This is what the right has been pushing for the last 3 days.

(90,348 posts)Hate crime against gays. Not changed.
50 dead people still dead. Not changed.
One guy with two guns did it. Not changed.
Ability to stop fuckers like him from getting those guns. Not changed.
So, yeah. This really doesn't "change everything."

Sure would 'splain a lot if so and disqualify his claims of association with terrorist organizations which he seems to be confused about.

NRA, Right Wing Politicians, are tinkled fucking pink painting the shooter as an ISIS Terrorist (which he obviously is not, just using them as cover)... The Punk...
Call it what it fucking is.. a despicable human being filled with mental illness which lead him down his path of destruction.... So Republicans quit deflecting the issue of ISIS Involvement...Its bullshit!

I'm not sure what it changes IF he were gay. Is it not homophobia, not a hate crime? (answer, it is). What do you think it changes, what "everything"?
busterbrown
(8,515 posts)are speaking to the crime through A convenient Terrorist issue.. Meaning that ISIS and our govts.inability to protect our country is the real issue.. Didnt you hear how Trump Responded? Its about Obama and his inability to protect the country... Is that what you think it is? .. The Fuck it is.. Its about domestic terrorism...Homophobic nuts getting easy access to death machines..
uppityperson
(115,678 posts)And yes, I have read that on facebook also along the appalling lines of "who cares, let them kill each other". People can be real assholes, spouting that bs.
It is a hate crime, homophobic nuts getting easy access to death machines.
