Worst mass shooting in US history

[–]Agastopia 418ポイント419ポイント  (31子コメント)

It's now officially the worst shooting in US history.

:(

[–]HCJohnson [スコア非表示]  (16子コメント)

For some reason, that I can't even explain, when I heard that the Orlando Mayor declared a State of Emergency it really sunk in.

It's terrible, but you have to give all of the rescue works/police extreme credit. From the things I read the shooter had no plans on letting anyone in the club live.

It's something that just makes you feel numb and sad. Thoughts are with all the people affected by this tragedy.

[–]PacSan300 [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

I think the previous worst one was the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. I remember shaking my head at news of that one, but this one I just can't comprehend why this keeps happening.

[–]zykezero [スコア非表示]  (601子コメント)

I'm surprised this wasn't at the top. I open reddit and didn't read the first link assuming it would have been this and I was wrong.

edit: I didn't think this was going to be controversial... We shouldn't jump to conclusions at any point at any situation. I don't know any of the context so thats all I'm going to say.

[–]whovian42 [スコア非表示]  (541子コメント)

/r/news was censoring coverage.

[–]SonicRoof [スコア非表示]  (479子コメント)

Why?!

Edit: /r/news - unsubscribed

[–]throwaway_needshelp1 [スコア非表示]  (201子コメント)

I don't know but any threads covering the shooting were locked, even ones with hundreds of comments.

EDIT: Unsubscribed from r/news as well. It's ridiculous that we're seeing this news from /r/AskReddit.

[–]Trajan_ [スコア非表示]  (87子コメント)

Because it involves Islam and Gays obviously.

[–]yawaworht1989 [スコア非表示]  (31子コメント)

The shooters father stated that the shooter Omar was upset when he saw two men kissing somewhere in Miami and that perhaps caused him to do what he did. But then again, he's not gonna go out there and say that it involves Islam either.

[–]cbuivaokvd08hbst5xmj [スコア非表示]  (66子コメント)

The mods began censoring the story as soon as the shooter was identified as muslim - son of an Afghani immigrant.

...but don't blame the mods - they are just doing what the Admins told them to do. That's why this censorship occurs on all the default subs.

[–]Big-Money-Salvia [スコア非表示]  (36子コメント)

Its sad. Reddit isnt what it used to be. No longer a viable news source for current events

[–]ohmyfsm [スコア非表示]  (9子コメント)

Nope. The worst mass shooting in US history and it's barely on the front page of reddit. Wow, reddit is truly disappointing lately.

[–]definitelynotweather [スコア非表示]  (25子コメント)

They weren't at first. The story was on the front page when it started to come out but as soon as they found out who the shooter was they started censoring the hell out of everything.

[–]gangstarapMAIDmeDoit [スコア非表示]  (17子コメント)

who was the shooter? What was so significant about him?

[–]definitelynotweather [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

Omar Mateen. Floridian born U.S. citizen with Afghan parents. Possibility Islamic extremist with potential ties to international terror groups. I'm still wading through FBI stuff to figure out what's real and what's just rumor.

[–]Lifeisabigmess [スコア非表示]  (6子コメント)

apparently he pledged to ISIS just before this. Also, Ramadan just started, and ISIL leaders are proclaiming mega-rewards to anyone who does acts like these during this time.

[–]DrRazmataz [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

He is/was Muslim. And suddenly they censor everything.

[–]Vice_Admiral_Crunch [スコア非表示]  (43子コメント)

they've been doing it for a while with anything to do with radical Islamic terrorism and right side politics in general. IIRC there is a major conflict of interest with some of the mods. They might just be trying to reduce the chance of a witch hunt but it sure as hell looks like censorship to me.

[–]6zeprMsphe9T [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

There was one shooter and he was killed in the shootout. There's no risk of a Boston Marathon-style witch hunt happening here. It's readily apparent that they're trying to hide coverage in order to protect their political agenda.

[–]treycartier91 [スコア非表示]  (23子コメント)

Because the FBI announced his name is Omar Mateen, from Afghanistan, and has Islamic ties.

And that's racist to say or something.

[–]shapendo [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

Thing is, even if I don't have any stake in these discussions of how religions relate to violence... it sure is newsworthy to mention the religion because it will heavily influence the aftermath and reactions on this (it might even influence the voting pattern in the upcoming US elections). To say his religion must be hidden is to treat me as an islamophobe who needs to be spoonfed what I can "stomach". It hints at a total disassociation of your user base, too. And just makes people go look elsewhere for news...

