50 dead, 53 hurt

Early yesterday morning 50 people died and 53 were injured as a fun Saturday night extended into the early hours of Sunday morning. When I first heard the news I just heard it was a club. To me it could have been a music club like I visited on Thursday night. It was a gay club that was riddled by bullets by a gunman.

It doesn't really matter what kind of club it was. 50 people don't deserve to die and 53 don't deserve to be injured. To the LGBT community I am sure it is even worse. The club was a place they could be free. It was there sanctuary. It was a place of peace, love and happiness stained and ruined in blood.

The shooter was Islamic. Off to condemn an entire religion even though we just celebrated the passing of a radical Islamic that many thought of as a hero. Did we forget Mohammad Ali? Of course Ali wouldn't shoot up a gay club. Just like most Muslims wouldn't. The shooter was one person, a terrorist, and a disturbed individual.

My facebook reaction:

Prayers for Orlando, for the victims, the survivors and their families. A hug for my LGBT friends. The world needs peace.

What makes someone want to kill and hurt so many? I don't have any answers. Just too many tragedies like this happening all over the world.
