Think about it.
Quote:Orlando, FL — The testimony of a Belle Isle police officer was given this week allowing for the first public account of what happened inside the Pulse nightclub earlier this month. Officer Brandon Cornwell’s account of what happened could explain why the death toll was so high — they were told to stand down and not to pursue the shooter.
According to Cornwell, he was one of the first seven officers on the scene. After hearing reports of shots fired, Cornwell was at the nightclub only 38 seconds later.
“Some ran towards the building, some stayed back with people running out,” he said. “There was tons of people running out of the club. I grabbed my assault rifle and ran toward the club. At this point, the shooter is still actively shooting inside.”
Within only two minutes, Cornwell and approximately six other officers had broken a large window and entered the club.
“There happens to be an OPD lieutenant commander who was there, and he says we’ve got to go in,” said Cornwell. “No one disagreed. One of the officers busted out one of those side windows” — it was approximately 10 feet tall — “and we just went in and went from there.”
Cornwell said Mateen was nowhere to be seen. The club was dim — lit with a disco ball and colored lights — and quiet except for the sound of the shooter’s gunfire, screams, and cries for help, Cornwell said as reported by MSN.
At that point, he said, “we took up a tactical position by the bar standpoint in the middle of the club.”
“He was actively shooting,” he said. “I can’t say if he was targeting us. But he was still shooting in that location where he was at. There were bullet holes in the wall, so he had shot through the wall. But I couldn’t tell you if he was shooting at us.”
Cornwell recalled getting orders not to pursue the shooter, hold their position and wait for SWAT. It would take SWAT a long time to respond.
Cornwell explained that he and the other officers obeyed the orders not to stop Mateen, and they held their position for “15 or 20 minutes — could’ve been longer” until the SWAT team arrived.
Cornwall described hearing gunshots and screams for help as they sat there — waiting for SWAT.
When asked if he felt the urge to disobey the order to stand down and try to stop Mateen, Cornwell said he had to follow orders. “I couldn’t tell you. I was following lieutenant’s command,” he said.
“We got word from higher up, and it was communicated to the OPD lieutenant that we needed to withdraw,” he said. “So we came back outside. And waited for SWAT. SWAT arrived. SWAT handled everything from there.”

Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin is now asking the same question. She put out a video on her Facebook page she titled "Where the HELL is the Orlando jihadist's missing wife?"
I don't know what bothers me more -- the fact that the Obama administration thought we'd forget about this or the media's refusal to pursue it.
You can bet that if the Bush administration let an accomplice to violence roam free, they press would be putting it on the front page every day. This is getting beyond the pale. Between this and Twitter, the media doesn't even pretend to be non-partisan anymore.

Quote:June 2016 saw the most FBI gun background checks of any June since the current system went into effect.
The agency reported on Sunday that it processed more than 2.1 million gun related checks in June, an increase of more than 600,000 over the previous record set last year. That makes June the 14th month in a row to see a new background check record, including every month of 2016. This year is on pace to break 2015’s record for most checks in a year.
Last month’s numbers are still lower than the first four months of the year, which tracks with standard seasonal lulls in sales for the industry. However, June’s numbers are higher than May’s—a departure from previous years when June had traditionally seen the fewest checks of any month.
June’s record comes as gun and ammunition dealers have seen spikes in sales following the deadly terror attack in Orlando, Florida and a subsequent push for new gun control measures in the House and Senate. Some companies saw a five-fold increase in sales during the weeks following the attack and legislative push.

Indeed, these 2.1 million guns disagree as well. FBI: 2.1 Million NICS checks for June 2016

Quote:“Yes, we have seen a dramatic spike in sales volume (around five times normal levels) especially in the .223/5.56 caliber and to a lesser extent 9mm, .45 ACP, and .308 but the increase is definitely across the board,” Scott Blick, managing partner at Ammunition Depot, told the Washington Free Beacon in June.

Anabasis was about to drop a datasheet on Ethiopia, which reputedly has the hottest African women. That would have been a real contribution to this forum.
You're defending Matt for the increasingly political tilt of the forum. Not sure everyone would agree that's a good thing. There's an increasing tension between game and politics.
Regardless of that, it's a shame good members are being cut to accomodate the party line. Anabasis was accused on being "entryist" in this thread. Doesn't bode well.

Anabasis was not banned for his views. He was banned for attacking a fellow very public member calling him fat and making fun of some of his past pics.
While personally I would have preferred to give him another chance it is ultimately Roosh's decision - and those may sometimes be human - occasionally too lenient or too strict - no one is perfect.
Anyone should be able to defend his opinions at any time. Sure - you will be hard-pressed to defend feminism or Anti-Game here, but aside from that you find anyone from Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Libertarians, even semi-Marxists here. As long as you don't take offense easily and defend your views somewhat logically, then there is a place for you.
Attacking a fellow member, especially when that member has his face and name out in the open is not cool. We don't have to slip to the level of SJWs. Keep it civil, cool down, drink a beer, fuck a girl and then what has upset you before does not look so grim anymore.

The media does not allow genuine and productive discussion of the issues, or follow up on things like Mateen's wife. It's eerie and unhealthy: "nothing to see here". Contributes to the feeling that an unprecedented upheaval of some kind is coming.

More should have been made of this -- I'm disgusted by how little mention it merited anywhere. It goes without saying that the media buried it as deeply as possible, and devoted what space they were obliged to give it to "Orlando strong" and LGBTQ cant, while studiously avoiding any discussion of who did it and why. But even the Trump admin -- excusably preoccupied though it is with the endless sedition against it -- made far too little of this anniversary.
Lest we forget, a year ago we had an administration in power that dared to transcribe this loser's "pledge" on tape as follows:
Quote:Mateen: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted].
The most appropriate celebration of the anniversary was by US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which today issued another obviously unconstitutional ruling against the extremely modest and watered-down travel ban.
It will be interesting to see what happens when the next of these disgusting attacks comes around. The T admin will have some cards to play and I hope it uses them well.
Quote:THE wife of Omar Mateen, who committed a massacre in the Pulse nightclub in 2016, reportedly told the FBI that she knew about his plot beforehand — and did nothing to stop it.
Noor Salman — whose husband gunned down 49 people in the club — told investigators that she “knew that her husband was going to attack the Pulse nightclub” when he left the house on the night of June 11 last year, according to documents obtained by USA Today.
“I knew later, when I could not get ahold of him that my fears had come true and he did what he said he was going to do,” Salman said, according to the newspaper.
“I was in denial and I could not believe that the father of my child was going to hurt other people.”
The wife also said she was warned repeatedly about the specific location and timing of the attack.
“How upset are people going to be when it gets attacked?” Mateen asked his wife at one point while they were driving by the club, according to her statement.
Salman also witnessed her husband browsing the Pulse website and declaring “this is my target.”
On the night before one of the most devastating mass shootings in US history, Salman said her husband loaded up on firearms and ammunition.
“This was the time that he was going to do something bad,” she said.
Before leaving the house Mateen told his wife, “This is the one day.”
She apologised at the end of her statement.
“I’m very sorry I lied to the FBI. These are my words.”
Salman is facing charges of aiding a terrorist organisation and obstruction of justice at her trial to be held in March.
