He won't read any of that -- 'MSM bunk'

Oops, I think I made the mistake of clicking on news sites I thought might be reliable and not run by cranks. I won't look on Little Furry Animals or Look at me I'm suuuuch a Rebel, but will Fox News do?

Mateen, armed with a handgun and long gun, began his deadly spree around 2 a.m., engaging in a gun battle with a uniformed off-duty officer working security at the club’s entrance before he started shooting club patrons, wounding 53 in addition to the dozens killed, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said.

Mr. Mateen pledged allegiance to Islamic State...but I think that was a halo multiplayer team.

Certainly FOX will do! Why it is America's most trusted news source.

Truth hurts.

Mr. Mateen pledged allegiance to Islamic State “at the last minute,” Mr. Obama said.

Alas, that's too uncomplicated for the insanity of our times:

The pro-Taliban dad has assured us that his pro-ISIS son isn't radical. That's the madness of the world we live in.

The Sith Lord sayeth it is so, thus it must be truth. The hate is strong in this one. Don't let it fester. Let it all out. The dark side will reward you with cookies.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter who he pledges allegiance to.

Shootings like this come from people who have some personal delusions about society and cannot be avoided.


But that being said, these people make all kinds of excuses and he's pledged allegiance to conflicting groups so it would be extremely disingenuous to make assumptions otherwise.


The latest reports imply that his father was the primary influence on his homophobia.

On Saturday, before I'd even heard of any of this (not sure when it happened because I haven't read it all) I spent a few hours of my time trying to inform authorities of a possible threat, to no avail! I went to 2 police detachments to try and pass on this info (which I hope is probably nothing) but both the Barrie city police and the Barrie OPP passed the buck and said I had to take it to the Toronto police, meanwhile sh!t could have gone down, especially with events like Florida giving inspiration to idiots like the one this post on craigslist Toronto tries to shed light on:

Re: free trip (guy is a psycho)

...but I gave up. the national hotline only operates monday to friday, I guess because everyone knows terrorists don't work weekends.

Maybe someone who cares will relay this to someone who maybe gives a flying fig.

note the second and third attachments specifically:

"I will be busy strapping a bomb to my chest and setting it off in a populated part of toronto" and "It's ok. One day soon I won't exist in this world, but I will at least know I will have taken thousands with me."

this dude, at the very minimum, needs his pee-pee slapped publicly.
