Former co-worker says Orlando gunman was 'unhinged and unstable', went on racist, misogynistic rants
FOX News
The gunman who killed at least 50 people at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday was described by a former colleague as an "unhinged and unstable" person who repeatedly made racist, misogynist and homophobic remarks.
Daniel Gilroy, a former police officer, worked as a security officer with G4S Security at the PGA Village complex in Port St. Lucie. Mateen worked the shift right after him at the complex's south gate.
Gilroy described Mateen as a devout Muslim who brought a prayer mat to work and prayed several times a day.
"There was never a moment where he didn't have anger and rage," Gilroy told "The Kelly File". "And he was always loud and cursing. And anytime a female or a black person came by, he would use horrible words."
On one occasion, Gilroy said, Mateen told him, "I would just like to kill all those [n-words]" after a conversation between Mateen and a black man. "A few times he mentioned homosexuals and Jewish people," Gilroy said, "but we didn't deal with them quite as often, so it was mostly women and blacks, because those were the people in front of us."
Gilroy told Florida Today that he complained to his superiors several times about Mateen, but they refused to take action because, Gilroy claimed, Mateen was Muslim. Gilroy said he quit G4S in 2015 after Mateen began sending him dozens of harassing text and phone messages per day.
"Everything he said was toxic," Gilroy told the paper, "and the company wouldn't do anything. This guy was unhinged and unstable. He talked of killing people."
PGA Village resident Eleanora Dori, however, described Mateen to Florida Today as "very polite" and "always a gentleman."
"You would never ever think that he would have done anything like this," she told the paper. "Scary, scary. Very scary."
In a statement late Sunday, G4S said Mateen had worked for the company since 2007 and had passed a company screening and background check twice, once when he was hired and again in 2013.
"In 2013, we learned that Mateen had been questioned by the FBI but that the inquiries were subsequently closed," the statement read in part. "We were not made aware of any alleged connections between Mateen and terrorist activities, and were unaware of any further FBI investigations."
Meanwhile, it emerged late Sunday that Mateen had sent a Facebook friend request to the owner of another gay club last week, raising the possibility that he may have considered targeting other LGBT nightspots in the area.
Micah Bass, the owner of the M Hotel and the Revere nightclub, told the East Orlando Post that Omar Mateen sent him the friend request late last week.
Bass told The New York Times that he recognized Mateen's picture after he had been identified as the shooter at the Pulse nightclub early Sunday.
"I saw the picture and said ‘That guy tried to friend me," Bass said.
Bass said he deleted Mateen's friend request after noticing that his friends had Arabic writing on their Facebook pages. Bass said that because there are not many Arabic speakers in the gay subculture, he believed the friend request to have been a mistake.
Bass and his business partner had closed Revere Thursday, and planned to only make it available for private events.
"I feel terrible," Bass told the Times. “I’m hoping that my staff didn’t end up at Pulse."
"If we had not closed for restructuring ... We we very well could have been the target this weekend," Bass said. He added that he had notified the FBI about Mateen's social media activity and was examining video footage to determine whether the gunman or any possible accomplices visited the club in recent weeks.

So once again, we have the news bending over backwards to augment the story
Multiple shooters reported by eyewitnesses, and all the kings horses and all the king's men, hellbent on telling everyone it was one shooter
already on the fbi's watch list, even
get this bull fucking shit false flag ass crap out of my face
fbd, sometimes it's a bit unclear what you are saying. Augment is to add to. It's not the traditional 'news' adding, it's some random Dude.
not the only report of multiple shooters, bro
when the news is hellbent on reporting it a certain way and the eyewitnesses say something else happened, then what? trust the news, because all those people that were there just dont know what they saw, we need to news to tell them what they saw?
There's no way any news team would hide it if they thought there were more shooters on the loose.
keep telling yourself that bro, click your heels and repeat "the news is our friend"
I bet that in some reports coming from tinfoil land this didn't even happen and everyone is still in the club singing and doing the actions to the YMCA, do you not think in a dark club and all the panic and confusion that people may think there was more than 1 shooter and seems reports on Facebook is cody agnew is a bit of a troll, but that could be false as well, who knows
No, we understand. We just don't care what anyone outside of the U.S. thinks about it. It's OUR nation. You don't like it, you don't have to come here. Stay home. But I will tell you this, when China or some other bad actor comes to invade your country, and they overwhelm your defenses in record time, you'll wish your people had firearms to protect yourselves with when your defenses can't be there for you. Constitution notwithstanding, the majority of us understand that the police, the state militia, the feds, the national guard, and the military can't be everywhere all at once. We understand that it's up to us to protect ourselves, our families, and our homes. We understand that we'll have to fight for ourselves and for our land, and we gun owners are prepared, and that's why the bad actors of the world wouldn't dare invade our country, because they know they would have to face far more than just our police, our state militias, the feds, the national guard, and the military. They'll have to face all of us... and we won't back down. And that scares the ever loving shit out of them.You guys clearly have no idea how odd your gun culture seems from outside the US
And that's just one reason why our gun culture is a very good thing. We have many more.
Word to the wise: Learn to speak Chinese, Arabic, and Russian. You might need them in the future.

Seems like 'you guys' have no idea how odd your anti gun, anti personal protection culture seems from inside the USYou guys clearly have no idea how odd your gun culture seems from outside the US
although, the "china invading" is every bit as odd an laughable.
face it, its your own security services you have the most to fear from, unless you happen to be a gangbanger on the south side of chicago.

great speech but do you really believe that you are going to be invaded by these countries?

Multiple Suspects On The Loose In Orlando - Why The Media Blackout Of Eyewitness Accounts?
One eyewitness to the attack, who was inside the nightclub when it happened, was giving his testimony to the attack, after being trapped inside the club, live on-air, to a mainstream news source when he was abruptly cut off after providing a crucial detail. The eyewitness said that during the attack “there was a guy there that was trying to […] hold the door closed so that we couldn’t exit,” as pointed out by an investigative reporter on YouTube.
videos at link, from multiple eyewitnesses, all shit that completely contradicts the media narrative about the number of attackers.
Ok, you missed the point. I'll make it easier to understand:
No. They'd be incredibly stupid to invade us. We have guns. And they're scared of us because of that.
An ounce of prevention... etc etc etc
See how that works?
