Re: Pulse Nightclub in Orlando Attack
A truly horrible slaughter. I'm still in shock. I do hope all of my friends here and all of your friends are safe. My heart goes out to those who have been murdered, injured or traumatized.
Omar Mateen is an U.S. born citizen. His parents were born in Afghanistan. He may have had issues with sexual orientation. He may have had connections with ISIS. No one is sure of anything at this point in time, except that he was alone and armed with an assault weapon.

It appears that the shooter pledged allegiance to ISIS. I don't know what else motivated him but the murder of people at a gay nightclub is consistent with ISIS' worldview (not exclusively ISIS but we've all heard the gruesome stories of ISIS pushing gay men off of buildings). Still waiting for more information.
Sympathy goes out to the victims and their loved ones.

The article says he has no direct links to ISIS although the FBI was interested in him (I presume his online activities indicated sympathy with ISIS). Omar's father says, "the sight of two men kissing angered" his son.

Just seen CBS reporting the same on twitter. ISIS is claiming Omar is one of their 'soldiers'.

Re: Pulse Nightclub in Orlando Attack
It's never clear what "claiming responsibility" means: directing? egging on? applauding? Or just a desire to fuck with our general election?
