The killing in Florida is looking like a hate crime.

When the police involved don't know all the information it is a safe bet the media is lying.

Did I hear that right? I am sure I didn't hear that right.

50 dead and 50 wounded, that can't be correct. The police are still be confusing. It sounded as though there are fifty dead and fifty-three in the hospital. Many are critically ill. The local blood banks can receive blood donations. That was a smart question

Faith leader calling for assistance of any people, including the Muslim faiths, to assist in building the intelligence regarding this killing of fifty people.

Orlando is a fun city as well as an American city facing issues of violence. I am sure the parks in the Orlando have their own security. I would guess they are probably adding more for the next few days. People with children should feel safe and ACTUALLY are safe. There is no terror connection identified by authorities involved with this tragedy. 

My sincere sympathies to the families. Hopefully they will be at the bedside of their family members soon. 

I think having a Muslim clergy on the site to bring a full understanding regarding the involvement of the faithful to assist with any information to the authorities. I think that was very, very smart. Having a clergy at such an incidents provides several opportunities, ministering to any of their faithful at the hospital and blessing the dead. 

There is a chance with fifty people dead and fifty-three injured, there were Muslims in the club. Muslims can be a member of the LGBTQ community. This community longs for faith no different than others.

The family of the shooter would know if he was attached to a broader network. If such knowledge existed in the family and it was not reported the family would be part of the violence that resulted and could be held for crimes.

Looking the other way is implicated in such plots of violence. I am sure the community, which appears to be numerous, does not want their young men and women traveling to Syria or other areas of the world equally as dangerous. 

This particular hate crime if motivated by hate for the LGBTQ community is religious based, but, it is not a terrorist event. Many religions do not consider this community as part of their congregation regardless of the attendance they may practice. So, the hate came from somewhere and it is based in people ostracized from practicing the religion they long to be a part of. The idea this was a Muslim man that carried out the killing doesn't mean other religions might spin such hate. However, murder is forbidden by the same religions that are biased against some people.

The difference in the number of victims in Orlando may be due to the fact the gunman was trained in weapons use due to his job. Not all the people involved in mass murders were trained to handle the guns they used. The other killers might have been practiced, but, there is a very big difference between practicing and training.

The media simply can't resist the propaganda of speculation. They talk out of both sides of their mouths. They condemn the political dialogue of inflammatory words, but, it is okay for the media to speculate for ratings. They don't care about preventing ill will and violence, it is just that they are not conducting the discussion.

Somehow the discussion about violence by the media is magical and will end it or contain it. NOT.
