    His brother doesn't seem to know why this happened.

    NO ONE thinks like that though.

    People get killed by drunk drivers every day. It's OBVIOUS that drunk driving laws don't work.

    lolol

    Please stop it.

    The guy had some money, so it wouldn't be the craziest thing if he went through all the trouble it takes to buy them legally, but I would think that someone would have mentioned it if he had a license for that. Who knows?

    a different type of victim to be sure but victims nonetheless.

    ISIS took credit for the Orlando Pulse gay night club shooting. CIA said it found no evidence of communications between ISIS and Omar Mateen. So there is that. I am sure that this does not count for some reason, like it does not fit a rightwing echo chamber narrative.

    This could have been a crazy leftie or a crazy rightie, or someone in between. Let's not pretend that insanity favors one side or the other. Pointing political fingers is not going to erase the fact that it is extremism which causes people to act this way. And both sides can induce extremism from the most weak-minded of its followers.

    Early reports indicate weapons purchased legally.

    I am getting my facts from fake news CNN.

    It seems others would rather the uncorroborated 4chan and twitter info, conjecture that has already been debunked or deleted since originallly posted here in sensationalist format

    Maybe AntiFa conflated white supremacists with lovers of C&W music.

    What's next? NASCAR?

    I feel bad for him. Probably wouldn't have hurt if he had said he feels sorry for the victims, though.

    Omar Mateer acting on behalf of Islamic state was not a "politically correct" narrative, you mean. Who was in charge of that investigation? Eric Holder and Barack Obama right? There was no lie these two would not tell to protect their "political correctness" narratives. And say what you want, that did fit the MO of Islamic State in literally every way possible.

    This situation is off in that the perp does not appear to fit the profile. It does not seem like we have the full story on this current incident yet.

    Yeah but I think we cut him some slack because of how blindsided by this he must be. For sure if he had prepared for these questions better he would likely be saying different things. Also, it doesn't seem like the family was terribly close.

    ^^^ This is what we refer to as a 'radicalized angry uneducated Trumpanzee'.

    Just not going to engage a simpleton when it comes to issues such as this. There's really no point and it would serve only to derail this thread.

    The shooter's brother shared condolences, several times. He was rambling for a long while on camera and I felt bad for him.

    MojoMan just doesn't seem rational here, is he headed immediately towards False Flag territory?
