I would like very much to understand more about the facts of the Orlando shooting.

How were so many people killed and injured so quickly with no adequate response? It seems to me that Navy Seals would be hard pressed to kill as efficiently. But I'll wait for more evidence. I merely point out that this **** stinks to us "conspiracy guys" at first impression. I'm just sayin'.

Oh look, another "Crazy Fundamentalist" with a really weak motive that went apeshit and killed an absolute boatload of people. Why? Well he's Muslim. NO he's not. He's angry because he saw to gay guys kissing in front of his son so he went a little nuts and decided to kill all the gheys! NOPE, he was maybe a little ghey himself. Uh... The FBI was watching him and DisneyWorld sent some info in on him cause they said he had 5 different facebook accounts and had done a bunch of searches recently on other shooters and on the nightclub.

No WAIT. His wife said she had some prior intel about his plans. But we don't know for sure what that means. It's about the GUNS people. NO - it's about the crazy Muslims... All about the MUSLIMS! Hey, let's look at that footage inside the club! What? There's no footage that we know of? Oh, course not. It's a gay club. Footage is, you know... frowned upon. Sure, we can buy that. I mean, who the hell wants to see that? (Except the owner who has liability issues up the ***, pardon the pun because he owns a nightclub where people go and drink alcohol and could be attacked or otherwise bothered). One would EXPECT he'd have cameras to cover his ***. But he doesn't. Ok. Moving on.

Good news - there were armed guards. Bad news - apparently they were killed first. Worse news, nobody heard those inept guards being killed. Still WORSE news, that ****** owner seemingly didn't have a back door. (No back door in a gay club. The ironies NEVER END)! So it must have been a fish bowl and the victims must have just been sitting there waiting for a seemingly endless stream of bullets to kill some 50 of them and injure 50+ more.

In my best spongebob voice, "Time Passes"...

Of course, the evil shooter(s) end up dead. They always end up dead somehow. Damn it anyway. If only the police could have caught the perpetrators of this heinous crime and had an opportunity for questioning. But alas. How much easier for the court system now that the everything is neatly tied up. Thank you Lee Harvey. We couldn't have done it without you.

And now there's a NEW outcry for gun control. Does anyone care WHAT kind of guns were used? Does anyone CARE that it seems ridiculous that one or even 2 shooters would have had to be freaking RAMBO plus to kill that many people and wound that many more that quickly with ANY kind of gun? No! We just want to ban some damn guns.

And if we can stir up some anti-Muslim sentiment while were at it! AWESOME! (We call that a "Two-fer").

Now Hillary can cry for Gun Control and the Donald can get all red in the face for exporting anybody who doesn't make over $100k a year and have the proper skin-tone. And due to incidents like this, more and more Americans will eat it with a spoon.

I'm not quite to the "tin foil" stage yet, but there are definitely some oddities regarding this club shooting. Too many victims, too poor a response from emergency services.

A bomb would have made sense. Shooting 100+ people before being stopped? Hard to imagine. I mean honestly, do the math there. Think that through. Do you truly think you could round up a couple hundred people in a large room and shoot over 100 of them without anybody stopping you? Even if you got all the "armed ones" first? It stinks man. It just stinks.

I have nothing concrete to add, but these recent mass shootings / terrorist attacks do seem a bit bizarre to me, be it Sandy Hook, the Paris attacks and now this one in Orlando. I guess the thing that sticks out to me the most, is how calm everyone seems to be minutes, or even hours after so much trauma and bloodshed has occured. My sense is people would be completely wigging out, screaming, running around, total mayhem and chaos would ensue. But we see images of people quietly carrying the injured around, and public officals making solemn statements 15-20 minutes after such a devastating attack. Maybe it's just shock; people are so shocked at what's happening they can't really process it, thus they turn passive and quiet.

I'm not surprised that you think that way. That's what weak people do. The rest of us clean our guns.

Oh boy we have another wannabe hero weekend warrior. Maybe you're right. When you were slow dancing with your Latin lover at the Pulse on Sunday night, you would have had the foresight to pack your whole arsenal in your butt-hugging spandex pants somewhere.

Sorry to cut you short, but you just don't understand the details. There is no conspiracy here!

Terrorists armed with an assault rifle look for crowded enclosed areas with no cops around. This is what we saw in San Bernardino and Orlando. I fear such soft targets full of people will be attacked in the future.

