The gunman who killed at least 50 people at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday was a licensed security officer who claimed more than once that he had connections to Islamic terror groups, Fox News has learned, as the killer's ex-wife reportedly said he was unstable and would beat her.
Investigators identified the shooter as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, a Muslim who had a Statewide Firearms License. They said he lived in Port St. Lucie and nearby Fort Pierce. His father, Seddique Mateen, announced he was running for president of Afghanistan sometime around May 2015. Omar Mateen "was not a stable person," his ex-wife told The Washington Post, which did not name her. "He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that." She said he worked as a guard at a facility for juvenile delinquents and frequently exercised at a nearby gym in his spare time. His ex-wife was born in Uzbekistan. They were married in St. Lucie County in 2009 and reportedly divorced in 2011. The shooter remarried at least once after the divorce and had a three-year-old son. Security firm G4S confirmed he'd been an employee since September 2007. "We are cooperating fully with all law enforcement authorities, including the FBI, as they conduct their investigation," company executives said in a statement. "The fact that this shooting took place during Ramadan and that ISIS leadership in Raqqa has been urging attacks during this time, that the target was an LGBT night club during Pride, and – if accurate – that according to local law enforcement the shooter declared his allegiance to ISIS, indicates an ISIS-inspired act of terrorism," House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., announced. The gunman had Facebook and Myspace accounts, a counterterrorism source told Fox News. Federal investigators were scouring Omar Mateen's social media profile and looking into his father's background, as well as possible connections to an outside group. Seddique Mateen told NBC News his son got angry after seeing two men kissing in Miami a couple of months ago, suggesting that may have helped trigger the attack at the gay nightclub. "We were in Downtown Miami, Bayside, people were playing music. And he saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry... They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, 'Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that.' And then we were in the men's bathroom and men were kissing each other." The gunman's father claimed the massacre "had nothing to do with religion." The elder Mateen once voiced support for the Taliban and denounced Pakistan while hosting a television show on a California-based channel called Payam-e-Afghan, the Washington Post reported. "Our brothers in Waziristan, our warrior brothers in Taliban movement, and national Afghan Taliban are rising up,” he says in one of dozens of videos posted on YouTube under his name. “Inshallah the Durand line issue will be solved soon.” The "Durand line issue" refers to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan and is a sensitive subject especially for members of the Pashtun ethnic group, according to the Post. Omar Mateen was trained in firearms. Police said he killed each of his victims with an AR-15-type assault rifle but also carried a handgun. He had no apparent criminal history, sources told CBS News. The shooter also worked in security at Indian River State College where he received an associate's degree in criminal justice, according to his father. The ex-wife told the Post she met Omar Mateen online about eight years ago and moved to Florida to marry him. She claimed he wasn't very religious and showed no indications he'd been influenced by radical Islam. "He seemed like a normal human being," she said, adding, "He was a very private person." The marriage lasted just a few months before her parents learned about the apparent beatings and pulled her out of the house, the Post reported. The ex-wife said she cut off all contact with Omar Mateen at that point. The shooter was born in New York to Afghan parents. Both he and his father were registered Democrats. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/06/12/florida-nightclub-shooter-had-made-threats-in-past-reports-claim.html?intcmp=hpbt1 His father is a Taliban supporter and both are registered Democrats... Go figure........ |

It's being reported that he worked for a security firm G4S that has numerous government contracts and should have been fired years ago but it was prevented because he was a Muslim. This PC BS has got to go. ""Daniel Gilroy said he worked the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift with G4S Security at the south gate at PGA Village for several months in 2014-15. Mateen took over from him for a 3 to 11 p.m. shift. Gilroy, a former Fort Pierce police officer, said Mateen frequently made homophobic and racial comments. Gilroy said he complained to his employer several times but it did nothing because he was Muslim. Gilroy quit after he said Mateen began stalking him via multiple text messages — 20 or 30 a day. He also sent Gilroy 13 to 15 phone messages a day, he said._" http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/crime/2016/06/12/who-omar-mateen/85791280/ |

