Members cassadine1991 Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 Multiple people are feared dead or injured after a shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. A shooter opened fire around 2AM EST. http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/12/mass-shooting-at-gay-night-club-with-possible-hostage-situation-5939045/ http://abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-injuries-shooting-orlando-nightclub-police/story?id=39789552 So scary especially a day after Christina Grimmie's murder, also in Orlando.

Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 Florida seems to have gone to hell in recent years. With the hate and rage whipped up in this country now I'm not surprised to see easy targets in the line of fire. If you go on Twitter and see people saying someone named Sam Hyde was arrested - it's a meme that some people push every time there's a mass shooting...which is, sadly, quite often.

Members ChitHappens Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 This isn't a Florida thing! It's a national crisis and we are losing! 53 dead, 50 wounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 All this gun violence is horrible, but it's not even surprising anymore. We need better gun control, but as someone just said on Twitter if Sandy Hook didn't change anything nothing will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 It sounds like there was also a bomb and heavy preparation so this is one of those cases where I wonder if the man would have gotten everything he needed with or without gun control. 50 people...the worst mass shooting in US history. And it will likely be forgotten by tomorrow, as they always are. It's awful. I had a bad feeling about this summer and we're just getting started. I hope the friends and family or those who've died and that the injured who are fighting for life and recovery will get the support they need.

Members cassadine1991 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 The shooter's father say that his son saw two guys kissing in Miami and that enraged his son. Yet everyone is talking about his Afghan heritage and blaming it on radical Islamic terrorism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 So he felt it was alright to walk into a club and gun down a lot of innocent people? What he did has enraged me, but I'm not gonna grab a gun, run outside and shoot a lot of people! This kind of reasoning is pathetic and I'm so sick of these kind of nutjobs who does these things. What's even worse is that a lot of people will probably agree with what he did, most of them in secret, but I wouldn't be surprised if some do it openly. I'm so frustrated I could scream!

Members Juliajms Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 It could easily be a situation where he self radicalized and then went after a group he hates. I'm hoping that isn't the case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 So he didn't like his kid seeing two men kiss but it's okay for his kid to have a father who MURDERED 50 people. Efing coward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
