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.

I believe there is a reason why they are not putting the father on camera . . . one look at him and we’ll probably know why the son shot up the club . . . he is a terrorist.

.... Today just happens to be the anniversary of the Gay Riots in Greenwich Village and it is also the day of the Gay Pride Parade in West Hollywood CA these may have some significance of the date picked for the attack.

"Mateen had become very angry after he saw two men kissing in downtown Miami two months ago.">

Another excuse for the terrorist...this man took the lives of others and should be given a trial, appeals, room and board in some prison?? No Way...Stand up America, this terrorist has no excuse; he deserves exactly the same sentence he gave all those he shot.

Mateen should be given the death sentence just a quickly as he gave it to others.

Because the practioners of the ROP are so tolerant

To me this just underscores the irrationality of Islam ....what idiot decides that I will kill people I don’t know because they violated my sensibilities?

The Ramadan jihad is in full swing. Buckle your seat belts. It will get worse

Disney World Gay Days 2016: May 31-6 June.

We avoid Orlando all of June. I don’t hate gays, but I don’t like exposing my kids to PDA, regardless of orientation.

Precisely because the ROP doesn’t use knives or bombs.

What a jack hole. I wonder how often that so called preacher advocated for sharia law

But the dad already said it was because he saw two men kissing .I’m sure the dad will clarify his misstatement in the near future.
“He was clearly grief stricken & meant to say that his son went ballistic because he heard Trump say he wants to ban Muslims”

He is a product of hateful Christian America, that refuses to accept Homo superiority.

This is one of those aspects of “multiculturalism” that the morons running this country haven’t yet figured out how to deal with.

I don’t see how it can be interpreted otherwise, with Isis murdering dozens of homosexuals in the name of Islam.
