So scary especially a day after Christina Grimmie's murder, also in Orlando.

I can't with Geraldo's stupidity. He's trying to claim the Orlando victim's didn't fight for their lives. Seriously can he just STFU

What a nightmare.  I had some friends that were going to celebrate a birthday that night, but changed their minds at the last minute.

This is typical of cowards and insecure twats (and Geraldo is very insecure). They puff out their chests to remind us of how bad-ass they are, even as they have never been in that type of situation. And he's so insecure that - well, "friendly fire" says it all:

I used to like him and thought he was great at one point, but he's gotten worse as the years go on. There was no need for a comment like this. If you can't say something that contributes then STFU(this goes for the media)

WTF is wrong with him? The guy had an assault rifle how does an unarmed person fight for their life against that?

Someone always says this and it always makes me sick. Even the people who did fight back during 9/11 were attacked a few years ago for not doing a good enough job of it. It takes a disturbed, warped mind to belittle dead people so you can feel like a man.

Just imagine how the families must feel when someone blames the victims for not fighting back. It's an unconscionable thing to say.

I have had to step away from social media for awhile- it all became very overwhelming.  The uninformed, erroneous information and comments seemingly meant to provoke, the judgements and defensive posturing, even the well intentioned impassionate comments said in what seems to be a vacuum.  All of it on a continuous loop yet no solid solutions to an end of this cycle of gun violence and hate.  Maybe I'm just drained but I knew that if I was to get anything meaningful done today, I had to shutdown for awhile.   Just this past Saturday morning, a friend of mine told me that she was beginning to really become afraid of public spaces, I can definitely relate.  Anytime I enter a public building, an office building, I always look for the exits and if the place has a maze-like layout, it makes me very uncomfortable.  I take public transit.  I still do what I must but it weighs on my mind and I also worry about family who are in school, when they attend church, etc and that was before this latest tragedy!

Geraldo Rivera is a an idiot. How can anyone fight a person with a high powered military assault weapon.

I had a feeling he'd be craven and opportunistic enough to do this - media darling Marco possibly trying to use the Orlando massacre (which he helped enable and which affected people he's actively discriminated against for his entire career) as justification to run for reelection.

Apparently the shooter were on apps like Grindr and was frequently at the nightclub.

And Anderson Cooper was choking up when reporting live from Orlando. 

was frequently at the nightclub.

For someone who was a apparently a homophobe he visited it for 3 years. Apparently he would go 2 a month.
