I have many friends that work for the LEO/EMS agencies involved in handling this. Praying for them and for my adopted city.

And once again I'm disgusted by Texas leaders...Lt. Governor tweeting "You reap what you sow." Disgusting. Beyond disgusting. For real? Fuck him!!! Just fuck him!!! And anyone else who thinks like this. I'm so sick of this so-called "Christian" attitude!!!! What happened to coming together in times of sorrow? Or does his version of the bible not teach him that. |

I have not gone through and verified this, but I read someone who claims he does an "autotweet" every Sunday morning around that time of a Biblical quotation. Yes, he (or someone) did change it to a different Biblical quotation an hour later, so *perhaps* it was just a "bad luck" prescheduled autotweet. However, the fact that it is entirely believable that it was done on purpose says something about the man anyway.

The tweet has been removed. But let's face it – Dan Patrick is a bigot. And even before the shooting happened, he was thinking about someone when he posted that particular verse. Probably transgender people that molest children and bathrooms… |

I heard 53 dead. So sad. Things like this just cement the fact that we need to be able to defend ourselves at any time and any place. You never know what is going to happen.

My heart goes out to all affected.
I saw a screen shot if a text conversation between a young man at the club and his mom. The news sorce does not know if he was one of the injured/killed, but seeing him write to his mommy that he loves her and the he was going to die made me cry. I can't imagine the young man or the mother.

Giving all people guns isn't going to prevent as many casualties as removing guns from the populous/making them nearly impossible to get. And in no fucking LOGICAL scenario does a civilian need easy access to a fucking assault rifle. |

I'm so saddened by this act of hatred. I have a transgender nephew who is simply one of the best people I know. Even if I wasn't related to him, I would want to be his friend, he is just that awesome. To think someone could want to hurt him simply because of his gender identity, leaves me feeling like I've been sucker-punched. My heart goes out to all the victims and their families.  |

This sucks so bad. And I can't believe there are people who think this is a victory of religion. God's work? No. This is the work of fear, intolerance, hatred and pure evil.

I can almost guarantee there were some in that club who were carrying. And see where it got us? |

I'm confused at why they are calling this a domestic terror incident vs a hate crime.
Did this have anything to do with government? From what I read this beast targeted these people because of their sexual preference. Of course that is just what I read around the internet so who knows what is true.
It breaks my heart that people are killed for being gay. It is nobody's business but their own.
So sad today.

Rainbow - if you knew what the fuck you were talking about, you would know that the shooter exchanged fire with a uniformed officer on extra duty at the club first, BUT was still able to enter the club then slaughter 50 people and seriously injure 53 with a semi-automatic assault weapon. You really need to learn to keep your trap shut sometimes.

I have had enough of your trollish, bigoted, idiotic, inane behaviour. I've had it. You need to go far far away. I'm done with you. And so should everyone else. Go to fucking hell with your bigoted, dangerous obsession with guns. THIS IS NOT THE TIME NOR THE PLACE TO SPEW YOUR FUCKING BULLSHIT ABOUT EVERYONE HAVING GUNS. You are the lowest of the lowest scum. That you even think that you're right is infuriating. Honestly? And I don't say this lightly. I hate you and every single thing you stand for. You are an embarrassment and you should be ashamed of yourself. You won't be though because you are too stupid and too fucking idiotic to realize how fucking stupid and wrong you really are. Go away and stay in your cave troll. That's where you belong. Actually a cave is too good for you. Just go far away and stop insulting people with your presence. For the rest of the peas, I'm sorry for my outburst. I'm sure I'll be roasted alive for it. But I don't give a flying fuck anymore. I've reached the end of my chain with this sack of flesh. I can't even call her a woman or a human being. She deserves nothing, especially not our camaraderie. That she's here is a disgrace. I'm out. |

There probably wasn't anyone in there carrying. They don't allow it in any club I've ever been in. And yes, see where it got us. We need to be able to defend ourselves! How many times does this have to happen before people get that forbidding people from defending themselves is not helping? And how many Islamic terrorists have to kill Americans before we get that they want us dead? They kill homosexuals in their countries. Now that is happening here. They want us dead. There's no talking to them about this. How could you reason with someone who would do such a thing? ENOUGH! I have had enough of your trollish, bigoted, idiotic, inane behaviour. I've had it. You need to go far far away. I'm done with you. And so should everyone else. Go to fucking hell with your bigoted, dangerous obsession with guns.

TMZ is reporting he had permits for everything and some sort of security license. It's also known that he had MULTIPLE explosive devices and possible ties to radicals. This was not your "average" loon with anger issues that bubbled over. This seems well executed (pardon the turn of phrase). Did you see the shot to the cop's helmet? It certainly makes it appear this guy was a crack shot. He clearly had the initiative, tools, and skills, to take down as many people as possible. As much as I am all for people being able to defend themselves, and pissed as hell when this happens when it just makes it easier for gun control people to get their way, I don't think your average civilian with a sidearm was gonna take this guy down easily.
OTOH, someone will argue that he'd have been less inclined to shot up a place if he thought a significant number of those inside could fight back. He chose a place full of people he didn't like that were sitting ducks, loud music, alcohol, a crush of people. Maybe he wouldn't have shot it up, maybe if he thought he'd get armed opposition he'd have just blown it up to start with. This was clearly a guy out to kill by any means necessary.
