The media, educational institutions, and the government all push one official narrative. The Orlando club massacre is a shame, but if I or my supporters got gunned down, gays and their feminist allies would be the first to cheer. This is probably because the shooting pointed out a giant hole in the narrative that President Obama wants to prevail. Obama stopped short of calling it an act of Islamic terrorism. And to actively do nothing is a decision as well. And we have to decide if that’s the kind of country we want to be.
GAY BAR SHOOTING ISIS LINK MOVIE
This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub.
Predictably, Obama’s biggest criticism was aimed at the Second Amendment: Obama said that the shooting was being investigated as both a hate crime and an act of terrorism. The President was silent until nearly 2:00 PM on Sunday after the massacre. His speech writers took a long time to come up with a response. Given that the shooting involved gays and Islam, President Obama had his work cut out for him. Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn’t he should immediately resign in disgrace! Experts have already pointed out that there are similarities between the terrorist attack on the Bataclan nightclub in Paris and the shooting in Orlando. SWAT didn’t start shooting until around 5:00 AM. The police treated it as a hostage situation but it sounds like Mateen was able to do as he pleased for nearly three hours. He was armed with a handgun and an assault rifle. There are some reports that Mateen was wearing a suicide vest. Mateen entered the nightclub and started shooting around 2:02 AM. He also reportedly shouted Allahu Akbar while he was doing the shooting. NBC reports that Mateen called 911 and swore his allegiance to ISIS before he started shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Again, the FBI closed the case as being nothing to worry about.Īlthough Mateen’s ex-wife said that he was not particularly religious, his father said that he hated the sight of two men kissing. He was put on the watch list again in 2014 after he made contact with a person who later became a suicide bomber. The FBI interviewed Mateen but closed the investigation. He had been on an FBI watch list in 2013 after he made inflammatory remarks to a coworker and stated that he had terrorist ties. We know that the shooter, Omar Mateen, was an American-born Afghani Muslim.
The Islamic terrorist attack on the gay nightclub in Orlando has destroyed that narrative.
The progressive narrative is that all people are “just like us.” Any differences between different groups of people is the result of racism, colonialism, or bad economic policies.
