Sickness: The Media and Republicans Have Done the Orlando Killer’s Bidding

June 12, 2016, Pulse nightclub, Orlando, Florida. The deadliest single attack on the LGBT community in U.S. history was carried out by a hateful young American male. In the aftermath, the national media granted him the instant fame he sought, while Republicans reinforced his desire to make it about religion instead of what it really was: insecurity, hate and bloodlust.


..............

This monstrous 29-year-old male American who murdered 49 people at the Pulse nightclub tried to use some concocted fealty to a distant organization as an excuse for hate. We shouldn’t grant him that excuse. He was simply another young male who embraced the forces of evil over good, of darkness over light. He was a bloodthirsty creature who snuffed out innocent lives and sought fame in the process.

He’s no different from others of his kind. The Washington Post examined 73 U.S. mass killings since 2014 and concluded that only three were connected to Islamic radicalism. We don’t hear Republicans talking about the other 70 killers so much, do we?

Well, let’s talk about them here. They were mostly Christian. They were American. They had two things in common: they craved blood and they sought fame.

They are no different from brutal males posting videos of themselves throwing gay men off rooftops in Syria or brutal males raping children in the DRC. They are no different from their brethren who murder, pillage and rape across the planet.

1. It doesnt help the M$M & politicians divide and conquer desire

Make us afraid of the "other"

I mean really, they bought Dylan Roof a burger on the way to jail.

After all white christian lone wolves mass murderes are mentally ill.

Brown skin mass murderers are muslim terrorists.

Obviously posters comment on shootings, but the bile towards Muslims on this site is really getting out of control.

4. The problem is that pieces like this one seem to discount the value of the victims in a rush to

play press agent for the shooter. The OP sees the shooter and his community as valid and important persons, those the murderer killed are presented as after thoughts, asterisks, footnotes to Omar's Big Day.

7. Omar's community is the same community as Jason Dalton or Robert Lewis Dear's

The victims are indeed valid and important, the shooters? Not so much.
