Terror in Orlando

[brich330]

By definition terrorists want to instill fear in to people so they drop the rational part of their brain and either become afraid or ultra violent like them. Typically loan wolf terrorists though usually have some sort of mental illness or there is some sort of extenuating circumstances we don't know about yet. I'm just glad everybody on the team is ok and pray for the victims.

I can't believe that the deadliest shooting in American history just took place in Orlando

Based on some of the cast member Facebook groups, at least a couple of the victims were employees of Disney.

It's also a popular location for college program students, so I'm keeping an eye on that

John and I are okay.

Angry, frustrated, devastated...but okay.

While respecting you opinion, I believe its this kind of politically correct mentality that has brought us to this point.

A "politically correct mentality" does not inspire anyone to do a murderous raid on a gay nightclub.

Let's not try to score political points in the aftermath of this tragedy. The person responsible was the gunman.

This is just absolutely enraging. The level of intolerance in this country is honestly terrifying, and it makes me question what we have become. I do not see this as an isolated incident but rather yet another outcome of months of national hostility and hate. For some reason, some think it is ok to impose their views on others, doing whatever they deem necessary to ensure that everyone lives by their standards. This shooter is not the problem but rather the symptom of a much larger problem.

I'm praying for everyone and hoping we can all spread some more love instead of hate.

It's all over the news in the UK, it's just awful.

Sending thoughts, prayers and support to the victims and families.

Terrible news. I hope no one else dies from this attack and I hope the wounded fully recover. I hope there will be changes to stop or reduce such attacks in the future.

thanks for checking in....it was on the news here non-stop as it happened - the way they cover things here....what they call an 'open studio'....non-stop coverage....
so terribly upsetting...all those innocent victims and their families......just horrifying.....
unimaginable what the victims went through....

I am really glad that everyone from the team are ok. This is a really awful situation. I am leading the evening service at my Church tonight and we will be praying for everyone affected, their families and friends.

The name of the club is Pulse. I went there once when I was doing my CareerStart Internship back in 2006.

I can't believe they said the gunman did it in the name of Islam. I have friends living down there, and I'm praying that they are ok.
Update: 50 dead, 53 wounded, and 30 hostages saved.

I can't believe they said the gunman did it in the name of Islam.

Sadly, I absolutely can. Seems like he pledged allegiance to ISIS and [edit] listened to a speaker call for gay men to be murdered at his Mosque.

Like I said, the 21st century... we have no room for this nonsense and ignorance. Evolve, "people" (I say that loosely).

 

[hookedonears]

Seems simple to me, he's saying you can defeat hate through education.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, yea, right.

 

[Irish_Mike]

At least one of the victims, Luis Vielma, has been identified as a Universal team member.

 

[Guyton dis lover]

This is a sad day. Pray for all.

 

[GerriS]

Grateful to know the DIS team is safe. What a tragic event.

Prayers and continued thoughts for the victims, families, friends, and the city of Orlando.

Hi everyone,

While the city of Orlando is picking up the pieces of the horrifying act of terrorism that happened at Pulse, I wanted to let all of you know how you can help the families of those who were affected.

There is a Go Fund Me page that has been set up to support the victims of the Pulse shooting. Every dollar helps and no amount is too small. There is no charge to donate, so please consider helping these families.

https://www.gofundme.com/pulsevictimsfund

Also, if you happen to live in Florida, many blood banks are now setting up appointments for donations as the walk-in traffic at OneBlood has been overwhelming and they'll need their supplies replenished. Please consider donating blood.

Let's all do what we can and make a difference for these grieving families!

 

[SorcererHeidi]

Thanx for the info, Jackie.

True, but also knowing that you cant try to be nice, educate, understand or do anything else idiotic in nature to change people like this guy. These people hate America and everything it stands for and there's NOTHING we can do to change them, except to keep them from coming in and make them unwelcome to stay. These people need to be in a class alright, taught by Professor Glock. That's the only answer.
