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."

Switzerland and the Czech Republic have lots of guns too, but few niggers.
Most of the gun deaths in the US are due to niggers shooting at other niggers.
The US has a nigger problem, not a gun problem.
Fun fact: if you're on the terror watch list you can still buy weapons. Thank God the 2nd amendment is more prescious than lives huh?
Remember, they're "moderate Christians" until they grab an assault weapon and start shooting up the place.
Now remember, as our President says, this was not Islamic terrorism. Islam is a beautiful culture. And this was domestic terrorism. Our President will soon be apologizing to the Muslim community for any unwelcome associations that America has made between this incident and the beautiful Islamic culture.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
Almost certainly a closeted homosexual - and since homosexuality is unthinkable in Sunni Islam, the guy's mind just spun out of control.

Atheist behave just like any other religious extremists.
Just stand back and watch how hostile they get towards those that don't follow their views.
First they will dehumanize them based on their own tribalism.
Then they start justifying why it's okay for them to hate based on their own profiling and prejudice.
The research clearly shows that you are more likely to be shot by your 4 year old with your gun than stop a mass shooting with it.

I am a Christian and if I go out and kill people it would be wrong for you to blame Christianity for my killing of other people. It is *ME* who do the killing, and I'm the one to blame for the killing
To say that the problem is Islam is like saying GUNS KILL when the culprit is the person who pulled the trigger
No, it's the MOSLEMS who are the problem
In the San Bernardino massacre it was not the assault rifles which killed. It was the MOSLEM man & wife team who killed
In the Boston Marathon Bombing the killers were not the pressure cooker, nor Islam
It was the MOSLEMS who did the killing
In the Ford Hood killing it was not Islam who did the killing. It was a MOSLEM who killed the soldiers
In WTC of NYC it was not the planes which killed the thousands of people. Again, it was the MOSLEMS who killed
Stop blaming religion or guns or whatever. It is the PEOPLE who killed
