[TDale313]

1. Fuck. Not a surprise, but so many so young.

[hrmjustin]

2. This is so heartbreaking!

[LostOne4Ever]

3. ...

[Solly Mack]

4. Luis S. Vielma, 22 years old

They will continue to add names as the next of kin is notified.

I am in mourning. Horrified. Tears.

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

5. That a lot of the victims are Hispanic should not be overlooked

Not with the Trump humpers screaming "Build that wall!"

[TDale313]

6. It was apparently Latin Night, so that's sadly no surprise.

Whether that was part of the shooters intention I don't know, but wouldn't surprise me. Whole thing is just heartbreaking.

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

8. Yeah

I know it was Latin Night, but with the xenophobia and anti-immigrant attacks I thought that it's also an angle worth mentioning.

Normally in times like these my (ex) journalist instincts kick in, and I try to keep an objective distance. Instead, I've been barely holding it together today. God, what a hideous day.

[TDale313]

9. It really has been

And like I said, it would not surprise me if choosing that club on that night was intentional. Racism, misogyny, and homophobia so often go hand in hand (reports coming out that the shooter's ex wife says he beat her. Former co worker talking about complaints he filed about the shooter making racist and homophobic rants)

[Person 2713]

28. Ex coworker said he was homophobic and racist so wouldn't surprise me either

[braddy]

12. I don't think that Islam is anti-Hispanic, that isn't why he killed them.

[TDale313]

13. Muslims are certainly as capable of any other group

Of hatred of other groups/races. I don't know that was the case here. In all honesty neither do you. Homophobia was clearly at the heart of this, but might there be other isms and factors at work? Possibly.

[braddy]

14. He killed them for his Islamic faith, not because some of them were Hispanic.

[TDale313]

16. You're making a lot of assumptions there

The only thing almost certain is that he killed a lot of people because they were gay. Anything else we need more info. How much his faith was a factor and what other factors still tbd.

[braddy]

17. LOL, he was ISIS and we know why he conducted his terror operation, your idea that he was

anti-Hispanic is pretty far out there and I don't see why you would want to try and sell that.

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. I'm sorry, are you really laughing out loud right now?

Something is funny to you right now?

Good God.

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. You're conducting little Internet debates and saying LOL on this subject

Your posts on this thread are embarrassing and despicable.

Childish? Check your own nonsense.

[TDale313]

20. Not selling anything.

Also, not the one who first brought up the fact that many of those killed were also Hispanic. Because it was Latin Night. It's not out of line to wonder if picking that night was totally coincidence. He targeted a Gay nightclub. Homophobia his main motivation IMO. As I said in another post racism, misogyny and homophobia often go hand in hand. A former coworker has come forward about homophobic and racist comments he made.

We don't if he was inspired by Isis or directed by Isis or neither. That has not been confirmed. Assume away.

[braddy]

21. The FBI didn't investigate him twice for being anti-Hispanic, or anti-gay, or a sexist and we

know that he swore allegiance to ISIS.

He was ISIS.

[oberliner]

34. Being anti-Hispanic and anti-gay does not generally lead to an FBI investigation

There is no reason why this person could not have had antipathy towards a wide variety of people for various reasons.

[lancer78]

26. Careful

I had a post hid because I said "Muslims hold grudges because of the Crusades, especially for what King Richard did at Acre". I was called a bigot and everything else in the jury comments.

[KamaAina]

88. What exactly does "he was ISIS" even mean?

That he watched a few of their videos on YouTube while stroking his gun?

[noiretextatique]

95. He was a homophobe

Not buying the rush to ISIS just yet.

[Warpy]

51. He killed them because he was a reprehensible rage addict

whose only charge in life came from dehumanizing other people and eventually killing them. There were plenty of warning signs about this piece of walking shit, but not everybody who issues those signs acts on them. He did.

I am glad he is dead.

He could just as easily have been an ultra far right "Christian" as a "Muslim" nutcase. C'mon, you know this.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. Kick and Rec

[chknltl]

10. I am concerned that members of a band i like may have been there.

Genetorturers who are out of Orlando. I have little doubt that they've spent time off at the PULSE.

[opiate69]

15. Hmm.. I hadn't even made that connection, old friend.

I'll go poke around and see if Mistress Gen and the boys are on the radar today.

[chknltl]

103. Hey you.

I have tons of band (Grinch) photos n negs. I am gettin old, when i leave, my relatives will likely send them to the dump. I'd rather they instead went to folks who are in those photos. Interested?

