Patience Carter went to Orlando with a friend's family on vacation, and ended up one of the few surviving witnesses to the last moments of the worst mass shooting in American history.

The New York-born shooter, Omar Mateen, had two parents from Afghanistan.

Carter said after he hung up the phone, he "started speaking in Arabic," but she said she wasn't sure to whom, and then he had a question for the others cowering in earshot.

“He said that the reason why he was doing this was he wanted America to stop bombing his country,” Carter said.

Some American.

Wouldn’t want to piss of the black prison population now would he? That’s probably the majority of their converts on U.S. soil. Either that or this is BS propaganda so that black people be pissed off at vote for Trump who wants to ban entry to Muslim terrorists.

Putting the savage Muslim extremists against gays and then exempting blacks brings in all 3 of the Democrats victim classes. Thats excepting the poor, though some were probably there too.

What to do?

Blame the guns.

Dave Chapelle mentioned this in his stand-up. Blacks not being useful hostages. Funny the way he explained it.

Shithead was a Radial Islamic Terrorist, the product of a global terrorist network.

Imagine trying to understand the life story of every enemy that ever fought and died against us in war.

What a joke.

This Mateen guy sounds like he has amalgamated/synthesized Leftardism and Islam to its predictable outcome.

The people who coordinated the mission to bomb the state where Mateen was born in 1986, New York, came from the land of his immediate family and ancestors, Afghanistan.

The Left is now trying as hard as they can to spin this guy into a 'closet-case' and homophobic bigot motivated by anything but Islam.

Sounds like more BS from See BS news. Looking at the photos of the victims, he killed 9 blacks. 9 out 49 is 18%. The black population is in the USA is 12% so it seems to me he was gunning for blacks just as much if not more than anyone else.

Another way to put it would be “he targeted white people.”
