New reports are emerging that Disney warned the FBI about Omar Mateen several months ago. Mateen visited the parks with his wife, who told the media that he was considering attacking Disney Springs.

Mateen also visited the Disney Springs (formerly known as "Downtown Disney") area during Gay Days, a weeklong LGBT festival in Orlando.

Could be something very simple... When you purchase a ticket, you provide a name. Presumably, that name (or a car license plate) could be matched against a watch list.

If you see something say something and the FBI will just ignore you.

If you 'see something and say something' about a Muslim the DHS will investigate you for being a bigot and possible member of the vast right wing conspiracy.

Obama’s DOJ is killing us.

In effect, she’s saying she would use prosecution as a weapon to protect Muslims from others employing their First Amendment rights.

Seemingly, her greatest fear at the time was not another Paris, or San Bernardino, but “anti-Muslim rhetoric,” instead.

Speaking at Muslim Advocate’s 10th anniversary dinner, Lynch said since the terrorist attacks in Paris last month, she is increasingly concerned with the “incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric … that fear is my greatest fear.”

“The fear that you have just mentioned is in fact my greatest fear as a prosecutor, as someone who is sworn to the protection of all of the American people, which is that the rhetoric will be accompanied by acts of violence. My message to not just the Muslim community but to the entire American community is: we cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on.

Lynch made it clear that she shares those concerns, but vowed to use the DOJ to protect Muslims from discrimination and violence. Noting the rise in violence against Muslims and mosques in the wake of the Paris attacks, Lynch added that, “When we talk about the First amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American. They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted.”

I’m sooooo tired of pompous leftist scumbags like Hillary, Obama, John Kerry, and Loretta Lynch trying to tell us all “who we are” ..... THEY are not good Americans and have no business hectoring us all on the subject.

How many Muslims in the US have been killed by their American neighbors because of their affiliation with Islam?

What did the FBI know and when did they know it and did the Obama admin. Stop them from doing their job as he has done with the border control agents?

Russian authorities warned the FBI in early 2011 that suspected bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev may have been a follower of “radical Islam,” a revelation that raised new questions in Congress on Saturday about whether the Boston Marathon attacks that killed three and wounded more than 170 could have been prevented.

Published April 25, 2013 FoxNews.com

The CIA had Tamerlan Tsarnaev's name put into a terror watchlist after being contacted by Russian authorities in 2011, sources told Fox News -- raising more questions about why the Boston bomber's trip to Russia the following year didn't raise more red flags.

Disney has great security. Undercover agents are everywhere and have been for decades.

Once, when young, a bunch of my family went to Disneyland and my cousin and I thought we found the most secure place to smoke a quick blunt.

Nope. Got thrown out.

My understanding is that Disney security thought these two were casing Disney World, which turned out to be correct.I assume Disney security has an FBI contact number given to them by Homeland Security.

The moral of this story is, fire everyone at the FBI and replace them with Disney Security .

The very FIRST thing we need to do is to STOP allowing leftist elite totalitarians to define what being American means.
