A suspected Islamic terrorist opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 50 people and wounding another 53 before he was killed by police. While authorities continue to investigate to determine whether this man had ties to ISIS, the terror organization has not been quiet in praising the attack. This comes three days after ISIS announced they would attack somewhere in Florida. Today's attack marks the largest act of terrorism on US soil since 9/11.

Nope. Is dumping some information with a few line breaks all it takes to outrage you?

Outrage? I don't know where you're getting that from.

Why shouldn't I ask such questions? It was unclear to me what you were trying to say, so I asked what your intent was. That doesn't imply that I am outraged; it implies that I don't understand your writing. If your intent is unclear and I shouldn't ask for clarification, I should do what, make wild-assed assumptions about what you mean (like you appear to be doing about me)?
You made a conjecture about the incident impacting transgender hate, then followed it by a tweet where Trump is expressing sympathy for the (transgender) victims. It's not crazy for someone to think that tweet was intended to support your conjecture. Many people write their posts with a logical flow, rather than treating each paragraph as being completely unrelated to the others, as you appear to do.
