on Orlando Killer One Month Prior to Massacre
In an explosive revelation, a Florida gun store owner revealed on Thursday that he had contacted the FBI about Omar Mateen about a month before the Orlando nightclub shooter’s bloody rampage — after the would-be killer attempted to purchase body armor and a large amount of ammunition, according to The Hill.
Owner of Lotus Gunworks in Jensen Beach, Robert Abell, said Mateen was turned away when he tried to purchase two types of body armor the store did not carry, as well as 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
According to the report in The Hill:
The store contacted the FBI, which was also investigating a group of Middle Eastern men buying police gear at the store. The men turned out to be security guards. The FBI asked about Mateen’s visit, but the store couldn’t provide any identifying details or security camera footage.Store employees realized that the man was Mateen after his picture circulated in the media in the wake of the massacre that left 49 people dead. Mateen was killed by police when they raided the nightclub.
Although the media narrative has centered around Mateen’s alleged pledge of support to ISIS in a call to 911, and in a post to Facebook during the attack, writing, “You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes … now taste the Islamic state vengeance,” the head of the CIA, John Brennan, told a Senate intelligence committee that the intelligence agency has found absolutely no connection between the Islamic State terror group and Mateen.
These revelations raise some startling questions as the two presidential candidates, as well as President Obama, have blamed ISIS, seemingly contradicting the sentiments of the CIA and Brennan in his testimony to the Senate.
So why would the politicians be running with this “Islamic terrorism” narrative when the intelligence community says that he had no connections to ISIS?
The easy answer would be to garner more control by utilizing this crisis as a means of harnessing public opinion toward achieving certain policy goals.
