Omar Mateen, Terrorist Who Attacked Orlando Gay Club, Had Been Investigated by FBI
Daily Beast ^ | June 12, 2016 | Michael Daly, Justin Miller and Kate Zavadski

Mateen was a 'known quantity' to federal law enforcement before he killed 53 people in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

Omar Mateen of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, came to the attention of federal authorities twice prior to being identified as the gunman in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting, a senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.

The senior law enforcement source reports that Mateen became a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014. The Federal Bureau of Investigation at one point opened an investigation on Mateen but subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.

"He's a known quantity," the source said. "He's been on the radar before."

The gunman is said by the source to have been born in New York and to have been married for a time to a woman from New Jersey. His father, Seddique Mateen, appears to reside in Florida, but is said to be presently running for office in Afghanistan.

Shoots and kills 53; wounds 100 homosexuals. FBI knows he’s a terrorist. He gets an AR-15 and a pistol (legal or illegal?). He’s pi$$ed off at two men kissing. In a homosexual bar. What the F&*k was he doing there in the first place?

Fishy doesn’t begin to describe the smell.

I disagree. Democrats do it all the time for their advantage. Trump has to grab this by the horns and point out that this happened on Obama’s watch. Repub just sit and take it all the time. Time for a change.

My thoughts, too. Wonder if he’s been in the bar before. It would seem it would be part of a plan...

How come he still has a special gun license, though it probably would not have mattered.

He wasn’t known. Its a lie to try to make people believe they can control the evil situation this govt has created.

Funny how most terrorists were "on a watchlist", but the FBI does nothing but WATCH as they kill.

“If we lose this election, it’s over folks.”

Yes, it's that serious! Our very existence is on the line, and we have Romney and his band of Mormon A$$holes clucking from his multimillion dollar digs in Deer Valley, Utah about Donald Trump being akin to Hitler and Mussolini! EFF all of them! They are Anti-American to their core, because it is all about the retention of control of our country at whatever cost they deem necessary. We are at the point where the French were when they started using the guillotine to correct what was wrong with their country. These charlatans need to be held to account for their rape of our country for their own selfish gain.

What? The facts are being twisted as it is. Trump needs to get the truth out.

Of course the “investigation” produced nothing.

The USGOV is Islam’s fiercest defender. USGOV brings them here as fast as they can and then they support them.

It is BY DESIGN.

Now, if you REALLY want to see a government enforcement action, just google the last guy to leave bacon on a mosque door handle or shout something ‘offensive’.

Now being billed as the worst mass shooting in American history...until next time.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, the FBI “investigation” of Hitlery Cliton.

Does the bible specifically condemn homosexuality?

The Koran goes one step further, it orders Muslims to kill homosexuals.

IIRC one of their imams just said that it was okay for their fighters to engage in homosexual sex if their engaged in Jihad.

But its interesting that our government is in the process of kicking two combat soldiers out of the army for stopping som Afghani guy from raping a young boy.
