If he hates America so much - then why did he come here. He has known Taliban connections and has called for the imprisonment of the current president of Afghanistan. The son has made comments before about radical jihadism and met with FBI agents. The son was also was associated with another American that trained in Syria - tried to recruit other Americans to the cause and eventually went back to Syria and blew himself up in a suicide bombing.
The supposed kissing may have well broke the camel's back - but I'm sure he's seen gays kissing before and this incident not only gave him his revenge on homosexuals but also showed his support for ISIS.
Other reports have the shooter frequenting gay clubs and online meeting sites.
Sounds like the shooter may have been fond of men and abused alcohol.
Shooter reportedly expressed prior support for opposing terrorist organizations.
It's a heads up: Why are they even here. Immigrants who hate the country they're intent on emigrating to is a red flag. Progressives seem ready to do away with any test of the good faith of the would be citizen.
Parents immigrated 30+/- years ago.
Dad sounds obsessed with Afghan politics and borders- not particularly anti- American.
Millions of US people talk trash about the US every day. Some of them routinely post on this forum. Why are they here? Why don't they leave?

But, don't you see, this is the problem with current immigration policies. We are not giving those that want to assimilate first choice. We are too wound up in PC and cannot ask the hard questions like: Why do you want to come to America?
We were always a melting pot; but most wanted to come here to start a new life. That meant work and assimilate into our culture. When we grant American citizenship these 'newcomers' pledge allegiance to our country; not to their old home.
This is the kind of stuff they could've and should've found out before even allowing his parents into the country. Perhaps it was harder in the 70s or whenever they came here, but now there's no excuse.
If we can't afford to screen foreigners properly (including medical and psychiatric screening), then we can't afford to have foreigners here at all.
Had there been psychiatric screenings all along, I suspect the US would have been sparsely populated.
We are all descendents of foreigners and there are delusional unstable people in every family tree.
Why don't people obsess over the families of non Muslim mass shooters?
The father was a regular on Capitol Hill while having openly stated he supported the Taliban!
Not sure if there is any security to protect the public as when people openly support the Taliban can still visit Capitol Hill and meanwhile have a nut case as a son who was reported to the FBI in prior years. The ex daughter in law fled the house and it seems many worried co workers made reports and nothing was done due to the PC as "he was a Muslim"!
What a huge error and this one is costing a minimum of 50 life's and 53 injured and many more families who will never recover from having to deal with their family member be part of this massacre and some family members not knowing that their family member was going to a gay bar and perhaps not even be aware they were gay and instead of learning that the regular way they are now confronted this way.
Father has issues with redrawn Afghan borders. Father seems to advocate for Talaban who seeks to take back Afghanistan and blames enemies, not the Taliban for terrorism. What US people view as terrorists obviously are viewed as freedom fighters in some parts of the world. Then again, US forces are viewed as invaders and terrorists in some parts of the world.
Just about anyone can visit "Capital Hill " as a tourist and sustain a fantasy that they are political insiders.
Absolutely nothing any past, present or future POTUS can do to prevent mass shootings in the US and the overwhelming majority of shooters are not Muslim.

Social media is chock full of claims the shooter is no stranger to gay clubs or online sites. He may have preferred men adding another layer of complexity to this.

Absolutely no one here knows why mother/ father immigrated to the US some 35+/- years ago or their politics at the time.
If this forum was a representation of the general public, there is no shortage of people who hate the US. Some of them refer to themselves as patriots.
