Every mass tragedy begets a frantic search for answers, for a common understanding of what happened, for a narrative, and the 2016 Pulse massacre was no different.

Not long after Omar Mateen opened fire inside a bustling gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the media scrambled to understand his depraved actions. Almost overnight, a narrative emerged that until now has been impossible to dislodge: Mateen planned and executed an attack on Pulse because he hated gay people.

You mean a national case, reported on yall types of media, for 18 months, was just plain wrong? 

How could this be?

But even before this evidence began to come to light, there was already abundant convincing evidence suggesting that anti-gay animus was not a significant part of Mateen’s motive in choosing Pulse and perhaps played no role at all. This evidence begins with Mateen’s own words.

Quote

"In particular, Mateen went to Pulse only after having scouted other venues that night that were wholly unrelated to the LGBT community, only to find that they were too defended by armed guards and police, and ultimately chose Pulse only after a generic Google search for “Orlando nightclubs” – not “gay clubs” – produced Pulse as the first search result."

He went to Disney Springs what used to be called Downtown Disney free to get in with lots of clubs and restaurants. He could have done even more damage if security had not been present

Well to begin with, they accepted the narrative our government (FBI) told them.

You mean the FBI gets things wrong, or misleads people?

Please say you absolutely do not believe that the FBI WOULD EVER, OR HAS EVER misled anyone. There are lives on this board in the balance...

I should have picked up on that sooner.  You've mentioned him in the past.

Anyway, I was really impressed with it.  I'm going to follow it awhile first, but I anticipate signing up to support it.

Honestly: Do you ever ever ever listen to yourself? Do you? EVER? You are complaining about yourself here. You DO know that right?

This 'denies reality schtick' was old years ago...

Locked up is one thing... but ASSINATED! That’s a whole different level.

How often do you think they assinate people? What is their preferred method of assination if you could guess?
