The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

In a way, the shooter has been an absolute gift.
EVERYBODY can hang their personal agenda on the corpses. From the right's fearmongering about terrorism to everything from homophobia to gun control.
I'm in frequent contact with some Nation of Islam members, and even they were spinning this as a false flag so that blacks could be persecuted even more. Amazing!
And of course if you worship an Abrahamic god, you are no doubt in some way responsible.
