FBI had the shooter on a watch list for supporting ISIS

Two tragedies in a row, but it's nice seeing the community support. There were very long lines of people waiting to donate their blood.

A slippery slope to descend. Guns used in criminal acts are only the tool the criminal chooses for the crime they are committing. Ban all guns, that genie isn't going back in the bottle. France doesn't allow AK 47s but that didn't stop the Paris shootings.

I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to people living in Orlando. This kind of stuff should never happen anywhere.

Interesting. If this is true, then I wonder if the media is still waiting to be updated and local law enforcement agencies & the FBI are aware of these other two individuals that were involved (assuming these agencies aren't aware).

It could also be that those victims are still trying to process the events and believe that there might've been other shooters, especially since there was an exchange in gunfire with police as well.

This is actually the first time I'm hearing this. Have police confirmed that there were 2 others? Usually the media would at least say that it's suspected that there may have been 2 others if they are not sure. I wonder why it's being kept hush hush.

Yes. Maybe. We should start. Looking at commonalities. See if there is some link.

Wait, doesn't matter. Nothing could possibly be done. We have to just let them attack. And pray that we don't get shot next time. Maybe God will stop the bullets.

That's not force. Call your government people and say, "I am tired of us being murdered! Do something about it!"

If we demand it, they will stop it.

They tell us to see something, say something. Well, people did!
I'm not shocked. Instead of keeping an eye on people who actually pose a danger to society, they (the justice system, etc.) harass and criminalize innocent people.
