TheDaily Beast – CONNECT THE DOTS.
Omar Mateen, Terrorist Who Attacked Orlando Gay Club, Had Been Investigated by FBI
Omar Mateen of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, came to the attention of federal authorities twice prior to being identified as the gunman in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting, a senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.
The senior law enforcement source reports that Mateen became a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014. The Federal Bureau of Investigation at one point opened an investigation into Mateen but subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.
“He’s a known quantity,” the source said. “He’s been on the radar before.”
Mateen was a U.S. citizen; his parents are from Afghanistan, CBS News reports.
The senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast that Mateen was born in New York and was married for a time to a woman from New Jersey.
Father Mir Mateen told NBC News that the sight of two men kissing angered his son.
“We are saying we are apologizing for the whole incident,” the father added. “We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country.”
The attack, he said, “has nothing to do with religion.”
FBI Agent Ron Hopper told reporters Mateen may have had leanings toward Islamic extremism. The law enforcement source told The Daily Beast there is no immediate indication that Omar Mateen had any direct connection to ISIS.
The source did note that ISIS recently declared online that its followers should mount attacks to mark the approach of the holy month of Ramadan.
The message came in an audio recording from spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, released in May. Muslims around the world fast during Ramadan in honor of the first revelation from God to Muhammad. The terrorist group believes it to be a particularly opportune time for attacks.
“Ramadan, the month of conquest and jihad. Get prepared, be ready…to make it a month of calamity everywhere for the non-believers…especially for the fighters and supporters of the caliphate in Europe and America,” Adnani said.
Mateen—who was armed with an AR-15-style assault rifle and a handgun, according to Orlando’s police chief—entered Pulse club around 2 a.m. Sunday morning and began shooting. After most of the 320 people there escaped, Mateen took hostages from a group that was hiding in a bathroom. Shortly before 6 a.m., a SWAT unit breached the club and engaged Mateen in what’s being called a protracted gun battle. Mateen was killed.
The deadliest single-person mass murder in American history before Orlando occured inBath, Michigan, in 1927, when a man bombed a school, killing 44 people.
*whispering*
Hes a registers Democrat.
Jus sayin….
But remember, anyone who doesn’t welcome and accept muslims is a bigot and racist (even if islam isn’t a race).
So sayeth Obama.
And Obammie the commie is bringing muslims in by the boat load. Even with all those murders the gays will still send millions to the democrats.
Obama’s Katrina?
MSM won’t dare let that happen.
There are dozens of great golf courses in Orlando.
Obama could spend a week down there “investigating.”
Perhaps looking for the ‘real killers’ with OJ?
They should round up this guys family and raid the Mosque he attended. Where is the former wife? Who is she? Where did the guy get the money for his weapons/gear? Instead we get a cover story that the guy didn’t like two guys kissing, maybe terrorism, probably just a lone guy – possible interest in radical Islam. Next we’ll see CAIR out there talking about Islamophobia and the Justice Dept warming us not to react.
Geez, I really hope this doesn’t disrupt 0bama’s golf game.
Its noon. The president and vice president have been briefed. Josh Ernest says the WH expresses its condolences and prayers for the victims and their families.
Everything is under control. Carry on America
Of course this had nothing to do with islam, there’s nothing that shows this incident is part of a pattern. Right?

There is no connection whatsoever, not a smigen, between Paris, Tel Aviv,and Orlando.
Fasting by day.
Killing by night.
Religion of Peace.
Local radio in Orlando is non-stop coverage. Already the calls to ban “assault” weapons are coming in. Brainwashed liberals… I call for a ban on musloids.
he was born here- raised by his parents and learned from his local mosque. so just seeing two guys kiss set him off? It may not be plausible but bring charges against his parents and mosque as co-conspirator’s to this. They drove him to do this. watch your back and front-try not to go to places that you may deem unsafe. do not think that it can never happen to you……..
On a positive note; there are a shitload of people lined up to donate blood for the wounded.
Obama’s JV team is making varsity, awards are in order.
The attack, he said, “has nothing to do with religion.”
Taquiyya.
You can tell when a muslim is lying by whether his lips are moving or not.

need to start registering suicide vests
The father said this had absolutely nothing to do with religion.
He’s right. Islam isn’t a religion. It’s an ideology. An ideology that doesn’t just condone murdering non believers and infidels, but actively encourages it and tells you you’ll be rewarded in the afterlife.
Every last vestige of Islam must be removed form our country including all mosques.
Every non citizen moslim must be deported or their visa revoked and sent back.
Every citizen moslim must be encouraged to emigrate to a moslim country.
Ain’t gonna happen-there’ll be a suitcase bomb or dirty nuke set off in NYC and it still won’t happen.
How in the hell do you shoot 100 people in a building that small?
THERE IT IS AGAIN!
“HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION”
LMAO
Look out Florida the Democrats are already talking gun control. This guy might have been a “Known Quantity” but he had a carry permit.
Brad. That depends on who the people are. No?
Bernie Sanders agrees, he is claiming that it’s because of Americas lack of gun control.
This is highly confidential inside information.
If you don’t want to see dudes kissing don’t go into a gay nightclub.
So when do we get Kankles ranting about a Trump recruitment video setting him off.
Hillary Clinton:
“You see? This is WHY WE MUST PROHIBIT ASSAULT RIFLES AND OTHER GUNS!!
(cough, cough, cough, wheeze, cough)
IT IS SHAMEFUL AND WRONG FOR DONALD TRUMP TO POLITICIZE THIS HORRIFIC ‘TRAGEDY’, USING IT AS A WEAPON AGAINST OUR FELLOW AMERICANS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT OF FREE WORSHIP!!
(crowd cheers)
(cough, wheeze, cough, cough)”
Anyone’s GAYDAR go off on Mateen? He hates to watch men kissing so much that he went to a gay night club to watch them and then destroy them? Okaaaay.
What do you want to bet that club was a “gun free” zone?
Anon. It was also a man free zone. 100 people shot by one scumbag. Gimmeafuckinbreak!
This koranimal’s father was from Afghanistan and so his father prolly bacha bazi’d the hell out of his bunghole.

Another gun free zone !
Night Clubs, Bars, any place that’s primary business is selling alcohol are pretty much gun free zones. There’s zero tolerance for carry permits and alcohol.
Sarge, this guy had a class G permit. Sounds like you live in Florida. What’s a class G permitt?
Deport every relative closer than a tenth cousin.
Lazlo — It’s the tenth cousins that are the most worrisome. Those are the ones resulting from the union of two ninth cousins.
Bad Brad …. here you go.
To work as an Armed Security Officer or an Armed Private Investigator in Florida, the State requires officers to complete the 28 hour Statewide Firearms Class G License class.

Assuming it’s true what daddy said that
“…the sight of two men kissing angered his son”,
I’m willing to nix the possibility of the son
being a spurned homo as the motivation.
I still DO hope someone follows through
on researching that angle, just to confirm.
@MJA – my gaydar was pinging, too. Look at how precious he looks taking a selfie.
Obama: “Nice job, Omar! Wanna bring yourself to the white house?”
@Czar – why do you believe the terrorist’s FATHER? I don’t believe ANYTHING a muzzie says without independent verification, and that includes the ones I’ve personally known for 10 years at my job. They will lie until they’re strong enough and then they’ll reveal their true nature. Scorpion and frog.
What the fark is an “assault rifle”? Is it the opposite of a kissy kissy rifle?
If it has nothing to do with religion, why isn’t Islam declaring love for anyone no matter who they love?