[opiate69]

106. Very interested! You still in the 253?

I'll PM you my cell #.

[chknltl]

107. barely that side of Nisqualy River

Check your PMs for more details.

[herding cats]

24. Thanks for this. NT

[retrowire]

25. So many are younger than me. And I'm only 28. This is a travesty.

We have to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING.

[Sissyk]

27. I'm heartbroken over this.

Horrific!

[MsFlorida]

29. We still wait...

People that we know, friends of people that we know, we wait. There are no words. Was worried my stepson was there, he works nearby, spends a lot of time there. Just a short bit ago, we heard from him. He is okay.

[smirkymonkey]

30. God, so very young.

Such a horrible tragedy.

[Solly Mack]

31. Kimberly Morris, 37 years old

[Solly Mack]

32. Eddie Jamoldroy Justice, 30 years old

[Behind the Aegis]

43. ...

Nina Justice sat on a bench outside the hospital and cried with her face in her hands. She had received a frantic phone call just after 2 a.m. from her son, Eddie, who was in the club when the shooting started. Minutes later she received a text.

“He texted her, ‘He’s got us hostage. I love you mommy,’” said Eddie’s cousin, Jeff Robinson.

44. It hurts so bad that I can't find the words to say just how much.

Later, there will be anger, but right now - a deep and profound sad.

[herding cats]

79. Ah, damn.

His mother yesterday.


The plight of a mother who has been unable to contact her son after the deadly shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, brings home the anguish felt by loved ones still desperately seeking information.

Christine Leinonen said she "just happened" to wake up at 3 a.m., about an hour after the shooting started at the club, Pulse. She saw a friend of her son, Christopher Leinonen, post on Facebook that there had been a shooting at the club and that he didn't "know where his friends were."

She told ABC News that she believes her son is dead but she has not received official confirmation from authorities.

Christine Leinonen told ABC News that her son's friend Brandon told her he saw that Christopher Leinonen's boyfriend "had multiple gunshots and was being taken by the ambulance but he never saw Christopher [come] out. And we haven't been able to call him or text him."

[Solly Mack]

81. I saw her and feared the worst. Rescue would bring out those who could be saved first.

Knowing the boyfriend was out suggested her son was dead.



I felt so bad for her.

[uppityperson]

82. Tears, was just reading about him and his mom

[Solly Mack]

84. Good woman. In the face of so much heartache, she calls for love.

"Please, let's all just get along," Leinonen said while gasping for breath. "We're on this earth for such a short time. Let's try to get rid of the hatred and the violence, please!"

[herding cats]

86. She's living a mothers worst night nightmare.

My heat breaks for her and all the others who lost their loved ones.

[Solly Mack]

87. Yes

One of the law enforcement guys said after the bad guy was killed. It was gut wrenching hearing all the phones ringing in the club. Prob family and friends trying to make contact.

96. Akyra Monet Murray, 18 years old

[uppityperson]

97. :(

[Solly Mack]

98. I know.

That number caught me by surprise.

They were all mostly very young and to my age, still very much kids, and to their parents - their baby no matter the age - but 18 was a number I wasn't expecting.

[BumRushDaShow]

99. She was from Philadelphia

and her death has been a big tragic story here. She just graduated 3rd in her high school class this year and I believe she is being listed as the youngest of those killed.

http://6abc.com/news/west-catholic-basketball-star-killed-in-orlando-shooting/1383652/

[Solly Mack]

100. Thank you for telling us about her.

[BumRushDaShow]

101. All on the news here...

What a sad thing. She had a basketball scholarship and was to start college this fall (in FL). Her family had just traveled to Orlando for vacation along with a couple friends and cousins, and they had been dropped off at that club by her father... Then he received the tragic call from her about being shot in the arm (and she apparently succumbed to that while hiding in the bathroom).

[Solly Mack]

102. Just starting out :(

[Solly Mack]

104. Geraldo A. Ortiz-Jimenez, 25 years old

[Solly Mack]

105. 49 have been named. The 50th name belongs to their killer. I will not name him.

[uppityperson]

110. Thank you

[Solly Mack]

111. I wonder how long it would take for someone to read all the names of those killed by hate?

by gun violence? (in America)



Fear, bigotry, ignorance, hate - all killers in one form or another. All make us less as a people because we all pay for the damage each can cause.

I am so sick of the dying.

Thank you! I needed to name them. I am happy people are telling us more about the lives of the victims.