In a crowded night club, armed with an assault rifle, one nut can kill dozens of people. This Jihad type in Orlando ( He was Muslim and the survivors heard him shouting out Muslim phrases ) was a trained security guard. Not exactly a navy seal, but he knew what he was doing.

Some takeaways that prove he was a Muslim Jihad type:

#1 According to the Director of the FBI, Mateen had “links to al-Qaida, Hezbollah, and the Islamic State“.

#2 Mateen’s father has openly expressed support for the Taliban on YouTube.

#3 He made pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012.

#$ He claimed to personally know the Boston Marathon Bombers.

#5 According to the FBI, Mateen has “been on the radar before“, he was interviewed by them three separate times, and they conducted a 10-month investigation of his activities in 2013.

#6 The President refuses to call it what it is, Radical Islam, meanwhile he blasted Christians for the Crusades and violence that happened a few centuries ago.

#7 If he was gay, he's not getting 69 virgins. Not sure why Omar Matten failed to realise the Koran says homosexuals should be put to death.

In France, they are now attcking the Police. This is a line not even the mob, kkk, black panthers or any other group would cross. Its very bad
 
Oh boy we have another wannabe hero weekend warrior. Maybe you're right. When you were slow dancing with your Latin lover at the Pulse on Sunday night, you would have had the foresight to pack your whole arsenal in your butt-hugging spandex pants somewhere.

I thought you meant Americans in general, not just the gays who were at the scene.
 
Coach that is all well and good, but I'll bet you a beer, at the end of the day this Mateen dude will turn out to be nothing but a pathetic loser, someone who had deep, serious issues (closeted homosexual, alcoholic) who simply snapped and figured he could wash his sins clean by doing a panicked, last minute alignment with ISIL et al. He will go down in US history as one of the most notorious mass murderers of all time, but I doubt he thought he'd get this far. He was a scumbag loser son of a ***** who was grappling with his gayness while trying to raise a kid and conform to his dad's expectations. A sick, sick ************? Yes. A real jihadist terrorist? Highly unlikely, based on everything I've read thus far.
 
#1 According to the Director of the FBI, Mateen had “links to al-Qaida, Hezbollah, and the Islamic State“.
and yet, our top domestic surveillance team, perhaps the best surveillance team on the planet was unable to determine ahead of time what his plan or motive was even though there are now reports that DisneyWorld sent warnings ahead of time about the alleged gunman's suspicious activities leading up to the shooting. So literally Mickey ******* Mouse is doing a better job than the FBI? Is that your official stance on point # 1 then?

#2 Mateen’s father has openly expressed support for the Taliban on YouTube.
Damning evidence there. What does it mean? Could it be... disinformation? Maybe his Dad, I don't know, supports the Taliban. What about son? Let's ask him. Oh, we CAN'T, cause he's DEAD. That's inconvenient.

#3 He made pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012.
I've gone to Dallas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and other southern states. I do not profess to be a KKK member. On the other hand the alleged (Love that word) may very well have been a Muslim. I don't discount the possibility whatsoever. I merely wonder how he managed to kill 50 people and wound 50+ more before anybody did a thing to stop him. You'd think SOMEBODY would have made an effort. You'd suspect after 10 or 15 people a couple guys would have thought to themselves, "Hey man, I don't think this crazy ************'s gonna stop. Maybe 10 or 15 of us should rush him..." Nah, ultimately it was a FAR better plan to stay in place and wait it out. Clearly that worked out better.

#$ He claimed to personally know the Boston Marathon Bombers.
Hey, let's corroborate with him or the Boston Bombers. Ah nuts. It seems he's DEAD and the bombers are unfortunately unavailable for comment. However you seem to have some in depth knowledge of the alleged gunman. Perhaps you'd like to arrange an interview with the obviously "sharp as a tack" FBI. I'm sure they'd love to hear your insight on ALL the people the alleged gunman knew.

#5 According to the FBI, Mateen has “been on the radar before“, he was interviewed by them three separate times, and they conducted a 10-month investigation of his activities in 2013.
Awesome! Let's have some pretzels!

#6 The President refuses to call it what it is, Radical Islam, meanwhile he blasted Christians for the Crusades and violence that happened a few centuries ago.
and your point would be...?

