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."

peace out
I call 911 and declare myself an agent of the Pope, but that doesn't make it true now, does it genius?
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.
Atheism can be a religion too. However, there is one true LORD that reigns.
Almost certainly a closeted homosexual - and since homosexuality is unthinkable in Sunni Islam, the guy's mind just spun out of control.

Atheism *is* a religion, which generally goes along with Statism.
In Florida, you can buy guns at the drive-thru liquor stores. But they've got a 10-second waiting period on AR-15s with high capacity mags.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Your bullshit. You're doing the same thing every other asshole American Exceptionalist does in pinning all violence carried out by people who might be Muslim on Islam, while pretending his own Christianist shit doesn't stink.
Get that beam outta your eye before complaining about motes.
You are a disgusting hypocrite.
If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.
You're sort of correct. At least if comparison is your objective. You see, that Christian loon is working from their own understanding of something. That Muslim loon actually has a church preaching the death and destruction. Quite a bit off difference.
But I find it telling of the type of person you are that seems more concerned with past aggression of members of one religion than the current and repeated atrocities actually taught and encouraged by another. It is almost as if you can accept Muslims killing gays but not Christians killing people killing unborn babies.
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.
Oh look. Another special flower. Everyone here self identifies as Apsie. What a joke.
I am an immigrant. I came from China.
I will say this --- Close down the border
Yes, I am saying this, as an immigrant
No longer I want to see America suffer
No longer I want to see any of my fellow Americans killed by someone related to immigrants
Yes I know, that moslem fucker was born in America, but if his immigrant parents didn't move to America from abroad he wouldn't have been born inside America and kill innocent people!
I know a lot of folks will send hate mail my way. They will call me a hypocrite. They will challenge me to move back to China. They will want to see that I, along as all my children, be thrown out of USA.
I know that will happen, but I am still going to stick to what I have said --- "CLOSE DOWN THE BORDERS"
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
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.

John Salvi and others like him aren't muslim. Neither was Tim McVeigh. Neither were countless other members of fine organizations such as the KKK, which has a /lot/ of sympathizers among whites that "want to take back their country." (from who?)
There are more people murdered by christians, as raw numbers /and/ percentage, in the US than by Muslims.
Today was Gay Pride day. I'll give you a hint about the religion of the vast majority of people who "roll fags."
- they're not Muslim.
Go. Fuck. Yourself.

I see an atheist has mod points.

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
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
Dying breed? Says what? Look at Europe. Look at the various socialist failed states around the world.
If I'm a dying breed, then you're a still born breed. You have no future. Every society you take control of you destroy. And what is left when you've left the population hungry, broken, and desperate?
Idiots like you turn stable republics into banana republics and banana republics breed dictators and kings.
You're a peasant wears your own chains in your mind.
Right wing am I?
What does left wing mean?
What does right wing mean?
Left and right go back to the French revolution and they really have very little meaning outside of that context.
The right for example suggests a belief that kings and the clergy should control all social and governmental affairs. That democracy should not exist. That republics should not exist. That free speech should not exist. That the people have no rights not granted to them by the elites.
Where as the left historically believed in meritocracy. It believed in democracy. It believed in freedom of speech. Freedom of religion. Freedom - Period.
Who sounds more like the left and right these says you deluded peon?
I reject both the right and the left as labels because neither one is descriptive of anything beyond mindless tribalism or Marxists masquerading as enlightenment era freedom fighters.
The entire sick stack of shit is coming down. You've finally reached your peter point. You've risen to the limit of your incompetence. And its coming down. No amount of denial is going to stop it.
You're like a dying star... you burned the sweet hydrogen... you burned the oxygen and the carbon... you're down to iron.
Its nova or brown out time. Its heads I win or tails you lose. The world belongs to those that can see it. You're blind.
I've decided to stop wasting my time responding to AC trolls/sockpuppets... so if you want a response from me... login.
