The deadliest mass shooting in US history took place on June 12 in the early morning when a gunman opened fire inside of a nightclub, killing 49 people.
I really can't think of what to say beyond a description of the event because words fail me in the wake of the senselessness of this tragedy.
For those of us who don't feel like reading the link, Pulse was an LGBT nightclub and the shooter picked it as a target because he was homophobic.
Only slightly related but it's weird that the US media only mentions the mentally ill when they can throw them under the bus in an attempt to justify how/why a mass shooting happened.
Also, final point I swear, but I'm kinda disgusted that US politicians who've made their careers out of making life worse for LGBT people are coming out of the woodwork saying they're sad that this happened. Like, they've been contributing to bigotry (and/or preventing AIDS treatment, and/or funding Shock Therapy, and/or blocking job protection laws, and/or trying to stop LGBT protections against Hate Crimes etc) for years and now they're trying to claim they care about dead queer people.
**** that *****.
Gonna go watch E3 and try to calm down again.
And just two days after I posted that, this happens.

The shooter's life story just gets weirder and weirder.
