(Islamic terrorist) Gunman opens fire at Orlando gay nightclub
New York Daily News ^ | 12 June 2016 | Nicole Hensley

Gunshots rang out at an Orlando, Fla., gay club, striking at least 20 people early Sunday, according to a WESH-TV report. A witness saw what appeared to be one assailant opening fire with a semi-automatic firearm inside the nightclub and another outside the south Orlando venue from a vehicle. “We were just leaving the club and we started hearing the shots,” clubber Anthony Torres told the Daily News. “Everyone was running and screaming.”

I think there is little doubt the shooter targeted the bar because it was a gay bar. Rather than absolving Islam of responsibility, it should only serve to shed light on Islam’s treatment of gays. Perhaps this will be an eye opener to some.

Unfortunately, I don’t think so. The whole media spin on this will be A. Guns are bad, and B. This is simply a hate crime against gays that was inspired by transgender bathroom laws.

Dr. Gorka is absolutely right.

The shooting should not be a surprise. Islamic terrorists have long ago expressed their agenda. So what that he is an American citizen? There have been multiple cases of parents from Muslim countries settling here, having many children, and directing their children to commit acts of terror.

You ever read the UK Daily Mail and see how many Brits are obsessed with our gun laws?

"We're defenceless and you can arm yourselves? I hate American gun owners!"

Yep I see the meme developing in real time, guns, gay bashing.

Obama and Hillary will decry this atmosphere of hate triggered by Donald Trump.

oh, yes, it will not be long before liberals start to “use” this event against conservatives, i.e., lumping US conservatives together with the “hate” of this shooter, using sympathy from this horror show to demand “action” on unrelated LGBT issues (transgender bathrooms etc.)..... they will be utterly shameless in exploiting this for partisan political ends, just watch

Could be.

But, what I think will be different this time is the media will be forced to discuss the Islamist connection because our next, non PC President will surly make the connection.

Of course, if and when Trump does, the Dems and their media sycophant’s will try to pile on the Trump is a racist meme. I predict that tact will only help Trump with real Americans.

WFTV9 reporter on scene said the shooter had 2 hand guns.

Casings from 3 different weapons were found.

This will be a very interesting litmus test for liberal loyalties. Will they denounce Islamic terrorism because another PC-protected group, homosexuals, were the target, or will they sweep this story under the rug and let it die in the press after a few days because the perpetrator was Muslim and a non-white?

I'm guessing the latter, since in the Leftist hierarchy, promoting multiculturalism and the interests of non-whites trumps all other concerns.

Rubio is talking now on CNN, and he is suggesting radical Islam behind the inspiration for the attack.

There is no radical izlam...

WFTV9 is showing people lining up to give blood at a bloodbank.

Looks like at least a hundred or more, so far.

on CNN, Rep. Adam Schiff (D) said he heard from the Dept. of Homeland Security that according to local police (so this is 3rd hand info), the shooter made a pledge of allegiance to ISIL and was heard to be praying in a foreign language.

Sounds like Islamic terrorism to me.

Wow. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, just said there are preliminary ISIS ties. He also said something amazing about how we all need to come together as Americans, not “hyphenated Americans.”

If the report that killer was a licensed security guard pans out and as part of his job had a right to have the guns he used, it puts to rest any arguement by the gun grabbers that gun ownership by the general public is the problem.

(Senator Nelson says inteligence staff believe killer has ISIS connections. Then goes on to say country has to “dig down” to confront the recent violence in the US. Typical lib response - doesn’t matter who is behind it, still a US problem with gun violence.)
