    Wasn't it something about his weirdo father being fired from the postal service or something along those lines (or was it McVeigh himself?), and then it devolved from there??

    I think he was X-Military ?

    He was just one of those anti-gov't nuts. Just like the Bundy's and the other douches that are rotting in jail because they thought the 'people' would flock to them when they took the refuge in Oregon. Obviously McVeigh was much worse, but it's from the same mindset.

    Well I'll be. He was a pro-gun rights nut too.

    They are going to pin this on mateens wife. An insider on the Orlando police force told CNN that "...the signs were there.....and had his wife simply made a phone call, this could have been avoided." Isn't that exactly what the gun shop employees did 2 weeks prior?

    Well yeah but the gun shop employees only did it because they're racist bastards who were stereotyping the poor guy! Taking their warning seriously might have hurt Mateen's feelings!

    The wife sounds like a stupid asshole (at best) who deserves to go to prison for life.

    Not saying she doesn't deserve jail, just pointing out the holes in the system.

    haha and those racist profiling bastards were right !
    knowing who his father is and the politics he supports the cops should have had an eye on him when the gun shop called in.

    I figure every single call from a gun shop owner should be taken seriously. Every single one should be investigated thoroughly.

    No joke! Speaking of "common sense". Wasn't there a similar circumstance in either the CO or AZ shooting where authorities disregarded warnings by a psychologist or something? Seems like I have heard this story before...
  • I did, but tell me what I missed.

    That is really besides the point. Either way, all calls from gun shop owners should be taken seriously and acted upon.

    Yes indeed. I guess we do have to remember that hindsight is 20/20. There are plenty of mass shootings where people came forward and said they knew this and that. In a lot of those cases it's not really reasonable to say that someone should have done something or known. But in other cases, like in cases when a gun shop owner or someone else who fears potential mass violence actually alerts authorities with concerns and the authorities do nothing or the person is still able to buy guns, someone is definitely dropping a very large ball.

    I and others have long warned that the failure of the President’s policy to deny (the Islamic State) safe haven would allow the terrorist organization to inspire, plan, direct or conduct attacks on the United States and Europe as they have done in Paris, Brussels, San Bernardino and now Orlando.”

    I know. Doesn't that make this a weird tweet?

    Last American combat troops leave Iraq. I think President George W. Bush deserves some credit for victory.

    I have an honest question: last night I watched several news channels and all them stated that ISIS was calling for more attacks on America from their followers here and all news stations seem to agree that more attacks could or will happen so my question is this...how do you people think those isis supporters got here and as for the "home grown" terrorist who do you guys think they are being influenced by ?

    we have gone round and round about muslim involvement in US terror attacks and many of you think it's just part of the percentages of rouge muslims and basically no big deal.
    I still stand by the thought of stopping all muslim entries in the US because the percentages are just too high, we can't solve every problem this way but it's a good start to minimalizing terrorist attacks on American soil and any immigrant and their children that are suspected of any involvement with terrorist or terrorist activity should be immediately investigated and detained or deported to the country they or their family is from.
    this ISIS thing has got way out of control (thanks Obama) and something needs to be done to protect the American people.
