Orlando gunman was on FBI watch list, sources say

Uh oh.  This Mossad agent, um, I mean, Islamic terrorist, um, um, I mean, this shadowy fellow, who will have his past woven into a sensitive international black hole, was on a secret government watch list, maybe when the gun purchases were made.  Certainly every American national on a secret government watch list should be barred from any Article 2 right to bear arms, said the spider to the fly.

Omar Saddiqui Mateen was the gunman who opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, killing at least 50 people, two law enforcement officials told CNN.

The 29-year-old suspect was known to the FBI, the officials said — one of hundreds of people on the agency’s radar suspected of being ISIS sympathizers, according to two law enforcement officials.  

There was no indication he was plotting to carry out an attack, the officials said. Investigators haven’t found evidence yet to show that the attack was tied to ISIS, according to the officials.

Mateen, who was killed by police, is from Fort Pierce, Florida, the officials said.

The gunman was armed with a handgun, an assault rifle and an unknown number of rounds, Orlando Police Chief John Mina told reporters.

Private security guard

A law enforcement source told CNN that Mateen worked as a private security guard. He rented a car and drove to Orlando to carry out the attack, the source said.

FBI teams and local law enforcement are working to clear Mateen’s apartment, a federal law enforcement source said.

Agents are going through the apartment with bomb squads and investigating the materials there, the source said.

Police are also in the process of clearing the suspect’s vehicle, a van outside the nightclub, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said.

Radical ‘leanings’?

While sources revealed some details about the suspect Sunday morning, authorities said they weren’t yet ready to release the suspect’s name officially.

In response to a question to whether the shooter may have had a connection to radical Islamic terrorism, FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ronald Hopper said investigators are “looking into all angles right now.”

“We do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings toward that particular ideology but we can’t say definitively,” Hopper said.

Asked later by reporters why authorities were quick to point to terrorism rather than a hate crime, Hopper said more details would be revealed later.

“Early on, when we had possible identification made, we run everything to ground, whether it winds up being the actual individual or not. And so, as I mentioned earlier, I can’t say exactly who the suspect or deceased shooter is. Once we’re able to do that, once the notification is made, then more details will be able to be shared, most likely from our counterterrorism division up at FBI headquarters,” Hopper said.

  1. Yeaaa….this guy looks like your regular crisis actor. In addition to that, I’m waiting for the infamous “manifesto” to come out soon.

  2. Of course they killed him. Yet again, instead of arresting or injurying the shooter, they kill him. Dead man tell no tales.

  3. Nice to see you Henry, hope you are healing well. I thought interested his name was released right away, usually they hold off when its a Muslim. also Walid Shoebat wrote 3 days ago that ISIS would attack in Fla. Govts always are watching these idiots complete their act of terror.

  4. Just so u guys know from my own experience, it takes the police 23 minutes to respond to a robbery in progress, yet I’m supposed to believe it takes minutes for them to respond with tanks and the entire police force to a single shooting. Yea, tell me another one.

    1. Nearly the entire police force arrives within minutes then wait 3 hours to enter the building. That doesn’t make any sense. I guess SWAT is only needed to serve warrants for non violent crimes.

  5. i know it’s early but taking out a poofda palace will be too much
    for the dc poofdas.at least here on the trenches we know
    that when there are more questions than answers what time that is, hmmm
    some have said in the recient past that’ we may not have a november election., time will tell .

  6. This story cannot be true.. as there is no right wing militia involved and Islam is a religion of peace. The government says so and you know they don’t lie!

    1. Even taking its fanatics into account, Islam certainly can be considered “peaceful” in comparison with the US government, the Zionists, and their “Christian” supporters.

  7. Ok…so I guess now we are all supposed to feel sorry for the gays because they were attacked by the big, bad, scary Muslims. You just know the Michael Obama and his husband are going to fly down there and give some speeches.
    There will be some new parades and the gays will have their battle cry; “Remember the Pulse” and they’ll be saying “Orlando Strong.”

    Since this story is so obviously fake, I’ve decided to start a campaign to have Omar Mateen elected President of the United States. Sure, it’ll be a posthumous appointment, but I’d rather vote for a (supposed) dead guy who killed fifty scumbags in a gay bar than vote for the other two choices.
    CLEAN HOUSE WITH OMAR MATEEN
    MATEEN THE CLEANING MACHINE
    I gotta go start making some signs.

  8. It’s possible that this guy was a genuine ISIS sympathizer who was egged on to carry out this attack by Mossad, FBI, and/or other such turds posing as jihadist types.

    We already know how the FBI has repeatedly manipulated radical Muslim types, especially those suffering from mental illness or low cognitive ability, into attempting terrorist attacks by providing them with fake explosives, plans, etc. It’s a very small leap from that sort of entrapment to the orchestration of a REAL attack from behind the scenes.

    Whatever the case, look for this incident to be used as more propaganda ammo for gun control and general police state measures. Also watch for this incident to be used as a springboard for rhetoric linking “hate speech” to “terrorism.”

  9. The reporter on channel 9 said the gunman was seen reloading his magazines five times, so thats at least 100 rounds plus a hand gun and riffle then they said two bouncers were on the door , hmm so they just let him in? yup more bullshit. Just endless fake bullshit.

  10. This mother of one of the victims pleads at the end of the vid..

    She pleads, can’t we do something about the assault weapons?

    1. Hahaha OMG So much blubbering and so few tears. None actually and only one hanky wipe. eugene rosen would be proud. I hope this broad is looking over her shoulder as we speak, knowing that many of US are onto her and her kind.

    2. LOL. I see I’m not the only one who saw that video. I posted it in a different article about this event. That’s some horrible acting. lol.

    3. Oh god….after asking if there is anything else she would like to add before leaving, she just had to add the “can’t we do something to stop these assault weapons” line at the end. That did it right there. False flag propaganda. A million things she could have added, but instead she gave the scripted “stop assault weapons” line as if on cue.

      Unfrigginbelievable……….

      EVERY SINGLE ONE of these incidents ALWAYS has a supposed family member of a victim that says something along the lines of “ban guns” at the very end of the interview just like this one in order to try and leave the viewer with that thought. So typical.

      Not ONE of them says, “Buy more ammo” or “protect yourself with a weapon” or “Go concealed carry so nothing like this ever happens to anyone again”.

      Nope. It’s ALWAYS, “Stop assault rifles” or “ban guns”. Typical in your face propaganda.

  11. I was watching the news this morning about 6:30am my time 5:30 am Florida time , the mainstream bullchit reporter actually said the owner of the bar was writing on facebook during the shooting? Whaaat your being shot at and take time to post! ! I dont think so, sell that chit somewhere else, Im not buying their “official” story.

    1. Foehammer, the owners weren’t at the bar.
      i just read another article and the pictures look like there was a shooting. The official narative could be a forgery.
      I do believe now there was a mass shooting.
