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.

> kill (someone) as a political act.
What, do you think this guy just had personal grudges against all 50+ people he killed in that particular night club?
Of course it was political.

To both anons, the context is the police killing the gunman, not the gunman's killings.
