I wonder what's going on here?

I was addressing the point about those who would stay silent rather than condemn, mikey. Do keep up.

[Svejk]

Apparently the gunman was called Omar Mateen.

Dougie...if this murderer was an extremist,


If?
I think killing 20 or so people is fairly extreme.

/// Why are you even asking this? What's the problem with the facts of the story being reported? ///

Perhaps you would do well to remember that when you next ask:

"What has his skin colour got to do with it"?

"What has his religion got to do with it"?

"What has his sexuality got to do with it"?

[douglas9401]

I think you mean mikey, Talbot. Is everybody drunk this arvo?

[Svejk]

I'm not. ;-(

[mikey4444]

Sorry dougie....posting on too many fronts this afternoon ( as usual ! )

[-Talbot-]

I have copied and pasted mikey's words douglas.

Not drunk, just a little hungover.

// Orlando authorities said they consider the violence an act of domestic terror. The FBI is involved. While investigators are exploring all angles, they "have suggestions the individual has leanings towards (Islamic terrorism), but right now we can't say definitely," said Ron Hopper, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Orlando bureau. //

[mushroom25]

there are online whispers that the death toll has been hugely underestimated, and this could be the biggest mass shooting in US history.....

[Zacs-Master]

50 deaths reported. Pretty shocking.

[anneasquith]

Latest I've seen on news 50 dead, :-(

[Islay]

according to cnn 50 dead 53 injured.

So sad

[-Talbot-]

Relax ... nothing to do with religion, he just didn't like men kissing.

Whatever drove him , he was wicked through and through.

Horrific.

//nothing to do with religion, he just didn't like men kissing. //

Ahh, that'll be why he was on FBI radar then.

In answer to your question at 14:02, it's people like the Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick who stand shoulder to shoulder with terrorists who attack gay people.

AOG

This is not the best story to use to illustrate your agenda.

In that linked article his wife said that he repeatedly abused her but ......was like any normal human being!

[stuey]

I imagine after this incident that there's going to be a lot of apprehension, and perhaps heightened security, in Key West.
