The Saker
Frankly, I did not feel like commenting on this shooting. Primarily, because I don’t believe that this event deserves the reaction it got. Yes, sure, 50-100+ innocent people were shot/hurt, but that is more or less what happens on a daily basis in so many locations of our planet that I don’t see how the Orlando shooting would deserve some special attention (for example, just four days ago 19 Yazidi ladies were burned alive to death in a cage by Daesh for refusing to have sex with Daesh fighters). But then I got a ton of emails about that. And, besides, since the homosexual lobby in the USA demands special protection for homosexuals, the massacre in Orlando is a big deal because it is a perfect illustration of how our masters want us to react.
Check out this BBC article: “In pictures: LGBT parades across Europe“.
So “gay” pride is, apparently, a big deal to our rulers. Which makes
the massacre in Orlando a big deal too. Clearly the powers that be are
intensely preoccupied with the well-being and safety of homosexuals.
Fair enough.
But then, at the very least, let’s make darn sure that we keep in mind what this massacre has no relationship to:
1) Homosexuality. Yes, the club where the massacre happened was known to be “gay friendly” and the presumed shooter apparently wanted to kill homosexuals. But so what? If he has chosen any other group, vegans, or Latinos, or soccer players or diabetics, this would really made no difference to the nature of the massacre or for the evaluation of the character of the shooter. Innocent blood is innocent blood. There are not subcategories for this.
2) Islam. Yes, the shooter apparently call 911 to declare his allegiance to Daesh and Daesh has, according to reports, claimed responsibility for the massacre. So what? Anybody can claim responsibility for anything, including the Garden Gnome Liberation Front. I would even argue that Daesh has nothing to do with Islam either because Daesh’s relationship to Islam is similar that of a tumor to a healthy tissue: a lot of common DNA, for sure, but with some absolutely crucial differences which makes them mortal enemies.
3) Guns. Turns out that the supposed perpetrator did have a legal
firearm license. But he should not have had it. He was known to be a wife beaterand he was reportedly mentally unstable. Under Florida law, both of these conditions should have resulted in his firearms license been revoked.
In other words, even if this shooter purchased his guns legally, his
license should have been revoked. When an alcoholic continues to drive
around in his car and ends up killing somebody, does anybody suggest
that cars are to blame? Of course not. And yet in the case of mass
shootings guns are inevitably blamed for the violence. So what is the
political agenda here?
So if this is not about homosexuality, Islam or guns, what is it about?
It is about making us believe that is is about homosexuality, Islam and guns, of course!
