Gay night club. Excuse me. Shooter dead. 32 injured.

At least 20 dead and 42 injured, according to BBC News.
Quote:At least 20 people have been killed and at least 42 injured after a shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, police say. 
"Orlando Police said officers entered the Pulse Club about three hours after the shooting unfolded - and killed the attacker, who had taken hostages."
This should be in the "Fucking Cops" thread.
And they said they used a Bearcat, I guess to ram into the club? Couldn't that have caused casualties, too?

They control detonated an IED on the scene. It's Pride Week.
Fuck.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It's bad, but not that bad. UK armed response units would have probably taken way longer than that.

Maybe the damned Muslims thread would be more appropriate. Police risked their lives to face the shooter and saved the hostages vs guy with the gun shooting and killing them all who is apparently Muslim. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. RE: 20 dead in Orlando gay club shooting

There was more than a little sarcasm associated with my post.
To be fair, this is from USA Today:
"When asked whether the shooter had ties to a Jihadist terror group, an FBI official said during a news conference that 'we do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings toward that, that particular ideology. But right now we can't say definitively so we're still running everything around.'"
How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D
Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be. |
