Re: orlando shooting

I find it highly amusing that the narrative around this shooting is literally already about gun control and that it's apparently all white people's fault.
Holy shit get it together liberal media, this is the kind of jumping to conclusions that makes people vote for Trump.

That said, my heart goes out to those affected.

I've seen a lot of completely idiotic news articles and facebook posts over this event. Sadly some people want to use it as an example to champion some sort of social justice cause, rather than acknowledge the act of terrorism that it is.

RIP gay brothers and sisters.

Re: orlando shooting

I go out like 2-3 times a week to gay bars, being extremely gay. It has never once popped into my head that someone could/would come into a gay bar maliciously... it is the one place where we can go that we don't have to feel judged, at least for being gay there is still a lot of judging going on...

all jokes aside it is awful that a hate crime could escalate to this amount of destruction. I have no encouraging words to say right now. =/

I personally wouldn't blame people for considering "gun control",
being that it's the largest mass murder in the history of the usa committed with firearms.
whether it's the right thing to consider or not, people are desperate to end this stuff, especially when mourning.

The reason I mention this is because the context of your claim "...the narrative around this shooting is literally already about gun control..."
makes it seem like those who considered it are wrong to do so.
Makes you seem inconsiderate, but maybe that's your thing iono.


"Holy shit get it together liberal media, this is the kind of jumping to conclusions that makes people vote for Trump."
Totally agree, conclusions like these are absolutely the reason why trump has made his way this far into his campaign(or anyone for that matter)
though this "conclusion" the liberal media has made isn't factual.

As much as the title of the article suggests
NBC ‘Law Enforcement Expert’
Blamed Orlando Terror Shooting
on Anti-Gay ‘White Hate Groups’
it's uh, not correct.
more of another click-bait article with skewed information(who woulda guessed it).

The law expert lists possible reasons and backgrounds the murderer may have had to commit this attack.
He mentions the group which expresses the most hatred towards the lgbt community(White Christian Males) then continues to discuss other possible backgrounds.
This one mention of "white" is where I believe the article is over-blowing quite a bit to support their own views.
Or to gain views,
bait people, ya know the good stuff

I suggest watchin the vid yourselves rather than trust my quotes.

the part where he mentions "white hate movements"
"there's alota domestic terrorist we classify that do that, they're rooted in white hate movements, and so it could be that"
he then continues with
"the fbi has also said they haven't ruled out internationally inspired when asked by reporters" as well.
then says, something along the lines of
so who really knows, and it's unclear because they don't know yet.
Now, to me that isn't a direct call out. Seems reasonable to mention such information but i guess it's up to interpretation since there's an article about this.
again, I suggest reading and watching the video yourself if you haven't since text based quotes can't really be trusted.

it looks like the article itself is attempting to sway others into thinking that the law expert directly blamed white people. Which, he didn't do, but whoever typed that page up keeps insisting on overstating the expert's words.
it also quotes obama's speeches from 2015 about islam, which honestly looks like an attempt to oppose obama.
not that it's bad to oppose him. just unnecessary regarding what the original purpose of the article was; the law expert seeming to blame white people for the shooting.
Things like
"Cavanaugh was clearly attempting to dissuade MSNBC viewers from assuming Islamic terror was a motivation of the Orlando shooter."
weren't actually clear at all, an example of skewing.
It's another highly opinionated page, trying to say that "x media" is highly opinionated and wrong, so follow our ideals.

The reason I say all this is because
you callin out people who be jumping to wild conclusions, but you are guilty of that as well from my perspective.

iono if you just some kinda hypocrite though so my bad if that's your thing
or if you believe that Cavanaugh blamed all white people for the shooting, my bad again if so. We would just have some very distant viewpoints if so.

I personally prefer hypocrisy to kinda just not exist anymore,
but maybe i'm just some asshole who thinks he's right and tries to push his own views on someone else.

Except radical islam is far more of an actual threat and does far more harm than radical anything else
