It appears that a 2-year-old boy shot his mother in the back while she was driving. He and his 1-year-old sister were riding in the backseat of the car.
I feel terrible for those kids. What a tragedy.
- Cool victim-blaming, bro.nb
- dunno, that IS fairly stupid.detritus
- Nothing safer than a car with a loaded gun in the backseat. Just ask any gun loving retard.monospaced
- Apparently the mother had borrowed her boyfriend's car. Do you think it was stupid of her to assume there wasn't a loaded gun in it?nb
- That's why I said "apparently". If you don't understand the words, get a dictionary.nb
- Somehow drake managed to throw in a casual racism into this. Surprise surprise.monospaced

It took two days for Michael Blevins to notice the bullet holes in his arm.

Gorilla Shot Dead at Cincinnati Zoo After Child Climbs in Enclosure
A 17-year-old gorilla was shot dead Saturday by a Cincinnati Zoo employee who feared the animal would harm a child who had climbed into its enclosure, according to officials.
The 4-year-old boy climbed under a railing and through wires and fell about 10 feet into the enclosure at about 4 p.m., said Cincinnati Zoo director Thayne Maynard.
First responders "witnessed a gorilla who was violently dragging and throwing the child," Cincinnati Fire Department Chief Marc Monahan wrote in a statement.

Memorial Day weekend in Chicago is apparently no joke. I was listening to an NPR story on Friday that people were worried about what was going to happen-- locking themselves in their houses and hunkering down. Apparently 69 people were shot this time around; 56 were shot last year.As of April 1, the murder rate had risen 74% from the same period last year in Chicago. The city saw 141 murders as of April 1 this year, compared with 82 murders at the same point last year. Police reported 677 shootings this year compared with 359 at the same point last year.
- I've been in Chicago for 15 years; not necessarily saying the crime alone in making us move, nor saying these haven't been the best years of my lifemg33
- But we're headed to the suburbs in the next few months once we buy a house, and I'm excited to leave a lot of this behind. It's just the right time now.mg33
- The public schools here are awful; you can try and get your kid tested into the better programs, but it's so much pressure, and if they don't get inmg33
- most of the schools you can then go to are terrible.mg33
- The crime thing is the worst though. It's probably even worse than what is reported, but they manipulate the numbers, downgrade crimes, etc.mg33
- Mg13, surely this thread falls under the new antipolitics thread clause no?********

"Florida Pulse gay club attacked in Orlando - multiple injuries"

About 20 people are dead and 42 wounded after a gunman opened fire on revellers at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, at 02:00 local time (06:00 GMT)

- he was the fucker who did this?sted
- probably also gay and couldn't handle the guilt or something after he became radicalized so this was his way to atone.
just a guess._niko - @IRN how is this looking like Islamic radical jihadists? It looks like an American dude who wanted to kill gay people to me.monospaced
- ^ are you serious? wtf?yurimon
- Suspect had 'leanings' towards radical Islam, FBI says. FBI is the most reasonable information we can get at this moment.IRNlun6
- about the 'leanings': Charge Ronald Hopper said investigators are "looking into all angles right now."sted
- Omar Saddiqui Mateen, born in USA in 1986 with ties to Afghanistan. Muslim?
http://thinkprogress…******** - Looks like an American dude, that had become brainwashed by someone or some group (isis?) and had fantasies of murdering homosexuals. Combination?********
- how about that he just simply hated gays?
no religion, no politics, just simple hatred which escalated into violence.sted - That's what I was thinking too.monospaced
- so he was atheist. hmmm thats what im thinking when you said no religion.yurimon
- im guessing he was contacted by the terrogroup via the atheist ideological angle. no virgins, neutral in politics. so what you hate bro angle.yurimon
- That's far too simple of a deduction IMO. There has to be more to it, truth will come out shortly. Regardless of potential ties to isis, he grew up under islam.********
- One's upbringing makes us who we are and if he had a strict upbringing under islam, well? Last I checked homosexuality is punishable by death.********
- Within many of those islamic country laws. Yes, this is insane. Influenced by what exactly?********
- We will attack FL?

- it sounds more exciting that he was part of a sleeping cell and got recently activated or brainwashed. we'll never know exactly. that's the most disgusting.sted
- Hopefully the US Feds have exactly what they need to label this madman. Regardless of reason he's a fucking sicko. Human life is human life.********
- Say what you will on patriot act and privacy. Times like this make me OK with it. Dive right into every text, email and phone call feds!!!!********
- This could have been one of our brothers, uncles, nephews, cousins, etc. Quite sad.********
- I know someone that lives a mile from there. Yeah, it makes you question "privacy". I saw anyone that owns a gun surrenders their personal infoformed

"There are suggestions suspect had 'leanings' towards radical Islam, FBI says" – noting concrete on that yet though! On CNN there was a suggestion that it was an anti gay white supremacy group.
I'd really feel sorry for American muslims if it wasn't an islamic group. I'd also feel sorry for them if it was. Fast forward to the offocial statents fro the candidates and I can just see the name of Islam dragged around again like a 'vote for trump' flag.
- It's been incredibly rare for American muslims to be victims of retaliatory violence. For the most part Americans seem to be making a reasonable distinction.IRNlun6
- Yes he will no doubt make many childish and moronic efforts to benefit from the fear and hatred he has uncovered and cultivated these last few months.monospaced
- The same ones that grip you and compel you to agree with him and cry radical terrorism at every chance you get.monospaced
- Yes of course. Trumps ideology spreading like wild fire. Radical islamic terrorist shoots up a gay club, lets not jump to conclusions.IRNlun6
- Surely banning all Muslims is not a rational conclusion though.monospaced