#7 If he was gay, he's not getting 69 virgins. Not sure why Omar Matten failed to realise the Koran says homosexuals should be put to death.
Classic disinformation. What you're about to see is about 25 different "stories". Things will be spun in as many ways as possible in order to confuse people. That's why the ORIGINAL footage is critical. Anything that can be recorded from LIVE television when the event happened is the absolute BEST coverage you can possibly have. For example, Supe's point about medical personnel being far from the scene and injured people being moved TOWARD the club... Watch as THAT video disappears shortly. Also watch as the narrative on the shooter morphs.

Soon a story will emerge that best meets the agenda of ALL the politicians. Regardless of how the crime was carried out, in a political arena it will be used to further agendas and the "facts" will be discarded and ignored utterly in order to move the people toward an agenda that better meets the goals of those in power. It's no secret whatsoever that the government wants fewer weapons in the hands of the citizenry and more in the hands of the military. If you disbelieve that, you're foolish and naive. And if you further believe that the government wants that because they believe it is in the "citizenry's" best interest you're flat out deluding yourself on an epic scale. The government wants control of the populace. This doesn't necessarily have to be dark and foreboding, mind you. It's "possible" a kind and benevolent government will rule with a gentle and loving hand while caring for the people and keeping us safe from harm. On the other hand, we're one really ****** leader away from being a 3rd world country that's ruled by a despot and we'd be left with no capability whatsoever to defend ourselves much less fight back.

How does the government go about disarming the best armed citizenry in the world? They convince them over a period of 2 or 3 decades that the very weapons they've armed themselves with are dangerous and are the very root of the harm that is befalling their cities and homes. The government contrives (or at the very least capitalizes upon) a threat that mobilizes the citizenry. In some cases that threat is foreign. Muslims and radical Islamic Terrorism. That forces us to increase our military, fund more soldiers, increase our military bases here and abroad. In some cases those threats are domestic. This forces us to look at our own warts. The very weapons that we "USED" to think kept us safe. Now we begin to realize they are being used against us. That they can't be regulated and managed by a government overtaxed by an ever-broadening web of evil and "crazyness". The only way to stop this problem is to reduce the capability of people susceptible to violence, rage and indiscretion to get the guns that perform these heinous acts.

But... the horrible truth is, we're seeing that ANYONE can perform these acts. A random stranger in a theater. A young isolated boy in an elementary school, two brothers who decided to randomly maim dozens of people at a race. Well, we can look at the brothers and say - they had radical religious ties. They were crazy. And the teenage boy, well he was crazy too. And the weirdo who shot up the theater - c'mon, that dude is CLEARLY ******' crazy. But in the end, how do you tell who's crazy? How do you tell if your neighbor who has slightly darker skin than you, who speaks with an accent you can't quite place... how do you know he isn't "one of them?"

You don't. So in 5 more years, after 7 or 8 more horrific events, we get to a place where, beaten down and exhausted the American people finally can't resist the filibustering any more. Somewhere in Hillary's 2nd term or during Trump's memoir writing after his first term the laws will REALLY start to tighten up. Meanwhile the military will have been growing and growing all along. And we will have rejoiced. Because Al Queda is OUT THERE. Because ISIS is OUT THERE. And one day, in the midle of the night the armored vehicles are going to come back home. And we're all going to wake up and it's going to be announced that we don't really need a primary election. However we don't need to worry about it, because things are going to go on pretty much the same as they have.

That would be the start. That's how we conspiracy theorists roll.

wig... posted in the orlando shooting thread...

why were the victims being carried towards Pulse? yeah, the majority of the cops and ambulances were down there, but don't ambulances tend to go towards victims and not the other way around?

watch the video, pause it, then cross-ref the address 1912 S Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32806 on google maps.

Odd. I make any mention of anything like this and you guys fall out of the sky to claim "tin foil conspiracy nut" yet in this thread you all are expressing thoughts like I usually have.

There are many things that stink about this, but the most obvious is to ask "What agendas would be aided by this?"

When investigating a crime, the first thing you do is to ask who the crime act benefits and whose agenda it will best serve.

Do you find it believable that the claimed suspect really benefitted from this? I don't. He had a little boy but he didn't have the natural drive to make sure his son was taken care of? No, he went off over seeing two guy kiss to the point on thinking it was right to kill 50 innocent people?

