I mean, even if you look at it through the lens of "He wanted to attack the West," it's pretty obvious that what he was attacking was our acceptance of LGBT people. Maybe the West was abstractly targeted, but these people died and got shot simply because of their sexuality.-and how their sexuality (possibly even his own) related to his beliefs and rationalizations for action.
Target selection though...you think a nighclub isn't a good place for an attack. Packed bodies, dimmed lights, loud noises..........welcoming staff and patrons.....a lack of law enforcement presence...minimal likelihood of armed resistance....distracted or otherwise intentionally unaware masses of human flesh with what, one or two exits, none of which easily accessible....
Huh? I think a nightclub is a perfect place for an attack.
