Before the blood was even mopped up on that fateful day in 2016 before the media started claiming the Pulse nightclub shooting was a hate crime motivated by homophobia, highlighting the danger the LGBT community still faces even today. There were also rumors that the shooter had a grinder account and was actually a gay man still in the closet, and the attack was his attempt at reconciling his desires, with his Muslim culture. Why else would he do it? He hates America because we're free, and he thinks gays are sinners. Makes sense.
How can we ever figure out what motivated this brutal act of violence? Oh we could try asking the perpetrator. We didn't even have to wait for the police to take him into custody to have the answer. "You have to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq. They are killing a lot of innocent people," he told a crisis negotiator over the phone while at Pulse. "What am I to do here when my people are getting killed over there. You get what I’m saying?". He also claimed allegiance to ISIS in this phone call. That's right, nothing about gay people mentioned at all. In fact, there is evidence that he didn't even know it was a gay nightclub when he started the shooting. Here's a quote from this Huffington post article about the recent acquittal of Omar Mateen's wife of any involvement in the shooting.
Even prosecutors acknowledged in their closing statement that Pulse was not his original target; it was the Disney Springs shopping and entertainment complex. They presented evidence demonstrating that Mateen chose Pulse randomly less than an hour before the attack. It is not clear he even knew it was a gay bar. A security guard recalled Mateen asking where all the women were, apparently in earnest, in the minutes before he began his slaughter.
That's right. He chose the target an hour before the shooting, and it was the third on his list. He decided against two other targets because of heavy security presence. There is no eveidence whatsoever that he was ever on the gay dating app Grindr, or that he ever even watched gay porn. In fact his internet history was more focused on porn featuring older women. There was no digital evidence of him ever searching "gay" LGBT" or anything else having to do with that community. Although there was plenty of evidence that he paid close attention to US foreign interventions, and was incredibly distraught that his homeland was being destroyed.
The MSM tried to play this off as a hate crime, to downplay the fact that it was yet another incident of blowback due to the US foreign policy. They don't hate us because we're free. They don't hate us because we love, and accept our homosexual brothers and sister. They do it because we're murdering indiscriminately men, women, and yes lots and lots of children. It is often ignored that Osama Bin Laden laid out his motives for planning the 911 attacks in black and white. He was seeking revenge over US foreign policy. How many more of these attacks do we have to endure before the American people realize aggression overseas will not stop this? That it will only make it worse. The US has existed for over 200 years, and Islamic terrorism has only been prevalent over the last forty years. Don't listen to the lies of the MSM. More Americans are going to die until we stop killing them. That is the only way to end this madness.