Thanks to AskReddit for opening this thread!

[–]nikktheconqueerer [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

They're deleting muting and banning anyone who posts about the mass shooting because the shooter has Islamic ties

[–]N1ghtshade3 [スコア非表示]  (42子コメント)

Because the shooter's name was Omar and the cops are looking into possible terrorist connections

Naturally, the comments section quickly pointed out that he was probably Muslim (he was born to Afghani parents) so of course he'd shoot up a gay club. It got locked because the mods don't like when you criticize Islam and/or don't like when the comments section devolves into a religious circlejerk.

[–]weiss_schneenis [スコア非表示]  (9子コメント)

I heard the FBI actually confirmed him having radical islam links.

[–]TheTrashyOne [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

CBS news just reported on air that he pledged some sort of allegiance to ISIS but they didn't give any details. I wish they would give some sort of info though to show its not just speculation.

[–]PM_me_Venn_diagrams [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

The mods censored it.

This is the first time Ive seen both liberals AND conservatives so pissed about something. Both the liberal subs AND Donald Trumps subs both have the censorship as their top post right now.

Not the shooting itself, but how the mods of /r/news censored it.

First time Ive ever seen both sides this pissed about the same thing.

[–]Enverex [スコア非表示]  (210子コメント)

And completely censored on Reddit...

[–]calicotrinket [スコア非表示]  (121子コメント)

/r/news decided that posts for the shooting need to be locked and contents nuked. Good job, mods over there.

Also got muted for asking why they've censored the news.

Edit: If you want to stick it to the mods there for censorship, best bet is to unsub.

[–]kjhwkejhkhdsfkjhsdkf [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Was reading about this about 2 hours ago, went to do other things, my friend told me the death toll is up to 50 now, went back on reddit to read about it and had to keep scrolling down and down and down...

[–]Bigred2989 [スコア非表示]  (79子コメント)

I emailed the Reddit admits about this and ended it pleading they don't ban me for asking. This is terrifying.

[–]KingJewffrey [スコア非表示]  (29子コメント)

Reddit needs to fire some moderators, /r/news and /r/worldnews are worse than /r/pyongyang right now. Totally legitimate comments are being deleted, people being banned for just asking why so many comments have been removed. It's like the mods are 12 year olds.

edit: I know mods are volunteers, volunteers can still be fired.

[–]boohuscared [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

They've been banning/removing anything linking the attack to terror/ any reference of the attackers religion/motivations. Very disappointing actions by the mods in several subreddits.

[–]kilo73 [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

And I'm hearing about in on /r/AskReddit .

Reddit is pathetic now. I used hear about breaking news as soon as it happened. Now my wife is beating me to the punch with her Facebook feed. FUCKING FACEBOOK.

I don't know what the problem is but the admins need to get their shit together, or I'm going to have to find another site to get my news from.

[–]Gr1pp717[🍰] [スコア非表示]  (168子コメント)

Thank you /r/AskReddit for picking up where /r/news has failed. There really needs to be something about this on the front page.

[–]ThaddeusJP [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Reddit says its the front page of the internet. The fact we have to get info from non news subs makes me question that. This is how you piss off users, both acounted and casusal readers. Makes me think ill go somewhere else for the next big news story.

Yea thanks. And stickied no less.

Real story now is why the fuck news sub is censoring content. Come the fuck on Reddit

[–]Longstory_Longer [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

The mods here deserve some recognition, it's up to ASKREDDIT, a sub that has nothing to do with news to host an uncensored discussion about the largest massacre in the past 15 years!

Unacceptable that it got to this, respect for the mods here!

homophobic shooter?

[–]NewClayburn 1441ポイント1442ポイント  (97子コメント)

The shooter's father has apparently said that he had become angry after seeing two guys kiss in Miami. So yeah, seems like he hates gays and this was a hate killing.

[–]PM_me_Venn_diagrams [スコア非表示]  (63子コメント)

This answer was deleted from the /r/news thread. Not only that, but nearly all comments have been removed.

Its about time the Reddit devs take over /r/news, the behavior of the current mods is unacceptable.

For instance, how many of you knew that concealed carry permits were judged "not a right" by a federal court this week?

