Orlando shooting a 'domestic terror attack' targeting the LGBT community, Trudeau says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling the attack on a gay nightclub in Florida an act of domestic terror.

Trudeau says he was "shocked and saddened" to learn so many people were killed and injured following the mass shooting in Orlando.

Trudeau says that while authorities are still investigating and not all details have been confirmed, it is "appalling that as many as 50 lives may have been lost to this domestic terror attack targeting the LGBTQ2 community."​

Trudeau says he and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, are offering condolences and prayers to the families and friends of those lost and wish full recovery to those who were injured in the attack.

Trudeau says they stand in solidarity with Orlando and the LGBT community and grieve with their friends in the United States and Florida.

So? Now it's"official"?

 

[mentalfloss]

And totally outrageous doncha know.

 

[petros]

Who cares? We already know. We're you unsure until now?

I agree with Trudeau. What else could it be?

1. There's no evidence of a connection between knucklehead and any foreign power or group. Ergo, domestic.
2. The victims were gay, no certainty of any other common racial/religious/ethnic/social commonality. Ergo, homophobic.
3. Knucklehead was clearly trying to promote a cause through violence against uninvolved civilians. Ergo, terrorism.

But what about Islam?

Nobody ever thinks about the Islam.