So what agenda would be aided by this? Gun grabbing agenda. Constant fear mongering agenda, allowing for continued wars in the Middle East, all against countries who Israel hates. And, of course, the US spy agenda on its own people, loss of freedoms and liberties.

You don't think it's strange that guys were carrying a supposed shot man (the man with red shoes) TOWARDS the bar, not away from it, and at one point set the guy down (who had no problem standing on his own, after supposedly taking a .223 round in the thigh) and that they begin smiling and laughing at that point? Doesn't seem totally out of line?

Just listen to the typical talking heads to determine the agenda. How many different people said, "We are at war" the past 3 days? They were all saying it. It is an agenda and it ain't a decent, moral one.

Thats funny

A lot of other guys would really think he's packing. Lol


And to add to this post. A lot of these mass shootings are bizarre. Sandy Hook was cruel. But this one and the Paris attacks. People were calm. Almost too calm. Dafuq? Wig is on to something

It was late and they were all ****** up on Ecstasy.
 
Gun grabbing agenda--possibly.
Fear mongering---possibly an opportunity for the presidental nominees to get some needed support.

Think about the islamic problem sweeping europe. Once it starts hitting here and you have no guns cause obummer is calling for gun control. Then what? There is a lot of weird little pieces that correlate together, but make us sound like a conspiracy nut. I'll bite my tongue for now. But do have an intrigued mind

Maybe they did what most people without the capacity to defend themselves would do and got the hell as far away from the crazy ****** as possible. And the reason they returned to the ambulances (rather than ambulances coming to them) may be either the ambulance personnel were more concerned with the critically wounded and dying at the scene (note some of the returning wounded were taken away in police utes not ambulances), or may not even have been aware of the location of all wounded who had been able to escape the scene. You can't seriously be implying that all those people in the video were part of some conspiracy can you?

maybe if you were flogging yourself over Heath Evan's bench presses, you'd have seen that.

I fully agree that people would have run like hell. 100% agree with that.
Problem is, Orlando is not a small little podunk town. Literally SIX blocks away is a hospital. Watch the video and you'll see that not only are the wounded being carried towards Pulse, but also towards that hospital. And a fire department. Firefighters are trained in CPR, but not full medical emergencies. All that aside, the police vehicles that did take those wounded went literally back in front of Pulse and not, say, down a different street to avoid any stray gunfire. I mean, it doesnt make sense that they put the wounded back into a dire situation even for a second.

As for the number of people killed, I can buy that. Bullets don't just lodge into a body. Some can exit. Also, consider that the guy was in the club for 3 hours prior to cops storming the place. That's an awful long time to empty a magazine and reload - even if the killer only had one magazine (which is unlikely).

So I guess my issue is the rescue/emergency service was not as it should have been, IMO.

I agree, though, that the guy was likely a ****** up individual with conflicting internal stories. He was likely gay and fighting that along with his father's and his religion's expectations.

Still, doesnt give him liberty to take someone else's life.

Tibs,

Did you not read his quotes which are standard with Radical Islam? Did you not see who his father was and what he said? Did you not see him referenced the Islamic bombers in Boston? Did you not hear the survivors say they heard him shouting out Islamic phrases?

You're too smart to dismiss this. He was a radical Islamist. The president will never say it ( As it would unite the nation against a common enemy ) but he was. Review the information, please.

Was this guy a loser, socially speaking? He had a job, a wife, a child and was married, so I'll say not he was not your classic loner type but that's only my guess based on what we know.

I'm sure he was a radical Islamists.

There's absolutely no doubt that he was. Aside from all that, he went on two pilgrimages to Mecca and he pledged his allegiance to ISIS, for crissakes!
 
Wig,

Isis is at war with us. Here in the USA, the Muslim population is but a small percentage, yet they carry out an importantly larger percentage of these terror attacks. Boston, San Bernardino, Orlando, NY City 9-11 to list a few examples. Muslim terrorism is a world problemFrance, Belgium, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, etc... It's a huge world problem and lord help us if they get dangerous WMD's....I guarantee you they will use it if possible.

This is the problem. It MUST be addressed.

You do not understand Radical Islam, Sharia law, or the code of the Koran. It has hate, sexism, anti-gay, submission, laws that allow mutilation or torture, rape, and dislike for Christians and Jews in its DNA. They also want to impose this code on others. When someone believes in this, there is a good chance to become radicalized. Anyone willing to give their life, as these shooters know they will, can't be reasoned with.