Gunmakers’ shares jumped following the massacre at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub that left at least 50 people dead.
Sturm Ruger & Co. climbed 8.7 percent to $62.43 at 9:34 a.m. Monday in New York after gaining 8.9 percent, its most intraday since late February. Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. surged 10 percent $23.57 following a 12 percent advance, its biggest intraday increase since Jan. 5. Shares of gun manufacturers typically increase after a mass shooting as investors speculate that tougher gun-control laws may be enacted, spurring sales before any new measures take effect. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which is used to vet consumer gun purchases and is a gauge of firearm demand, jumped more than 25 percent for the three months through January, Smith & Wesson said in March. That period included a terrorist shooting in San Bernardino, California, and coordinated attacks in Paris. |

And all those moments, when I knew I would never be the same... are growing & no longer feelings, they are now truths. |

Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre
Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murder in Orlando early Sunday. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.” So I guess the president thinks Mateen didn’t mean it? Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks. He called it “terror,” which it is. But using the word “terror” without a limiting and defining adjective is like a doctor calling a disease “cancer” without making note of the affected area of the body — because if he doesn’t know where the cancer is and what form it takes, he cannot attack it effectively and seek to extirpate it. So determined is the president to avoid the subject of Islamist, ISIS-inspired or ISIS-directed terrorism that he concluded his remarks with an astonishing insistence that “we need the strength and courage to change” our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. That’s just disgusting. There’s no other word for it. America’s national attitude toward LGBT people didn’t shoot up the Pulse nightclub. This country’s national attitude has undergone a sea change in the past 20 years, by the way, in case the president hasn’t noticed. An Islamist terrorist waging war against the United States killed and injured 103 people on our soil. We Americans do not bear collective responsibility for this attack. Quite the opposite. The attack on the Pulse nightclub was an attack on us all, no less than the World Trade Center attack. To suggest we must look inward to explain this is not only unseemly but practically an act of conscious misdirection on the president’ s part to direct out attention away from Omar Mateen’s phone call. True to form, the president spoke more words about the scourge of guns than about the threat of terror. In doing so, he actually retards rather than advances the cause of gun control he so passionately advocates. A president totally and credibly committed to the destruction of ISIS and other terror groups seeking to bring the war to us might earn the political and moral capital to seek more extensive limits on gun ownership. A president who cannot name the enemy even as he anthropomorphizes the weapon the enemy uses is a president unable to bring anyone to his side who’s not already there. To fight back against the evils of San Bernardino and Orlando, we do need change — and fortunately for us, it’s constitutionally mandated change. It’s the change required by the 22nd Amendment — the change that will compel Barack Obama to leave the White House on Jan. 20, 2017, after completing his second term with America less safe than it was when he took office. http://nypost.com/2016/06/12/obama-says-we-are-to-blame-not-islamic-terrorism-for-orlando-massacre/ |

inconsistencies,,, do muslims yell 'god is great'? or 'allah' does a citizen who pledges allegiance to a terrorist ideal or group automatically commit terrorism or is it expected that a terrorist act involves someone more than allegiant but actually a member of? did the Swedish boy with a Nazi manifesto who killed those kids a while back get charged with 'terrorism'? ( I honestly do not remember) is a crime against a group for their lifestyle an act of terrorism or a hate crime? can it be both, or do we have to choose one? does it matter if one kills gay people because they were brought up christan to belive it wrong or because they were brought up believing someone or something else in believing it was wrong? what now? do we use a mass shooting to unite in fear/hatred of muslims,, or in fear/hatred of guns? I do believe a larger percent of mass shootings involve guns than muslims though,,, And what about the Muslims chopping off peoples heads..in the name of their God... does that fall under " well, boys will be boys" in your world. |

the disturbing facts are this guy worked for a company that's been contracted by the department of homeland security, this guy was a known problem but investigations of him were ordered to cease by Hillary Clinton's state department because he's muslim, 100 Syrians a day have been let into this country since the start of June, Afghani migrants coming to this country has risen by 326% in the past year I think it was...and americans owning guns is the issue? something very very bad is on the horizon.....

something we agree on,, neither conclusion makes logical sense that's why we focus on individuals , we are as careful about how guns are manufactures as we are how cars are manufactured we are as careful about what INDIVIDUALS are operating guns as we are what individuals operate cars,, caution is a logical balance between blind access and blind banning |
