Orlando Shooting

[DavidS]

Hi George,

Your compassionate support is much appreciated. This particular killing spree is better defined as a hate crime rather than a terrorist act. A terrorist act has the purpose of inflicting fear & terror into the population. But this killing is now widely known as having been sparked when the killer got enraged after seeing 2 gay men kissing. He planned the killings very carefully, even downloading a gay dating app to find out where gay men were hanging out. You were correct George when you said this man made himself Judge Jury and Executioner. He was obviously of an unstable mind.

I have had mixed reactions from some people I know, about the victims. Because the victims were gay, some people seem less disturbed about the loss of gay lives by this "lone-wolf" terrorist. Some highly religous people I know had quoted Leviticus 20:13 which states "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.” At first, they say that they are horrified by the actions of the killer, then they're quoting Leviticus 20:13 as if to imply that those 50 victims were killed by the hand of God. It's sickening to be honest.

Regardless of our personal beliefs, only God can judge us and dish out the punishment for our sins.

My condolences goes out to the victims and their families.
