A Muslim terrorist guns down dozens of people on American soil and yet the media outrage will pale in comparison to the story of a white swimmer who fingered a drunk girl outside a frat party.

If it was an Islamist attack, this is going to help Trump, heartless as that sounds.

Hillary will be appealing to fear, but as I said, it's an abstract fear. Trump can trump that with a real, concrete fear.

The media outrage will pale in comparison, but Trump is going to force the Overton Window.

Let's embrace a new term when referencing people who defend Islam every time Muslims kill people:

Murder apologists.

If the gunman was a natural US citizen that had been living here essentially his entire life, as opposed to a recent immigrant who was radicalized abroad before arriving, I'm not sure it plays as well for Trump.

Anyone can become radicalized domestically, all that's required is an Internet connection.

CNN confirming the shooter's name is Omar Saddiqui Mateen. Apparently he had some sort of weapons training - don't know if that means he's been to a terrorist training camp.

Did Trump just win the gay vote?

Guys, this could be yuuuuuge.

We should all put the anti-gay pitchforks down for one moment to let this be an example for nationalism.

Not only could this swing over some of the gay vote, but this has potential to pull the blinders off many liberals who want Muslims coming into our country.

Of course, we need confirmation that he is Muslim first. If he's not, who knows how this will play out.

if this is indeed the case, expect the media to give it maximum exposure (the same way they made sure we all knew Zimmerman was "half-white"). Also expect most media coverage to resume this way; "Once again, Donald Trump, still racist."

Why pick them up at all? I don't give a fuck what gay people do in their spare time.

A bunch of people died who had families, probably mothers and fathers who loved them.

I don't agree with their "lifestyle", but they sure don't deserve to die for it.

Nah, the left will double down with gun control nonsense.

I never thought I'd be proven right so quickly. Jesus.

This is by far the worst mass shooting in US history. Not to mention the worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11.

it will be 'police are investigating' status for months, and 'we don't want to speculate on his motives' bullshit since he's a muslim.


Edit: 50 dead now.
