Fuck your retarded photos! II don't care about your fucking photos! Is *that* what you consider abuse?

The fuck you think those sand monkeys going to do to you, give you flowers? Use the old bag you call a body to breed? They only like 9 year olds, not ancient mummys.

You take vacuum cleaners to the head from your close "friends" & you cry about fucking photos?

You people are mentally ill!

No. What I consider abuse is a young lady in Sweden contacting ME of all people for help when she was being STALKED by you and your buddies...and threatened, I might add.

Abuse is having to see photos of people who have blown their brains out when you have a brother dieing of brain cancer.

Abuse is having to read someone say that your dying brother is fictional as is his fictional disease...when he is in his final days.

Abuse is sitting and reading that you are a dried up old cunt, a retard, a....everything else that you and your buddies like to call women that won't get on their knees for you...

Hell, you're verbally abusing me right here! "Old bag you call a body". "Ancient mummy". Is that how you show respect to women who have given life?

As for the person who assaulted me. He went to jail, and hopefully he has quit abusing alcohol...

One doesn't have to be beaten to be abused, you know...

And why do your stores smell so fucking bad???

That's an American phenomenon when F A T Texans and rude Californians have been in them.

Gunmakers’ shares jumped following the massacre at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub that left at least 49 people dead.

Sturm Ruger & Co. climbed 8.7 percent to $62.43 at 9.34 am on Monday in New York after gaining 8.9 percent, its most intraday since late February. Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. surged 10 percent to $23.57 following a 12 percent advance, its biggest intraday increase since January 5.

Shares of gun manufacturers typically increase after a mass shooting as investors speculate that tougher gun-control laws may be enacted, spurring sales before any new measures take effect. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which is used to vet consumer gun purchases and is a gauge of firearm demand, jumped more than 25 percent for the three months through January, Smith & Wesson said in March. That period included a terrorist shooting in San Bernardino, California, and coordinated attacks in Paris.
Barack Obama gives statement on Orlando shooting Play! 02:08

President Barack Obama said the Orlando spree on Sunday, the worst mass shooting in US history, is a reminder of how easy it is to obtain weapons under US law. “We have to decide if that’s the kind of country we want to be,” he said. “And to actively do nothing is a decision as well.”

Hillary Clinton, the probable Democratic nominee for president, will push for “common-sense” gun restrictions, including bringing back a ban on semi-automatic rifles known as assault weapons, she said in a CNN interview on Monday.



The suspect in the shooting, Omar Mateen, was armed with an assault-type weapon and a handgun and had claimed allegiance to the Islamic State in a 911 call during the attack, authorities said.

The surge of gun demand following mass shootings — fuelled either by speculation about stricter gun control or by a heightened desire for self-defence — usually subsides. That has created a volatile industry that gunmakers have tried to address by making their production more flexible.

“There have been some significant ups and downs in demand as political rhetoric and threats have spurred demand above the underlying normal rate,” Michael Fifer, Sturm Ruger Chief Executive Officer, said at the company’s annual meeting last month.

“These spikes in demand have then been followed by periods when demand retreated as the threats to gun rights failed to materialise to quite the degree that had caused the spike in the first place.”



In January 2016 President Obama unveiled a plan to cut gun violence in the US. His proposals included:

Closing the “gun show loophole”:
Private dealers, operating at gun shows or online, would now be considered “in the business” of selling guns if they accept credit cards, rent a table at a show, or have business cards. They would then be required to obtain licences and carry out background checks on buyers.

230 extra FBI staff:
To process round-the-clock background checks, better preventing firearm sales to prohibited people (by law, a gun dealer can complete a sale if the customer's background check has taken more than three days)

Background checks for purchases through trusts/corporations:
Individuals will no longer be able to avoid background checks by applying to acquire dangerous weapons through trusts, corporations, and other legal entities.

200 new ATF agents:
New agents and investigators at The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to improve enforcement of gun control laws.

$500m mental illness funding:
To increase access to mental health care.

Research into gun safety technology:
Research and regular reviews into the availability of smart gun technology (eg. biometric locks, guns tracked by apps).

