Comey's description of the FBI investigations into the Orlando shooter is fascinating -- (edited)

Posted by znufrii, dad. (aka znufrii) Jun 13 '16, 09:52

Dude basically went down the list of Islamic militant movements, ignoring the fact that different groups hate each other as much as if not more than they hate everyone else.

Did he wear an explosive vest? - Strongbad Jun 13, 09:59 9
- It's not being mentioned in the current reporting. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:14 8
  - It looks like it's still unknown. I just found an article stating that during the event, he was telling PD that he had a vest on. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:16 7
    - I can't imagine why he might have lied about something like that... -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:20 6
      - I don't understand how lieing would have helped him in that scenario, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:21 5
        
        Keeps the cops at bay of they think he might blow himself up and take the hostages with him. - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:23
        
        "Come in and I blow up myself and the hostages" is a threat law enforcement would treat with caution -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 10:23 2
        
        I realize we're still putting all the facts together, but this article disagrees. -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:24 1
        
        And the shooter would have known that...how? -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:29
        
        it discourages the cops from entering that space if they think he truly has a bomb strapped to his body -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 10:22
Which all goes back to my general belief that this was a hateful, murderous psychopath in search of a cause that justified his actions rather than a - pmb Jun 13, 09:56 17
- Right - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:09
- Do we know yet if he attended any of the "camps" or other brainwashing training exercises? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:01 13
  - From what I've seen of his dad, that was probably enough brainwashing. -- nm - Ender Jun 13, 10:03 12
    - That doesn't jive with the ex-wife who says he abused steroids and was bi-polar, but did not show signs of radicalism -- (link) - ty97 Jun 13, 10:10 5
      - so, on the FBI list and Bipolar, yeah, let's let him buy guns! -- nm - groiny Jun 13, 10:14 4
        
        I'm beginning to think that the NRA's single-minded crusade to eliminate barriers to gun ownership in this country may not be the best approach. -- nm* - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:35 3
        
        I love that it is harder for me to buy 2 boxes of sudafed than it is to get an AR-15. -- nm - groiny Jun 13, 10:39 2
        
        The only thing that can stop a bad cold with a gun is a good cold with a gun! - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:41
        
        *bans Kinder Surprises again* -- nm - Beaker Jun 13, 10:40
    - All I had read about his father was that he was anti-Pakistani. What else was there? -- nm - pmb Jun 13, 10:06 5
      - He's also pro-Taliban and has a TV show in California. -- nm - Ender Jun 13, 10:08
      - there's some wacky video out there apparently which suggests he thinks he's the president of Afghanistan. - Mel Profit Jun 13, 10:08 3
        
        No, it's more a "mocking the Afghan president". And sounds more pro-Pashtun than pro Taliban -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 10:21 2
        
        That's what I got out of it. Not pro-Taliban. He was against the Pakistani's that were enabling the Taliban. -- nm - pmb Jun 13, 10:45
        
        Ah. Got it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 13, 10:26
- Every generation gets its "these dangerous people will destroy society!". In the early 1900s it was the Anarchists. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 09:57 1
  - If only they had organized ... -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 10:33