Well, it didnt make it to /r/news because they censored it. Thats a pretty important topic to be censored, dont you think?

/r/news is basically incompetent. They need to remove the mods or replace /r/news with a new front page sub.

[–]SextiusMaximus [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Hey, you're spreading misinformation. The ruling was: CPL is not protected by the constitution.

This means that open carry is actually protected by the constitution. It is up to states to decide on CPL. Quite a silly case, because it doesn't change anything.

[–]muodostuu_sanoista [スコア非表示]  (25子コメント)

[–]Krieg-The-Psycho1 [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

That subreddit says that it is about non US news, so I dont blame them for that

[–]The_siderian [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

That I honestly get. Since Reddit is a predominantly US based community, /r/news is essentially an American news subreddit. /r/worldnews is news from other countries. The split makes sense to me. So this is just outside the scope of /r/worldnews.

[–]roastedbagel[S] 145ポイント146ポイント  (128子コメント)

While it's too early to tell, I'd lean towards that was part of their MO last night.

I'm so proud of /r/askreddit for being willing to do what /r/news has failed to do.

[–]rwl4z [スコア非表示]  (48子コメント)

Actually, I really appreciate having this in a place besides /r/TheDonald. No offense to them, but this needs to be discussed in a less partisan place and this seems like that place.

[–]AustinXTyler [スコア非表示]  (186子コメント)

Why the fuck would they delete all those comments, and why can't I even see the rules that supposedly everyone is breaking?

Edit: So what I'm hearing is that r/news is bigoted and hating on the guy for being Muslim, and the Muslim mods got fed up with it and deleted just about everything. Fuck this shit, why can't we all just be people?!

[–]TheLoneWolf156 [スコア非表示]  (167子コメント)

What did they do?

[–]1pfen [スコア非表示]  (22子コメント)

Also they created a 'megathread' which doesn't show up on the front page, and deleted all other posts about it, so the worst shooting in American history isn't on the front page.

[–]Oh_I_still_here [スコア非表示]  (46子コメント)

Motherfuckers, Wikipedia is even saying that he was a devout Muslim and that he was pissed about gays since he saw a gay couple kiss. It is a terrorist hate crime. Why would they fucking censor what even the shooter's parents have come out and said is the truth of the matter? Dumbass mods should have their privileges revoked, they're even condescending to the subscribers "If you feel like giving out about censorship, go to another subreddit." I shit you not that is what they're saying.

EDIT: Because people are throwing the "hurr durr anybody can edit Wikipedia" thing at me, I know guys. But consider that it is a (typically) unbiased source of information, unless it comes to things that are more opinion-based than matter-of-fact/reality based, so I trust it more than any news networks which tend to have outrageous bias for the sake of pandering to certain demographics. The facts are there on Wikipedia, they're sourced, sources aren't pandering, that's why I'm taking it as a matter of fact rather than a matter of belief. I don't give a shit if you can edit a Wikipedia entry, if it's a shit edit it can be undone literally with the click of a button because of how rollback works with Wikipedia's article editor. News is constantly coming out, so the consensus will be clearer by the evening, but until then anything that's on that site is fact, not bias. What I said still has more merit, your comment that anyone can edit Wikipedia means fuck all.

This, from the shooter's father, is from Huffington Post..

“We’re apologizing for the whole incident,” read Seddique’s statement. “We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country. This had nothing to do with religion.”

He says his son got “very angry” when he saw two men kissing in downtown Miami a couple of months ago, and believes that was part of his son’s motive.

[–]Tchaikovsky08 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Man it pisses me off when someone gets "angry" (or in this case, goes on a homicidal rampage) because they can't handle what they see in public. It's not like he was kissed by a man! He just saw two men kissing. Fuck that piece of shit

[–]bmoviescreamqueen [スコア非表示]  (28子コメント)

If it didn't have anything to do with religion then you really have to wonder how messed up this individual was beforehand. Normal people don't see two men kissing and jump immediately to murdering 50 people.

[–]Iforgotmyother_name [スコア非表示]  (98子コメント)

I wonder what the police tactics were on this one? I hear the gunman took hostages and started executing. I'll be so pissed if it's a repeat of Columbine where the police waited outside for hours while those kids were getting executed.

[–]justflycasual [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

An off-duty officer was working in the club, exchanged gunfire with the suspect when he began shooting on the main floor at approx 2 AM.

Two additional officers responded, initiating the hostage-taking and subsequent standoff.

