    Pretty much. They report it as a mass shooting if it's a white, christian, or whatever. If it's related to Islam at all it's called terrorism.

    Umm, isn't the suspected shooter named Omar Mateen with Islamic leanings ? Not sure that is gonna classify as "right wing white supremacist terrorist"

    You are wrong! The FBI agent on the case, Ron Hopper, confirmed Omar's name, and are now investigating is shooting as an act of terrorism, informed by Police chief, John Mina -- who is releasing an official statement, in the next couple minutes.

    I have been watching it on TV all Morning, Thet are currently interviewing a N.Y. congressman Peter King, member of subcommittee on Counter Terrorism, has confirmed that Omar is originally from Afghanistan, and it is now being treated as act of terrorism.

    Right, so in the latest official statement we do have confirmation of the name, Omar Mateen, and he appears to be a US citizen.

    Someone on 4chan posted it was a rightwing white supremacist terrorist so it must be right.

    This confirmation literally just happened. I wasn't listening to the live press release.

    Do you want me to go on?
    I copy pasted those from that very same comment section, I didn't just make them up. My point was as someone earlier said that some people can't be seriously celebrating their deaths and I posted those to prove that they very much are.

    Also you are seeing most of the shift in comments away from the repugnant jokes and celebratory tone after they released the gunman's name. If you could scroll to when the article was just posted you would know what I meant.

    Yeah, we have some pretty horrible people here, and we know their views on this from years past when they didn't know they'd get infracted for saying awful things. Now they bite their tongue because they think being punished for celebrating dead people means the mods are bias against them.

    You're joking, surely? Dayum, two years ago when someone talked about civil war in the US, I laughed at him right here on this forum. I wouldn't today...

    No, it was confirmed at least an hour ago, in Fox News, and all kinds of officials have been weighing in, including congressmen, Florida congressman Alan Greyson is talking right now.

    I have no idea what you're watching.

    To be fair, parents consider their toddlers screaming at the top of their lung terror as well. The terminology is absolutely meaningless by now.

    No, no it wasn't. Fox had sources the shooter might be named Omar Mateen an hour ago, though CBS News reported it first, but there had been no official statement of the shooter's name prior to just now.
