Why Gays though? They're essentially harmless.
If it's gang-related, or drug-related, probably because beef was had & location didn't matter. Never does to those cretins anyway, the amount of innocent people caught in illicit stuff conflicts crossfire shows as much.
I have never heard of a drug gangster strap a bomb to themselves and take hostages...this is more of a terrorist plot...aka Muslim threat most likely

My friend works at OPD. She's saying the gunman is strapping bombs to the people inside Pulse.

Separate eyewitness reports shooter had bomb strapped onto him Reported via @facebook #PulseOrlando
I'm wondering if the "bomb" was in fact a kevlar vest. Those affiliated with certain gangs and cartels down there don't mess around when they get confrontational. It wouldn't be the first time someone started something and was found to have been armored up.

I recently watched a documentary on the Colombian drug war during the 70's and 80's. Apparently Orlando was very violent back then.
I wonder if this could be a drug related thing?
I think the last thing America needs right now is terrorism against the LGBT community.
I guess we will have to wait, pray, and let the authorities do their jobs.
I doubt this is related.
Most drug related issues are sorted ... in house.
I remember the Cuban gang wars of the 1980s.
"In House" happened in clubs, a lot.
And Orlando's still one of the known major distribution hubs. It really would not shock me if it was a turf war or a retaliation job.

It's the hospital where the victims from the club were being sent to.
