Orlando gunman’s alleged gay lover: ‘He did it for revenge’ against Latino men

Posted by | June 22, 2016 11:54 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


It’s being alleged that the shooting in Orlando was a crime of revenge, and not an act of terror.

The man, who spoke to Univision on the condition of anonymity, said Mateen held a grudge against Latino men he met at the gay nightclub Pulse because he felt used by them.

“I’ve cried like you have no idea. But the thing that makes me want to tell the truth is that he didn’t do it for terrorism. In my opinion he did it for revenge,” the man who said he was Mateen’s lover for two months told Univision.

“He adored Latinos, gay Latinos, with brown skin, but he felt rejected. He felt used by them,” the man said. “There were moments in the Pulse nightclub that made him feel really bad. Guys used him. That really affected him.”

The man claimed that Mateen was upset after having a sexual encounter with two Puerto Rican men after one of them revealed he was HIV positive.

“He was terrified that he was infected,” the man told Univision. “I asked him, ‘Did you do a test?’ Yes. He went to the pharmacy and did the test … it came out negative, but it doesn’t come out right away. It takes four, five months.

“When I asked him what he was going to do now, his answer was, ‘I’m going to make them pay for what they did to me.’”

    Revenge shooting spree with ISIS pledge of allegiance?!

      was the ISIS thing just a cover for his gay-ish revenge?

      • granpa.usthai June 22nd, 2016 at 12:54

        that is what most informed officials were saying.

        Or he was both a murderous revenger and a terror sympathiser.

          Or … ?

          Speculating with little info is never a good idea, unless you fully acknowledge that is exactly what you are doing. Considering his family and the world and culture he lived in, the truth may very well be stranger than fiction.

            It’s surely speculation, we do it on the threads frequently I’d say, if you consider the kind of sources we have.

    LOL the op lost me after ” it’s alleged ” chalk this one up as another clueless media group

    • granpa.usthai June 22nd, 2016 at 12:57

      see what happens when you don’t read the full sentence in it’s entirety?

      that’s the problem with single direction of thought.

      it’s all terrorist ALL the time if they ain’t pure Aryan WHITE, right?

      • robert June 22nd, 2016 at 13:02

        Because we shouldn’t investigate hate crimes first even if the FBI can’t find any terrorist connections to Omar. Like I said, clueless

    • Comicus June 22nd, 2016 at 17:27

      Calm down. ‘Alleged’ is legal CYA for journalists.

      • robert June 22nd, 2016 at 21:21

        Does this mean past copies with terrorist headlines can look forward to a refund ? I think the public is getting ripped off when it comes to investigating journalism

    so, now we see that once again ‘brilliant’ donnie was 180 degrees WRONG.

    will trump APOLOGIZE for his impetuous accusations?

    will the media hold him to his rantings?

    what will impetuous little donnie accuse Muslims of next?
