Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, 29, born in America to Afghan parents, walked into a gay club called The Pulse last night and opened fire, killing 50, injuring at least another 50.
He was from Port St. Lucie, Florida, a registered democrat, and was believed to have been married and lived in this house below.
There are varying theories about his motives, stemming from possible Islamic ties to extremist groups in the Middle East to homophobia. It’s being reported that his Father said Omar got very angry when he saw two men kissing in public.
It’s very easy to simply label this an Islamic crazed terrorist attack and it might very well be just that. But this fucker was born and raised here, lived amongst us and shared in our culture. Some will view this as a gun issue, others a terrorist attack on western values, who are welcoming to others regardless of their sexual orientation.
I have a more myopic view on these events, and think humans suck and will disappoint every single time. Watch the news cycle work itself into a frenzy, with political agendas running wild trying to impose their bias on this event. There will be gun control and Islamophobia nuts vying for airtime to share their views on this attack, all the while Americans go about their days sucking on frappacinos, texting on their fucking iPhones.
99% of all Muslims are peaceful and tolerant to western ideals…yadda, yadda, yadda.
This circus makes me sick.
