I think I have heard this before and while I am willing to give pre 911 a pass on this issue, not so this time. Some heads HAVE to roll.this time. This is bullshit.

The FBI can just claim, like they always do, that they are understaffed and need a few billion more in the annual budget. Lather, rinse, repeat after the next attack. They have no chance really. There are 50,000 people on the terror watch list, maybe more.

Yeah I heard that on the news tonight...the break-in. Raised an eyebrow or two.

The FBI fingerprints are all over this one. Its almost as if the conspiracy nuts are right this time. I mean these idiots talk like the FBI takes guys like this, they first investigate them, then they close the case, then they groom them for the task. I mean, its stupid to even consider that the FBI, an organization with a stellar record of law abiding behavior, would do such a thing. Someone needs to take the keyboards away from these silly bastard conspiracy crazies

[STRAYHORSE]

Who benefits from this tragedy? The FBI, DOJ, BO, Madam Hillary, ant-gun rights activists, and/or the LBGT movement? Was the shooter(s) gay? Are boys routinely raped in Afghanistan? What did rgw shooter (s) family know about homosexual abuses in their country? Is this a cultural issue being used as a anti-gun issue? Watch and learn America. Play close attention to the elephant in the room.......

NO NO NO these people ALWAYS SAY THIS . OVER and OVER the CITIZENS get lies instead of ANY JUSTICE of any KIND !

JOIN the NRA and learn to SHOOT safely in a killing situation to save yourself and your loved ones when needed.

NEVER EVER listen to the OBUMMER again !

Most terror attacks in the US are instigated by the FBI and Orlando is no exception. Elected or appointed officials are liars for the establishment and care nothing for the welfare of the populace. Officials are the enemy.

So now these rubes want more of they waste most. Piles of cash.