Omar Mateen's interest in gay men makes this no ordinary act of terrorism


Sexuality is a simple word for a confounding landscape of feelings, sensations and thoughts: excitement, confusion, comfort, longing, disappointment, fear, rejection.

Many people believe the powerful forces of jihadism spurred the murder of 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando on Sunday morning. The killer, Omar Mateen, was the son of Muslim parents from Afghanistan. He apparently called 911 to pledge his allegiance to a faraway army before he began his killing spree. His ex-wife Sitora Yusufiy said “he did practice and he had his faith”, although she added that, when she knew him, he showed “no sign” of radicalisation.

Until some concrete link emerges between those distant Isis fighters and Mateen, we have the fact of his Muslim heritage and the 911 call – the sort-of invocation of a hated but fearsome group that anyone wanting to sound fearsome themselves can deploy. That and some muddled boasts to co-workers about having links to both al-Qaida and to Hezbollah, groups that bitterly oppose one another from across the Sunni-Shia divide.

What of the powerful forces of sexuality? Of shame, of belonging, of the desire to ruin what you feel you cannot have – some of the most powerful forces a psyche can contain?

Well, we now know that Omar Mateen had, at the very least, a sustained interest in homosexuality. He wasn’t a stranger at Pulse. One regular, Ty Smith, told the Los Angeles Times he had seen him there on at least 12 occasions. “Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent.” Note that Smith chose the word “belligerent” rather than “bigoted”. Angry, prone to lashing out. Not, as far as has been reported, spitting homophobic slurs. You could argue that he was engaged in reconnaissance. But why get drunk (something that is forbidden in Islam) if your aim is to scope out a field of operations?

Then there’s his use of the dating app Jack’d. It describes itself as the “largest and fastest growing dating app for guys looking to meet guys. It’s fast, free and fun!” What was it doing on Mateen’s phone? A means of getting his blood up? Enraging himself so he’d be better able to fulfill his jihadist destiny? In that case, why message Pulse regular Kevin West “on and off for a year”?

When asked why she thought he went regularly to a gay club, Yusufiy told CNN: “When we had gotten married, he confessed to me about his past that was recent at that time, and that he very much enjoyed going to clubs and the nightlife … I feel like it’s a side of him or a part of him that he lived but probably didn’t want everybody to know about.” Asked if she thought he was gay, she said: “I don’t know.”

And then there’s the fact that Seddique Mir Mateen told media that Omar had been angered after seeing a gay couple kissing in public while he was out with his three-year-old son.

If analysts are already weighing up the implications of possible links with Isis, if presidential candidates are taking it as read that Mateen was part of a web of Islamist terror spreading across the globe, let me imagine a situation in which sex, not sectarianism, plays a part. Transgressive sexuality and conservative religion can be a toxic mix. If Mateen felt conflicted about his interest in gay men, it could have been because he believed his faith would condemn him for it. There’s no easy answer to this. “Ban religion,” say some atheists, but it’s not that simple. We must encourage the compassionate and disparage the dogmatists. Strive for conditions which promote kindness, rather than judgment.

When I interviewed him recently for another article, the distinguished psychologist Samuel Juni told me: “Running away and trying to get in touch are psychologically not contradictory ... When you’re running, part of you is running from something that you would very much like to be in touch with but you can’t.” The annihilation on Sunday morning may have been Mateen’s final attempt to run away from the thing that obsessed him.

All of this poses a problem for the likes of Donald Trump, who told his Twitter followers, as the blood on the bathroom walls of Pulse was still drying, that he “appreciate[d] the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism”.

If a heady combination of shame and sexuality were part of what drove Mateen’s decisions that morning, how is that to be policed? How can we, to borrow the language of counter-terrorism, “eradicate” the “scourge” of internalised homophobia? Of a feeling that one’s desires are dirty and humiliating? You can’t easily make a homeland secure against self-loathing.

Donald Trump, meet human nature, in all its messy, depraved and self-defeating complexity. Sadly, complexity was never your strong point.

It's the best of both worlds for the manufacturers - threats of gun control but no gun control.
