Shooting in Florida

My prayers for the families of the 20 poor souls lost last night. The cops have said jihadist, domestic jihadist, and the investigation is still ongoing, so we probably wont be certain until tonight.

We really should be grateful. Guy walked into the club full of 300 with an AK, and only 20 died. That may sound callus or cold, but consider that a trained man with a 30 round clip will see 80-90% of rounds fired are lethal, and its obvious the death count could have been much higher. Thank God for even the small miracles.

Edit: since I wrote this, its been confirmed 50 dead and 53 injured.A third of the patrons. Light a candle, burn some incense, or whatever you do to send the dead on their way in peace; take a moment to be grateful you're not one of those 103, and go commit some random act of kindness tomorrow. Thats the only true and useful way to negate such tragedy.

Its interesting to note that we have our first acknowledged muslim attack on gays in the US. We've known for decades that gays in the Middle East are routinely killed in brutal ways for the "crime" of being homosexual, but our liberals and democrats have said for years "that could never happen here. Its a slippery slope fallacy to think that our muslims might act like other muslims!" Well, humanity tends to treat "Slippery Slopes" the way 5 year olds treat a "slip & slide", not just going down it repeatedly, but trying to invent new ways as they do.

Its funny to me how many of these "atheist" gays started praying the moment the bullets started flying. I love the old joke about "no atheists in fox-holes" ; Ive sen so many converts because they lived when they knew they shouldnt have, and they know the only reason that makes sense.

In the end, we do only what we can. Its time to light a candle for the dead, and offer support to the living. We mist review how this happened to see if there's a way to prevent it next time. And, of course, we must silence the insanely moronic fools that try to blame the inanimate lumps of metal being carried instead of the monster that pulled the trigger.
