By ISIS no less. Welp, guess all gay bars are now closed. :/

Very sad to see violence continue to escalate in this way. Can't believe this is the most violent shooting in US history.

Re: orlando shooting
 

dude said it was for isis but they haven't claimed the attack
bunch of dudes on pro-radical islam forums are saying it was a good thing though

Re: orlando shooting
 

Yeah, it sucks. Happened really close to me. Still have an acquaintance who is still unaccounted for.

Re: orlando shooting
 

This is why crowded events make me uncomfortable.

Re: orlando shooting
 

Hope everything turns out ok and you can get ahold of your buddy.

Re: orlando shooting
 

Dang only an hour and a half from me. Too close to home

Re: orlando shooting
 

it's really fucked up and I haven't heard back from friends I have in Orlando

actually feel sick


like we go to gay clubs in halifax all the time. imagine if someone were to just show up and shoot up the whole place just because they feel strongly against homosexuals.

Re: orlando shooting
 

Being a homosexual, this has been a fear of mine. I still get harassed constantly on the street even in Vancouver... All it takes in a fraction of a second and you can ruin the lives of millions...

Re: orlando shooting
 

nearly 50 years of gay rights in the making and "stay alive" is still on the agenda
sad as fuck

Re: orlando shooting
 

This sort of thing really does ruin your day when you were literally at a gay club a week ago.

Re: orlando shooting
 

wow

Re: orlando shooting
 

Apparently they busted some other fuckass in Los Angeles who was planning the same thing.

Re: orlando shooting
 

The possibility of tragedies like this happening run through my mind everyday.
Knowing that we must be cautious of the same acts of violence and hatred present centuries ago..
It shows we have not actually progressed towards peace in a long time, and that some people appear to not want to advance at all.

I say this to all my friends, family, strangers and all;
"Be safe".

Re: orlando shooting
 

I find it highly amusing that the narrative around this shooting is literally already about gun control and that it's apparently all white people's fault.
Holy shit get it together liberal media, this is the kind of jumping to conclusions that makes people vote for Trump.

That said, my heart goes out to those affected.

Re: orlando shooting
 

I used to go clubbing, raving, concerts, mass social events all the time. I don't anymore.

Re: orlando shooting
 

I've seen a lot of completely idiotic news articles and facebook posts over this event. Sadly some people want to use it as an example to champion some sort of social justice cause, rather than acknowledge the act of terrorism that it is.

RIP gay brothers and sisters.

Re: orlando shooting
 

This is awful

50 people, holy shit. I can't get over that number

Re: orlando shooting
 

I go out like 2-3 times a week to gay bars, being extremely gay. It has never once popped into my head that someone could/would come into a gay bar maliciously... it is the one place where we can go that we don't have to feel judged, at least for being gay there is still a lot of judging going on...

all jokes aside it is awful that a hate crime could escalate to this amount of destruction. I have no encouraging words to say right now. =/
