Asked whether the gunman had links to radical Islamist terrorism, Ronald Hopper from the FBI said:

"We do have suggestions that that individual might have leanings towards that particular ideology."

However, he added that this was not yet definitively established.

I can't even get mad at this shit any more. Let's hope we awaken to the threat in our midst before it is too late.

The TV didn't mention it was a gay club.

I have to hope that the killer was just a crazy white guy, as per usual.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Maybe radicalising American muslims online and then directing them to carry out gun/improvised attacks has become IS's preferred method for attacking the US?

Hard to counter, blurs the line between domestic and international terrorism. How best to meaningfully respond to it, given challenging the availability of guns to possible terrorists or mentally unstable, is a no-go area of policy for any US administration.

Perhaps they've realized that getting Trump elected would be the greatest act of terrorism in history.

What exactly would be your solution? Boot out American citizens whose parents came from predominantly muslim countries?
