That's a shame. I hate the world sometimes.

Saw this on the news while my mom was watching. Why would someone do this?

Apparently the shooter had radical leanings and didn't like the fact that men were kissing other men in his state.

That's horrible.

These hollow tweets from politicians wishing their thoughts and prayers almost infuriate me as much as the actual shootings.

...why, exactly? Are people not allowed to express condolences?

It's simply awful with what has been happening in Orlando this past weekend. First musician Christina Grimmie was shot there and now this.

No one is saying they're not allowed to express their condolences, only that said condolences ring particularly hollow when those same elected representatives do nothing to quell the situation with the power that's been given to them by their constituents.

In short: They're praying for wind when they've been elected to paddle for shore.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this happened during Pride.
Just like I don't think This Guy From Indiana was just in West Hollywood for no reason.

Correction:
The ban on gay men donating blood is still in effect.

...and I'm sure this thread is going south faster than a lightning by turning into a gun control debate. So I'll just say this:

There's some messed up people in this world.

If I had to pick a President based on nothing but their attitude from the tweets in that article, Hillary all the way.

Trump's comments weren't surprising at all. He's getting predictable by now.

He's right though. Between this and the California shooting terrorism on US grounds is becoming more and more of a threat each day.

*TurtleTitan97* · 06-12-2016, 01:25 PM

Heard about this at my church today. Such a senseless tragedy.

Not yet for sure, but really, 53 people dead? C'mon man that's a lot. Losing your life because of terrorism is a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

You're right about that. Though let's wait to see if this guy really had ISIS connections or not. Or if he just was a loonie fanboy with no ties to them.

It's kind of scummy to look down on anyone saying they feel bad about a tragedy but sure, whatevs.
