Major shooting in Orlando. Bleed are you still in the area, or in another city? Hope it's safe to go around there.

Orlando is about 2.5 hours or so from me.

Sad situation though.

I wonder if we will just shove this aside and call it a random act of a crazy man. NO SHIUT

Using the past as a guide, it will be called anything but Islamic terrorism, and not statistically counted as a "terrorist attack" on US soil.

It makes you wonder how many loose cannons are out there and I don't care what color skin they have or how many tentacles are coming out of their neck.

Bingo!! It's sooooooooo screwy how this guy with possible ties investigated three times and looked away from. He works for security company with government contracts. Calls 911 and reports he is a fighting for Isis. What More Do You Need Mr President.

Oh, but it gets better!

CNN now reporting he manned the metal-detector at the site! :facepalm: But hey, it would be "racially profiling" if we did anything about it, and we simply cant have that.

It would be humorous were it not so incompetently terrifying.

Well that answers many questions. He must be ok he works for a security company. I have a feeling they are going to find out more were involved at least one more. POS has been setting this up for a while.

Because saying it would confirm the fear and paranoia that is already running rampant in this country.

Fear should NOT rule the day.

Keep believing that people already don't know exactly what it is. Most are pissed because he doesn't say what it is. Fear does not rule the day. In fact people are getting used to it.

Everybody wants the President to be a problem solver and diplomatic. How would saying it be CONSTRUCTIVE?

Is it like a 12 step program? Admit you have a problem?

The solution is not simple. It is complex and will take generations to solve.

So why would the president want to say anything that could be misconstrued by those at war with the west? It's like insulting Trump. It will only fuel him.

Precisely.

No problem can be solved without acknowledging that a problem exists.

Neither does giving it another name so it gets statistically classified as something that it clearly isn't (SEE: Workplace Violence).

What happens after it's declared? Does America get some sort of superpower? Do the problem go away? Does it matter at this point? Is this a part of the "tell it like it is?" Who. The. ****. Cares what it's called.

The FBI probably has to go through hundreds and perhaps thousands of leads per day. Nobody is perfect. Is the solution to round them up and ship them out? Like the roundup of the Japanese in America and Japanese Americans happened during WWII, a mistake that was admitted by damn near everybody. That's the next step in public paranoia I'm referring to.

The goal of ISIS is to pit Christianity against Islam. If the average American is not particularly bright, what do you expect to be said over there, where the ONLY thing most people have is their religion. The US president is calling Islam a radical religion? This is not how you win a war which can only be won by rooting out the bad eggs and winning hearts and minds.

Besides, why can't we call out radical Christianity like the guy who shot up the abortion clinic last year, the guy who went into a Sikh temple 4 years ago and shot it up, Erik Rudolph and the Olympic park bombing, etc.?

Will this open up a conversation on controlling assault weapons? No. If you can't have an adult conversation about guns after 24 kids are murdered in school, we never will.

I'm done. I'm not discussing politics in the TaN anymore. No hockey and no politics.

This doesn't fit an ISIS motive, IMO. Keep Islam out of this. Also, keep mental health out of this.

The US is a violent nation. Don't think this has any bearing on religion or system of beliefs, but more so on a culture that has yet to establish concrete plans toward gun control.

Both are confirmed though.

Microsoft to buy LinkedIn for $26b

I don't get that move. Maybe they want to incorporate it into their platform into their cloud based Office Suite:dunno:

LinkedIn's business has been waning. Had they been more patient they could have bought them for a lot less than they paid for it.
