No conclusions from this editor except for the facts of the case as we know them at the moment.
1. The incident began at or around 11 pm pacific time (2 am Florida time).
2. The 29 shooter was Islamic and was born in this country. His parents are from Afghanistan.
3. The night club was the premier gay club in Orlando, Florida, with 300 in attendance at the time of the shooting.
4. 50 are counted as dead with 53 wounded, many of them according to medical reports, are severely wounded.
5. The FBI's Counter Terror Task Force are on the scene, in large numbers, and members of Orlando's Islamic religious leadership spoke at the scene, indicating a concern that this, in fact, was an radical Islamic event, whether domestic or international.
6. 403 Americans have been killed or wounded since Obama became president, and, before the 103 casualties in Florida. Since 9/11, all casualties in this country, due to Islamic terror, have occurred in the last 8 years.
7. This is the worst mass killing in American history, surpassing the 44 killed in a school bombing (by an angry parent) in 1927.
8. He was armed with an AR-15, a handgun, and some sort of device, whether a suicide vest or a flak jacket.
9. Investigators will be under pressure to label this event anything other an Islamic Terror. We know this because of the Fort Hood "work place violence" crap that came out of this White House. We also know that, in time, that nonsense was corrected. Because of this, we can have confidence that the truth will be told.
Another right wing terrorist
