Also seems like everyone was understandably panicked with a lot of people at the start having no idea whats going. It just seems like a whole lot of factors came together to just create a completely hosed situation

If he was radicalized his parents probably had no idea since he was a grown man and this poo poo happens on the internet.

Filthy homos... why do they get to suck dicks and I... I MEAN I WOULD NEVER WANT TO BECAUSE THAT IS SO DISGUSTING. As a confirmed, dyed-in-the-wool heterosexual myself and a friend of many such heterosexuals I can pretty firmly say none of us hate and fear gays. Because we don't think gay is some kind of terrifying disease, and we're not gay, so we're not filled with dread and self-loathing that someone might find out. Kind of like how the harshest Nazis weren't the von Falkenhorst blond-haired blue-eyed set but those who were always a little worried there might have been some Jew blood in their line a few generations back, but it can't be true because look how much I have hated! Of course I could be wrong and all these dead might just be the corpse fruits of more fundamentalism. That's just always the first place my mind goes when I hear someone irrationally apeshit hateful about gays since in my experience it's close to a law of nature.

nachos posted:This guy was 120 miles away from the Orlando area so did he deliberately target the largest gay club he could find? I believe his father said he saw a picture or video of two men kissing in Orlando and it set him off. Also being reported he was known to police because he had associated with "suspicious" people a few years ago. Sounds like possible radicalization.

I MEAN I WOULD NEVER WANT TO BECAUSE THAT IS SO DISGUSTING. You are absolutely wrong. The impulse to assume all homophobes are secretly gay is both bizarrely self congratulatory (I know Im a REAL straight guy because I don't care what gays do!) and subtly homophobic (haha, that homophobe is GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, like this is the only time you can get away with laughing at person for being gay if you consider yourself a "progressive"). Please resist doing this. The vast majority of people who perpetuate homophobia are straight people, because straight people are the majority of the population.

It sounds like he was shot at outside the club, then ran inside, then the police went in 3 hours later?

Crain posted:Sounds like a straight up lie to me. Unless it comes out that the guys family kept him in a literal religious compound that had been ignored by the state since birth. I have personally almost never seen homosexual affection outside of television. If you don't go to gay hotspots and don't have that many gay friends, it's really pretty easy.

Yes I know there are hippie bullshit Christians, but the majority in the US are not and have heinous beliefs.

gently caress Chuck Todd. The Kreider comic couldn't be more accurate. Also as much as people are getting desensitized to these I think more and more people are losing patience with the "we are praying for the victims" poo poo.

Radish posted:gently caress Chuck Todd. The Kreider comic coulnd't be more accurate. The video is down in that link but I'm not convinced Todd said what that article suggested he said. The quote they have is “Do you think we can ever have a conversation where we have the terrorism conversation and the gun conversation, where it can have this without without trying to politicize one version of events over the other?” That sounds to me like he's asking Sanders if there will come a time when the issue can be addressed without it coming back to "right vs left" politics, when people will be able to just agree on the problem. But I could be wrong as I haven't found the video.