[–]honorary_mexican [スコア非表示]  (54子コメント)

Unfortunately, it's looks like SWAT waited outside for over 3 hours while he executed everyone inside. They said it was a hostage situation while people inside were sending out texts that he was rounding up and killing everyone.

[–]jimmyyang3000 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

This happened at the Bataclan as well. It appears that hostages are no longer being used for monetary or political ransom, but rather to prolong the attack and suffering caused. And when the hostages have outlived their usefulness, well...

Police forces will certainly have to revise their strategies.

News said a police officer opened fire on him as he was going into the club at around 3am, they didn't go in after him until 5am because he had hostages. Meanwhile accounts are coming out from inside saying during this time he was lining people up killing them anyways. 2 hours wasted while people still being killed.

[–]Keikobad 561ポイント562ポイント  (22子コメント)

It's frankly embarrassing to Reddit that the moderators of /r/news are so vigorous in their deleting of threads and posts on this. The deadliest mass-shooting of its kind in recent U.S. history, and nary a word about it in the forum ostensibly set aside for discussion of news, hours after the event.

Screenshot of my Reddit front page, hours after the incident.

[–]roastedbagel[S] 325ポイント326ポイント  (130子コメント)

I just got around to seeing all that (after reading the news while making coffee, etc). What topics exactly were they censoring? Honestly I'd rather not have this entire thread be about /r/news if possible. But we can keep the discussion of that to this thread for sure as long as it remains calm.

[–]TheTrashyOne 232ポイント233ポイント  (25子コメント)

i woke up and saw the news. Immediately came to Reddit. Every thread that wasn't removed from r/news was locked. They did finally put up a mega thread a little while ago but it's still not showing up on all. Instead we get multiple threads from r/thedonald. The worst mass shooting in U.S. history and r/news mods are stifling discussion under the guise of being brigaded. That's just sad.

Thank you for giving us a place for discussion. I beg everyone, no matter your views, to keep it civil.

I saw it on the news, came to reddit and was surprised to see nothing on my front page. Askreddit is not where I expected to find discussion. I see there is a megathread now but this happened at 2am. Way WAY overboard with the censorship when I hear the news for such a huge event on TV first despite going to reddit first.

[–]honorary_mexican [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Once it came out the shooter may have had any connection to Islam they shut the whole show down. Nuked whole threads, banned anyone who asked them a question, then deleted the comment graveyard posts with 4000+ karma and 0 comments in favor of their mega thread.

I just woke up and if I hadn't turned on the news I would have no idea anything had happened, there was and is nothing at the top/hot of reddit, this was the only thread I could find doing top for this hour. So thank you for the mods here, I've been trying to find more info, and it's really disappointing what's going on here on reddit (not dismissing the shooting).

Normally there is a big thread where someone updates the info in news, where you can get a time line of info, strike through for anything wrong, really informative sitting at the top of reddit, now there's nothing.

I don't understand what happened in the shooting and wtf is up with news if I can't even get the god damn news from it.

They're reporting that the shooter is an angered Muslim who did this because he saw 2 men kissing earlier this week. I feel bad for everyone involved but this story is going to get spun like a top. Every time a story like this happens, people think that as long as they can lay the blame at the foot of one group or another that that will somehow ease the pain. There's no fix for crazy and no group has a monopoly on them.

Edit: To all the people that are calling me out for being a Muslim apologist, I'm pasting a snippet from one of my posts below because it will get more visibility here and hopefully curtail further replies of the same sentiment.

It's not Islam, any more than it was Christianity when Christians do it. The problem is Islamism - which, in short, is the movement to implement Islamic values in all spheres of life. We're doing the religion a great disservice by not calling out the problem. You are right though - it is a hard thing to communicate and we need to start doing so, and not cloak the conversation by focusing on the religion rather than the people that seek to implement a very narrow minded version of it globally. You seem genuine in your convictions and it's good to see that, so I please ask you (and anyone else that comes across this) to watch the video below. It's powerful and hopefully it will spark the right conversation.

The CNN article has two statements on that:

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack on jihadi forums, but ISIS sympathizers have reacted by praising the attack on pro-Islamic State forums.

And

Orlando authorities said they consider the violence an act of domestic terror. The FBI is involved. While investigators are exploring all angles, they "have suggestions the individual has leanings towards (Islamic terrorism), but right now we can't say definitely," said Ron Hopper, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Orlando bureau.

