Wife Claims She Tried to Talk Orlando Club Gunman Out of Attack

The wife knew.. throw the book at her!

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/Wife-claims-she-tried-to-talk-Omar-Mateen-out-of-attack-382958401.html

Orlando gunman Omar Mateen's current wife, Noor Salman, has told the FBI that she drove Mateen to the Pulse nightclub on a prior occasion and that she tried to talk him out of conducting any kind of attack, officials told NBC News.
Law enforcement officials said authorities are considering filing criminal charges against her for failing to tell them what she knew before the attack, but no decision has been made yet.

And the FBI didn't have to do a thing. She is singing beautifully for them. Honestly this is why most need lawyers. She will end up in jail no doubt.

Not in a Newt Gingrich 'inform on your neighbor' sort of way but Jesus Christ she's arguably the closest person to the shooter and she couldn't call the authorities?

Fuck.

He'd been reported a couple of times in the past, if I read the stories correctly yesterday...

He's out casing the place with his wife. She knew enough of his plans to state that she attempted to dissuade him.

He was casing and targeting . . . what a better place to find out where people will be and when than by 'casing the joint' and then being in tune with a community.

The gay hook up apps and the multiple personal accounts going back years point to closet case.

Since we all know the "duck faced selfie" monster, who hated women, like all gay men, is really still just a closet case.

Closet case closed!

I am just amazed at all the homophobia experts who have "outed" themselves with this event.
