20 dead in Orlando gay club shooting

RE: 20 dead in Orlando gay club shooting
And they call us gays "mentally ill".

Delusion, psychosis, schizophrenia and brain development never surpassing a 6 year old.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."

According to the gunman's father, it's a homophobic crime:

Quote:“This had nothing to do with religion … but he got really angry when he saw two men kissing in downtown Miami a couple of months ago,” the father reportedly said, according to MSNBC. His father also said Mateen had a associates degree in criminal justice, and was working a security job. He lived in a condo with his wife and 3-year-old son in Port Saint, Florida.

But I don't see that that is a distinction that matters. Islam is even more gay intolerant than evangelical christianity. I can't imagine his homophobia is unrelated to Islam.

I also doubt even more stringent gun control would have stopped him. He was a rent a cop who had and even under stricter controls would have had plenty of gun access.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I was wondering how long it would be until I saw the "nothing to do with religion" deflections come out the woodwork.

This belongs in the 2d Amendment Thread...because every angry fucktard needs an assault rifle and all the ammo he can carry.

Yay 'murrica.

A little under three hours.  That may be a record.

"Nothing to do with religion. Nope, other gay people aren't being killed by Muslims or anything."

Maybe, just maybe people should stop making religion about fucking hate. But then how ever are you going to recruit anyone to give you all their money?

I'm just waiting for some piece of shit (probably a Robertson or a Falwell) to blame this on gay marriage. Apparently god is Allah according to some Christians, because he's been choosing Muslims to do his dirty work.

Playing devils advocate here, but are we sure that was in reference to this shooting? His twitter feed is littered with Bible quotes.

The only reason anyone would hate a gay person is because of a religious influence. There can be no other reason. If there is I would like someone to point it out.

KUSA, we used to have a very homophobic atheist around the boards. He claimed to be unnatural to be gay yada, yada, yada. Fortunately, he stopped posting on his own.

Doesn't seem as if anybody else had trouble connecting the dots.  Also seems like the asshole deleted the post.
