| The Club Q Shooting May Not Be What the Left Wants You to Believe It Is |
| 2022-11-21 |
| BLUF: [PJ] The media quickly sought to blame conservative Christians for the shooting, concluding that the shooter specifically targeted the Pulse nightclub because it was a gay nightclub. This wasn’t true. For starters, the shooter wasn’t even Christian; Omar Mateen was Muslim and had pledged allegiance to ISIS. Nor was the shooting about anti-LGBT hate. As Vox reported in April of 2018, "There’s now conclusive evidence that the shooter wasn’t intending to target LGBTQ people at all." According to a report from the Huffington Post titled "Everyone Got The Pulse Massacre Story Completely Wrong," also published the same month, "Mateen had never been to Pulse before, whether as a patron or to case the nightclub. Even prosecutors acknowledged in their closing statement that Pulse was not his original target; it was the Disney Springs shopping and entertainment complex." Despite this, the myth that the attack was a hate crime specifically targeting the LGBT community remains alive and well. There’s even a planned memorial and museum — yes, a museum — dedicated to perpetuating the lie that this was an LGBT hate crime. |

| #12 I should have got in early with my theory that he was radicalized by Pokemon Go. I guess I need to rustle up a couple hundred boys to help me out when the next radical known to the FBI goes berserk. |

| #8 "Everyone Got The Pulse Massacre Story Completely Wrong," The intent was to set a narrative, truth be damned. and it worked. the left realized long ago that get in early with the lies and that is what many will believe forever even after disproven. See Paul Pelosi stories, or nearly anything involving Trump. |

| #3 It is not known why, if this is the same person, he was out on the streets already, but his violent history would seem to point to mental health problems, not a political agenda. But doesn't a mental health problem suggest he is (pick one) a left-wing loonie, or a conservative, Christian, election-denying, Trump-loving, gun-toting right-wing loonie? |

| #1 Idaho college student murders: FOX - Idaho student murders: Former officers say police 'jumped the gun' with initial 'targeted' attack statement May or may not have "jumped the gun." No toxicology reports released. No information on the possibility of drugs found in the home. Investigators probably know more than is being released in news briefings. Just my guess. "Targeted killing." Killer might have been after one person. Darkened rooms may have led him (or them) to kill everyone in order to get the target. Hopefully a chronological 'social network' deep-dive is being conducted. Friends & family, travel, cell phones, etc. |