Death toll up to 50. This is fucked.
- oh my god. fucking terrible.fadein11
- Absolutely horrific!utopian

- Impossible to understand why or how someone could carry out such a terrible crime against fellow humans. Sad day indeed.monospaced
- number went from 20 to 50 in no time.
hearts break for the victims of this horrific act of violence.sted - Omar Mateen worked as a security guard in Fort Pierce, Fla. He rented a car and traveled to Orlando to carry outsted

Interesting to see what the blowback for muslims in Florida is on this, I'm guessing nothing compared to if he killed 50 at a nascar or monster truck event.
- what does that mean? compared?yurimon
- He's saying that if this were an attack on white male republicans that the public response would be harsher than if it were just gay people.monospaced
- thats the most retarded assumption. what public response? tards.yurimon
- just shows a level of dysfunctional thought and focus.yurimon
- do you honestly think that if he killed 50 rednecks, that there wouldn't be a higher level of harassment of muslims, vandalism of mosques etc?_niko
- again, i said interesting to see, I don't think there will be as big a backlash against muslims because it was against the gay community. But let's see._niko
- i dont think its interesting to see anyone dieing. dehumanized assumptions if you ask me. everyone reacts differently.yurimon
- I dont get the logic in a tragedy or at least how this gets to the core of an issue. its more of emotionally deflecting argument.yurimon
- _niko, that really a far fetched assumption. Not very smart of you.********
- it's far fetched to assume that there is little support for gay rights in redneck circles? That this incident will be seen as a deranged muslims vendetta v gays_niko
- as opposed to Islam vs America if he killed 50 at a nascar event or a college football game or something?_niko
- and there was no vandalism of mosques and harassment of muslims after 9/11 or the paris attacks or the California shootings or other terrorists attacks?_niko
- and that it might be safe to assume that it wasn't a bunch of gay hit squads responsible for the retaliation?_niko
- Let's wait a few days and see if Yuri and portman are right and I'm nuts._niko

- What the fuck are you talking about niko? For fucks sake, a redneck did not kill these gays. Go back to your hole dude.********
- who said he was a redneck lol._niko
- I have no idea what we're arguing about._niko
- Wow********
- he is trying to prove a point that the lgbt community is tolerant of religious beliefs if its islam regardless if its ok to discriminateyurimon
- or that its acceptable to kill gay people in the belief structure. let get together in tolerance n support the community in light of the attacks. a very moralyurimon
- position. but if you are white christian. how dare you hate. off with their heads we want justice.. makes sense. thats my impression. yeah or nayyurimon
- I see********
- nay, not sure how you spun it and got all of that from my statement. All I'm saying the lgbt community is a soft target._niko
- maybe he figured he can carry out the attacks on this group of people and not fear as much reprecussion since they are not widely supported_niko
- especially from the right wing, who would be more prone to retaliate violently._niko
- i'm sure conflict of ideology has nothing to do with it.yurimon
- Go visit Godlikeproductions.c... today and you will see what niko is saying. Tons of right-wingers there caring very little about this because of who was targetemg33
- Targeted. That website is a cess pool anyways, so it wasn't surprising to see how online anonymity brings out the worst in people.mg33
- "thats the most retarded assumption. what public response? tards." What happened to that "intellectual deep conversation" you cried about days ago? "Tards" huh?sofakingback
- The user base on GLP primarily thinks that every shooting is staged by the government, within 1 minute of it being on the news.mg33
- i dont what you guys are talking about... keep defending the killer and keep deflecting with pretend scenarios.yurimon
- know*yurimon
- Who exactly defended the killer in this thread? Answer - nobody.mg33
- Worst shooting in US history BTW.********
- Seriously, who's defending the shooter lol amazing how your brain works._niko
- NOBODY is defending the shooter or radical Islam here. That's a given. Let's please understand that.monospaced

He had a criminal justice education and even worked as a public notary for awhile. Also trained and licensed for a firearm. His father says it's nothing to do with religion.

From Wiki:
Omar Mir Seddique Mateen (November 16, 1986 – June 12, 2016) was a devout Muslim living in Port St. Lucie, Florida, about 125 miles (201 km) from Orlando. Fox News confirmed that Mateen was a U.S. citizen from Fort Pierce, a Muslim born to Afghan parents.[18][19] Mateen had reportedly bragged about ties to "terrorist organizations" in the past, and became a person of interest to the FBI in 2013 and 2014. An investigation on Mateen was also opened prior to the attack, but ended up closing as it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.[20][21]
Mateen's father speculated that his decision to kill was prompted by his homophobia, as he had seen his son get angry after seeing a gay couple kissing months prior to the attack.[22]

I'm reading this asshole was on a terrorist watch list, oh and the GOP blocked a law to prevent assholes on a watch list to acquire weapons.
- As long as they keep the NRA happy_niko
- No, GOP did not block any laws preventing people on the terrorist watch-list from legally obtaining weapons. You mean no-fly list which is very different.IRNlun6
