I'd give them something else to eat for their lame attempts at making this tragedy a partisan issue.

The thing that worries me about this (if true) is that I clearly remember them saying they couldn't figure out why he would donate blood shortly before the shooting. I hope that blood was tested, or just disposed of.

Some of the mentions in his talks with crisis negotiators.

ISIS.
Jabhat Al-Nusra.
Taliban.
Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi
Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan Tsaernaev.
Syria suicide bomber Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha

There's the old saying: Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

I've been consistent: I'm still not for banning guns (people can disagree) or doing the knee-jerk reaction to banning Muslims (people can disagree).

If this is true, and it wasn't so tragic, this is the ultimate eff u to every partisan, religious blaming example of hypocrisy out there.

This is interesting because one of the witnesses said that Mateen said something about wanting to spare black people.

I've argued the same thing from the beginning and even before.

All donated blood is tested.

Fair, but I'd still expect extra scrutiny here as it seems suspicious. Probably best to just dispose of it anyway. Imagine being a victim and getting his blood to save your life? I think with all the donations afterwards it probably gave them enough of a surplus that they could deal with disposing his pint or however much it was.

Gullible leftists will believe this, just like they believed a YouTube video caused the terrorist attacks in Libya.
