Wow what idiots (the citizens being quoted, not the writer of the article).

It's satire. It's literally 100% made up.

'Islamic extremist' Omar Mateen, 29, from Florida, shoots dead at least 20 at Florida gay club after bursting in 'wearing a suicide vest' and taking hostages - injuring a further 42 - before he is killed

 

Suspected Islamic extremist opened fire inside Pulse gay club in Orlando in the early hours of this morning

 

Law enforcement sources have identified the shooter as US citizen Omar Mateen, from Port St. Lucie in Florida

 

He shot more than 40 people - killing about 20 - and took party-goers hostage before being killed by police

 

Shooter, believed to be in his 20s, was carrying a suspicious device, possibly a suicide vest, when he attacked

 

Police used an explosive device to distract the gunman and rescue around 30 people who had been taken hostage

 

Police engaged in gunfire with the man and an officer was shot in the head, but he was saved by his helmet

 

FBI says gunman may have 'leanings to radical Islamic terrorism' and it is being investigated as 'an act of terrorism'

 

Took place four miles from where The Voice singer Christina Grimmie, 22, was shot dead at The Plaza Live on Friday

 

Father said that his son got angry when he saw two men kissing in Miami and decided to kill as many as he could

Okay well either I'm stupid or it just goes to show how little I think of Americans' attitudes. :P

An absolute f***ing tragedy. 50 lives lost to intolerance and opportunity that a lack of gun control affords. This is supposed to be a developed nation.
I think it is very convenient how the gunman's father claims it was down to homophobia - he's not exactly going to throw his faith under the bus.
50 dead and another 53 hospitalised. It's heartbreaking.

R.I.P to all the victims.

 

f***ing hell this year seems to be about death death death. What will it be tomorrow?

Echoing what people have said, what a truly awful thing to happen. My heart goes out to everyone effected. These laws are a complete mess.
Just read about this now, absolutely heartbreaking, I read somewhere that this is America's biggest mass shooting in terms of fatalities? Even so, devestating, and of course my heart goes out to all the victims, and there loved ones
titillated to know our congress will continue to be firmly glued to the teat of the gun lobby and nothing will happen. also i am tired

A huge mass shooting like this has to be a wake-up call for America. It really would be for any other developed nation.

 

Horrible news coming out of Orlando, this will definitely be an attack that'll rock the Western world.

This is now the biggest massacre in American history. Please let this be the start of the end for US gun laws.

It sad that tragedies like this have to happen in order for something to be done about it.

It's even sadder that this tragedy probably won't even get anything changed

Sadly, I think it'll probably take the shooting of a national treasure for any conversations on US gun law to progress.

 

I think the events of November 22nd, 1963 prove that to be sadly not the case.

Not sure, I think the movement is upcoming with what's happened over the last 4-5 years or so. Whether it's strong enough yet, probably not. Tirren was right earlier though, the people that actually want guns have so much money and power, it's hard for politicians to fight it without committing career suicide.
