Orlando gunman cheered 9/11 attacks, former classmates say
As a teenage high school student in Florida, gay nightclub mass murderer Omar Mateen cheered as terrorists flew jumbo jets into the Twin Towers on 9/11, his former classmates recalled.
Self-proclaimed Islamic State devotee Mateen was a sophomore when the al Qaeda terrorists attacked New York on Sept. 11, 2001 and classmates vividly recalled his offensive reaction to Americas darkest day, according to the Washington Post.
One former classmate said he was in the same room with Mateen during the 9/11 attacks. While everyone in the classroom was shocked or angered, Mateen was celebrating.
But Omar was saying some really rude stuff. Stuff like, Thats what America deserves. That kind of thing. It wasnt right, the former classmate said.

(31,525 posts)1. I'm afraid Trump is going to flame out before the convention.
I really want to see Hillary hand him his ass.

(6,385 posts)2. I just made that same point in another thread.
I agree with you. Hate to see him peak (bottom out) too soon and give the Rethugs and excuse to run someone else. "Hand him his ass..." will be an understatement and would be a wonderful thing to watch.

Everytime he opens his mouth it gets worse for him and the Republican party.
He is single handedly destroying 35 years of Reagan era agendas over the course of a 12 month campaign.

...it's been reported that the RNC basically begged Trump to offer his condolences on Orlando and then shut the hell up.
And of course he did the opposite of that.
He's a loose cannon and he's only getting looser.
