WATCH: Brooklynites Say Orlando Was ‘100 Percent the Republicans’ Fault
Townhall.com ^ | June 17, 2016 | Cortney O'Brien

Omar Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS while he opened fire on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando last weekend, proving his attack was borne out of radical Islam.

Yet, if you ask some bystanders in Brooklyn, they’ll tell you the gunman’s rampage had nothing to do with religion. That’s what filmmaker Ami Horowitz found when he asked New Yorkers who was to blame for Sunday’s stark death toll.

“I don’t think it had much to do with Islam, to be honest,” said one Brooklynite.

“I don’t think it was a terrorist,” said another.

Republicans and guns played a much larger role in the carnage, they argued.

“One hundred percent the Republicans.”

“Guns way more than Islam – way more.”

Political correctness never ceases to amaze.

I think a lot of this comes from parents in suburbia who raise their little snowflakes to expect the world to pave their way with gold. When it doesn’t, they become bitter and resent the mainstream and think they are entitled to hate the adult world where nothing is easy and nothing is handed to them.

Geez, Greg - you’re almost as stoopid as a New Yorker...

Looks like we found the guy that did the striptese at the Libertarian convention. I see he is cutting and pasting his replies. A real history scholar no doubt.

When the nuke goes off, I hope it’s NYC.

Lord forgive me.

So is it open borders that you like most about Johnson’s positions, or is your vote simply about legalizing pot? I take it that you’re the sort who doesn’t care about the Supreme Court at all either (or about stabbing conservatives in the back for that matter). Have fun with all the disgruntled Bernie bots voting for the anti-national sovereignty libertarians.

Isn’t Brooklyn somewhere in the vicinity of New York City?

You know, the place where muslim terrorists brought down the World Trade Center towers?

Unreal....

Lol, what can you do....I live in New England. Though there are conservatives here, but yes, I work with some real winners.

Most of them I wouldn’t call Brooklynites, just mostly transplants or doing their couple of years in New York so they can go on to bore everyone where they’re really from with their New York stories for the rest of their lives. But idiots all.

“...there are conservatives here, but yes, I work with some real winners.”

I used to be in your shoes, back when I was still someone else’s employee twenty years ago.

Funny enough, I didn’t really get my political bearings until I struck out on my own and started a business. I didn’t see the true corrosive contagion of liberal thought in the workplace until I’d been gone a couple of years.

I’m so set in my conservative ways now, I could never survive that environment today. I probably wouldn’t last a week.

I used to the nonsense. I’ve lived in the northeast all my life. I’m very reserved at the workplace, so all this noise goes in one ear & out the other. The people I work with just assume everyone in the workplace is a liberal....they have little to no self-awareness. They are comfortable & not too strident, but some of them are so stupid politically that, at times, it boggles the mind.

The left is always quick to have knee jerk reactions before facts are revealed. It happened in Britain too with the murder of the MP.

Nice tag line. I see there are still a few “Trump Is Hitler” types around.

If I still lived there... ten to one that any interview with me wouldn’t have been used for this story.

It doesn’t push the narrative, yanno.

As a born and raised New Yorker, ONE neighborhood in Brooklyn DOES not reflect 8 million people!!!

One can get a completely different response if one had an interview in a blue collar neighborhood in Queens, a Chinese neighborhood in Brooklyn or out on Staten Island.

As the orthodox Jews what THEY think of the Allah Worshiper and watch THEIR response!!
