday morning, apologized for his son's actions and said he was in shock. "We apologize to everyone. I am so sorry. I lost a son. They lost sons. All of these people are my family," he was quoted as saying.

The father added that Mateen had become very angry after he saw two men kissing in downtown Miami two months ago. The father said he believes that incident may have led to his actions, according to NBC News.

So his son see’s something that upsets him in Miami and decides to display his anger and take out revenge in a city that is over 200 miles away? Something very strange about his story.

The same degenerate leadership in America that is gung-ho for importing these Muslim slime is also the same degenerate leadership that has been celebrating and transforming the entire country into a faggoty cesspool.

This whole idiotic incident is well-deserved by the scumbag leadership that cultivated it.

The liberals will probably blame guns, and ignore that this is terrorism, and ignore that the target was a homosexual themed venue.

Oh yeah? If the Imam is out of the country, then stay out. If he’s already here, then get the hell out. That goes for all Muslims. That’s called “Muslim Control.”

Safe bet. White Traditional America is always the scapegoat.

How quaint, this guy has been coached in what to say.

I find it amazing how quickly the left gets hold of the narrative for tv. It takes a lot of control to accomplish this.

Excellent point. I would bet that this terrorist is part of a larger, coordinated plan, and that Orlando was chosen because it is a tourist haven. Even though they didn’t attack a theme park or something like that (yet), the fact it was Orlando certainly creates extreme unease in anyone contemplating vacationing there.

Thanks for the link ... but the father also says it’s not Islam, it’s homophobia. Which then falls bacon “gun violence”.

It should be interpreted as a Muslim adhereing to Islam.

It wasn't the two men kissing...it was his religion. Stop spinning, unnamed father. Oh and you're sorry? Sorry he didn't get a higher kill ratio?

So, I wonder how it is the jihadi happened to see men kissing? In a HOLLYWOOD movie perhaps? TV shows? In the street? How about all of the above?

I wonder if the same leftist culture that cautions us against depicting Muhammad in cartoons, will now call for a ban on the now ubiquitous in-your-face displays in the name of advancing the gay agenda?

Huh?

Because all of us bring guns and kill people when we are angered!

Well, actually, my religion teaches me NOT to kill those I am angry with. Wonder if the shooter is a religious man and what his religion is. Huh? Islam? Surprise, surprise!

Okay, here’s the problem media:

I already figured you’d try to spin it this way - after all noting that the weekday spin crews are not in yet. But his name and background got out too fast, and Real Americans have DVR’s and recorders, and doing a lot more fact checking that you media pukes are doing right now.

We were warned of attacks in June by Team Jihad.

Not to worry, folks. When the A-teams in media get to work on Monday, they’ll start spinning this toward Trump (will come up with some way that his rhetoric caused this).

No cat, no bag. It’s all about evil guns. GLBT and moose-limbs are both vicitms. That’ll be the spin.