It's not even the horrific, utterly senseless loss of life, it's that even from his perspective, his actions will have the complete opposite effect of what he set out to do in the longer run. He wasn't just an evil fucking idiot, he was an incompetent evil fucking idiot.

I am praying right now. Not sure if any of them were there during this, but such a horrible moment...

I thought it was pointless to donate blood after a shooting/terrorist attack because it takes weeks to get it through QC and actually into hospitals. I know a ton of blood went to waste after 9/11 because of so many people donating in the following days

I suppose their current blood supply will most likely be depleted after an event like this so they will need more for the coming weeks

[–]Krieg-The-Psycho1 [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

People who dont know this will be donating regardless of wether its effective

[–]PLEBOFTHEMASTERRACE [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

You are not donating so much for Orlando as you are for all the blood banks currently sending their stashes there, who will need more blood as well.

Who cares if the blood goes to waste. Better to have an abundance of life saving fluid than not. It's not like we've only got a limited amount of supply we can give

[–]nick908 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

At least they're trying. Sitting idle is the worst.

[–]Mike81890 78ポイント79ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well yeah, but then they can use that overabundance to restock the blood on which there was initially a run.

[–]half3clipse 40ポイント41ポイント  (0子コメント)

they do however need to replace the stock they're currently using.

[–]roastedbagel[S] 64ポイント65ポイント  (4子コメント)

That's sad if that's true.

I get the processing time, but maybe knowing that they have all this incoming blood, they can use what they currently have in stock knowing it will be made up for? Would love to hear from a blood bank employee/volunteer if there's one here on how this all works.

The sad irony of the blood donation is the gay community can't even donate their blood to help their fellow man/woman out.

There is a post I made at undelete to discuss the censorship issue at /r/news.

https://www.reddit.com/r/undelete/comments/4nqbb8/moderators_of_rnews_locking_any_post_having_to_do/

The discussion of censorship is more appropriate there than here.

(since my last comment will probably be deleted from the last thread) ---

one guy in a live stream interview on TV with the news station said that he and several others went out an exit door into the alleyway and then turned around and barricaded the door so that it couldn't be opened. he then went on to say that he kept hearing banging noises on the door and he can "only hope that it wasn't people trying to get out." Uh, yeah, it was probably people running from the shooter and trying to go out the EXIT DOOR only to not be able to get out and have to turn around to meet their fate - death.

I understand that in a panic situation things like this happen, but if he ran into an alleyway, why block the door and trap the people inside? Why not just keep running ?

Scared me to death when I realized there was a mass shooting in an area around me. But it's sad nonetheless. I hope the families of everyone involved are okay.

[–]Helplessromantic [スコア非表示]  (21子コメント)

Why am I seeing this through Askreddit?

Why does it seem like this story is being censored? What does r/news have to gain by trying to hide the deadliest shooting in US history?

[–]Sir_George [スコア非表示]  (24子コメント)

So everything has disappeared from the front page and BBC is saying the death toll is now 50. Shame on the mods of r/news and r/worldnews. Users have even been banned from these subs for saying the shooter was Muslim. After this I don't think Reddit can be trusted anymore.

[–]Boatsmhoes 312ポイント313ポイント  (52子コメント)

I'm not even seeing any articles on /r/news about it

[–]choongjunbo 509ポイント510ポイント  (16子コメント)

cause /r/news mod went on a power trip to protect the image of islam and actively removed out comments,threads that contain the reference of the shooter name or religion

Never mind that FBI have say that its linked to domestic terrorism and his dad say his son is outrage by 2 gay person kissing

Sorry for the families that have to deal with this

[–]billieisanidiot 72ポイント73ポイント  (3子コメント)

It breaks my heart that pride month will always have this bleak reminder of how much more we have to fight for. This was a vile homophobic act by a maniac. My heart goes out to the families and friends of those who were murdered, and everyone involved. I hope they find peace amongst the pain.

Words from my brother "Blood donors needed after mass shooting at a gay club but you can't help if you're gay. The irony."

[–]Redbiertje 57ポイント58ポイント  (4子コメント)

Best of luck to those involved. Our thoughts are with you.

I'm a student at UCF here, where the mods censorship is hurting students find their friends. Can anyone explain to me why the mods of r/news love to censor, especially when someone mentions Islam?
