Orlando Sentinel

The Federal Bureau of Investigation three times interviewed Omar Mateen for having alleged terrorist ties before he killed 50 people and injured 53 others at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the deadliest shooting in U.S. history.

The names of four of the people he killed were just released. They are: Edward Sotomayor Jr., Stanley Almodovar III,  Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo and Juan Ramon Guerrero.

FBI learned of Mateen in 2013 after he made inflammatory remarks to coworkers and alleged terrorist ties, said FBI Special Agent In Charge Ron Hopper.

The FBI investigated and interviewed witnesses and Mateen, but closed the investigation. He came to the FBI’s attention again in 2014 for making contact with a suicide bomber. FBI determined their connection was minimal and closed the investigated[sic]

Apparently, Mateen also called 911 before the attack, and pledged his allegiance to ISIS.

    This government is not even making an attempt to protect the people, it’s more of a pretense.

    No doubt about it,
    this was the result
    of climate change.

    The real question is,
    “When will POTUS
    start blaming Islamic
    believers for their
    deadly acts against
    those of a different
    opinion or lifestyle?”

    Three FBI interviews. Hard to believe that NOTHING would raise a red flag.

    Were his background checks doctored/manipulated?

    Three Tweets: Trump, Hillary, and Sanders.

    I’ll vote for trump, because he’s above zero on my line-chart.

    But when will Trump drop the modifier and just call it Islamic.

    We have no real truth tellers in the running.

      I’d vote for Ann Barnhardt over Trump.

      She doesn’t use weasel-words like “radical” when describing reality.

      I’d like a president who doesn’t lie.

      On my -10 to 10 line chart, Trump is about 2. Bernie and Hillary are at -8 and -9, respectively. Neither have ACTUALLY filled mass graves yet, unless you count inner-city deaths, but they’re on there way to that particular infamy.

      It’s all about perspective. Reagan was probably 3.

        Some polls are showing that Bernie apoeals more to US Moslems than does Hillary. Not that either one makes them pack their falafel and head for the polls but ‘gimme some free stuff’ Bernie gets higher numbers than Hillary among them. With any luck they’ll be sort of luke warm to her and stay home, remembering her and Bills armed antipathy towards
        Moslems during both of their reigns.

    The last message a mommy will ever receive from her son.

    Apparently the LE and others in Pulse are having a hard time not only with the carnage but with the ringing phones, many of the victims phones continue to ring with their loved ones hoping against hope that there is some awful mistake and their loved will answer their call.

    Local news has been scouring the local LGBT and LGBT parent communities for anyone who had a family member, friend, acquaintance there or even heard the word ‘Orlando’ sometime in the past. That desperate play to make all news, wherever it occurs, local so that viewers can be drawn in for ratings.
