PR man sez he was shooter's lover - Pulse attack was HIV Pos 'revenge'
[The Mail] A man claiming to be the Orlando shooter's lover says Omar Mateen was livid after discovering he'd had sex with an HIV-positive man. The Hispanic gay man, identified only as Miguel, told Univision he met Omar Mateen on Grindr before they became 'friends with benefits', meeting up 20 times at a hotel in Orlando, Florida.

Miguel described Mateen as a confused gay man and a heavy drinker who was attracted to - but felt rejected by - Latinos. He believes Mateen's massacre on Pulse nightclub's Latin Night was an attempt at 'revenge' after discovering that one of the two Puerto Rican gay men he'd had a threesome with was HIV-positive.

Speaking in fluent Spanish and broken English, Miguel said that despite tests coming up negative, Mateen feared not enough time had passed for an accurate result, and he wanted to 'make them pay'.

Story also found at the Daily News....same Univision interview sourced.
If accurate, many questions answered.
Except for all the questions about his background, his conversations with others in the home country, etc.

#1 Because Islam is Religion of Peace, it's always difficult to figure the motivation in Muslim attacks.

#2 If HIV revenge was the motive, why did he invoke Islam?

Because Mohammed (Poop Be Upon Him) was gay??

#4 Because Mohammed (Poop Be Upon Him) was gay??

Perhaps just an opportunist...women, soldiers, slaves, boys, girls, goats...exploiting his 'gift of exhortation'.

"Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation . . . "Romans 12:6-8

#5 Livid? What's wrong with following in Arafat's footsteps? So to speak.

#7 He was already primed since childhood through his parents' Pashtun culture and his interest in jihadi videos. Knowing that he'd been exposed to a dread disease merely pulled the trigger and set the target.

#8 Look at his picture. He is not what he appears. His chin, cheeks, eye bags, nose and hair are prostetics. It's so poorly done even I can pick it out. This joker is a plant. Do not believe one word from him.

#9 Hair and chin for sure, the rest... Dunno.

#10 Maybe he wore a disguise for the TV cameras. He sure is ugly.

#11 I don't buy it. This guy was paid by Soros or someone to derail the more obvious ISIS connection so they could continue the gun grab attempts.

Says that in the article: "Univision disguised the man's identity with a prosthetic mask and altered the tone of his voice."

Never mind.

Because Islam gave him the license and encouragement to do what is otherwise proscribed in our culture.
