I was at work when I heard about the attack. It honestly is a very sad thing and I hate that it happened. It's really effected so many people. I just don't feel safe anymore except for work which seems ironic lol....
Anyways, I've heard a lot of things about this situation and I'm not sure what to believe. I may go on Hulu and watch some of the news programs to see what was being said about the shooting.
And by the way Ben, thank God your uncle is safe. On Gibby's Place, one of the member's wife's has a friend that died in the shooting.

Thanks for the nice comments Chris and toetapping. All my friends say that he's gay and that by seeing those two men kissing in front of his son is what triggered him to shoot at the nightclub.

I believe that it's more than that. I think that it has to do with three things. Religion, gun rights, and his sexuality. I saw several links the other day about him being a regular at the nightclub and him being apart of gay dating apps like Grindr. So he may have had a internal conflict in with his sexuality that caused him to shoot up the nightclub, but many people feel differently. Some say it's because of his religion the influence that ISIS had on him. If you ask me, it's pretty much all just crazy speculation.

I think he knew what he was doing.

Everyone had different opinions. If Omar was alive, I'm sure he would be interrogated and tell us the real reason behind the shooting.

You know what kills me about this shooting? People are saying that it's solely an attack on LGBTQ people. I just feel like it's more than that. Omar could of picked any location, and I think that he was initially going to pick Disneyworld, but because he was familiar with the club, that's why he choose it.
He never said directly that he was attacking the club because he hated gay people. He expressed his allegiance to ISIS, so that's why I think it's a terrorist attack. The aftermath of the shooting leads people to these other issues like violence against the gay community, gun rights, and religion. I think people are missing the bigger picture in the fact that 50 lives were lost. These were people first. What they are or were is secondary.
