World Reacts To The Worst Mass Shooting In U.S. History (cnn.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN: Fifty people were killed inside Pulse, a gay nightclub, Orlando Police Chief John Mina and other officials said Sunday morning, just hours after a shooter opened fire in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. At least 53 more people were injured, Mina said. Police have shot and killed the gunman, he told reporters.
The shooter is not from the Orlando area, Mina said. He has been identified as Omar Saddiqui Mateen, 29, of Fort Pierce, about 120 miles southeast of Orlando, two law enforcement officials tell CNN.
Orlando authorities said they consider the violence an act of domestic terror. The FBI is involved. While investigators are exploring all angles, they "have suggestions the individual has leanings towards (Islamic terrorism), but right now we can't say definitely..."
In the discussion on this submission, Slashdot readers reported that Reddit is among the sites that have removed some discussions about the shooter's identity, with one reader even reporting "Posts directing people where and how to give blood have been removed."

I'd say that shows very clearly that depending on the cops for protection is a losing strategy. If you want to protect yourself, your friends and loved ones, and innocent people around you, you should carry at all times.
Ironically, the idea of being able to defend yourself seems to be anathema to some people...
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
The current Slashdot is under the strict control of Islam and the moslems
And I prove it with a comment of my own
One of my recent comment - https://slashdot.org/comments.... - was down-modded all the way to '0' as "Flamebait" by the Slashdot Editors, after it was up-modded to "5" Insightful by the registered Slashdot users
The comment itself talked about the danger of criticizing moslems in Europe
It wasn't an attack on moslems or Islam per se
The comment was based on TRUE FACTS (read at the links on the comments to find out) but still, the Slashdot Editors saw it fit to down-mod it all the way to '0' 'Flamebait' _AFTER_ it had been up-modded to '5' by registered Slashdot users
I have been a long time Slashdot user and I can tell you that Slashdot in its original form wasn't like this
Slashdot in its original form wasn't so pro Islam (nor was it anti Islam)
