Terrorist Omar Mateen Kills 50 In Gay Nightclub: Must-Know Facts

gay club shootings orlando omar mateen

Omar Mateen has been identified as the Islamic terrorist who opened fire in the popular Orlando, Fla., gay nightclub Pulse — killing at least 50 revelers and sending even more wounded victims to local hospitals. The mass murder is now the most deadly terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. Mateen later died during a shootout with a Florida SWAT team around 5 am — three hours after he began shooting in the nightclub.

“I apologize for what my son did,” the gunman’s father told NBC News. “I don’t know why he did it. He is dead, so I can’t ask him. I wish I knew.” Mir Seddique, Mateen’s father, also told NBC that the shooting shouldn’t be associated with his son’s Muslim faith.

“This has nothing to do with religion,’ he said. ‘We are saying we are apologizing for the whole incident. We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country.”

Seddique added that his son had become emotionally agitated earlier this year when he witnessed two men kissing in Miami. The killer had been living in Fort St. Lucie, Fla.

The identity of the shooter was revealed by famously outspoken U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson. Mateen was born in New York in 1968. He worked as a security guard and had no criminal history. FBI sources, however, have told reporters that that Mateen — born to Afghan parents — had been investigated by the agency in 2013 and 2014.

Orlando police released the photo below of the Kevlar helmet that saved the life of a SWAT Team officer during the raid on the club…

Game Of Thrones Season 6, Episode 8: Date, Time, & TV Channel for “No One”

Game Of Thrones is nearing the end of perhaps it’s strongest season. With the return of major characters like Jon Snow, Bronn, and The Hound, Game Of Thrones has been firing on all cylinders. Last week’s episode was one of the strongest this season. We saw the surprise return of The Hound, as well as the attack on Arya. Yara and Theon have made their way to Volantis in search of Daenerys, while Jon Snow and Sansa have been traveling the North trying to recruit help for their army.   Between the Faith Militant taking control of King’s Landing, the Bolton’s still holding Winterfel, the Starks raising their army, and the White Walkers on their way, the end of this season is sure to be explosive.

First, the synopsis:

While Jaime weighs his options, Cersei answers a request. Tyrion’s plans bear fruit. Arya faces a new test.

Now, the preview:

My thoughts:

-We will FINALLY be seeing FrankenMountain in all of his ass-kicking zombie glory. FINALLY! Perfect timing too, cause I’ve f*cking had it with the Faith Militant.

-Aw. A Jaime and Brienne ruin. Aw. Too bad it won’t last long, as they are very clearly on opposing sides. Should Jaime attack the castle, honor would compel Brienne to fight Jaime. And man, I would love to see a rematch between those two.

-The Waif is going to die this week. Calling it.

-The Hound is back to smashing skulls in. Fantastic. The Hound is an easy top 5 character in my book.

-Who could possibly be choking Podric? The dude literally doesn’t do anything other than slang his D.

-Tyrion looks like he’s messing with the dragons again. What a wasted season it’s been for Tyrion so far. Let’s hope these last three episode redeem his year.


Date:

Game of Thrones season 6 episode 8 “No One” will air June 12, 2016.


Time:

Episode 8 of the sixth season of Game Of Thrones will start at 9 PM EST. The episode will be an hour long.

Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, was the scene of the most deadly mass shooting to ever take place on American soil early this morning. 50 people were killed and at least 53 injured, according to the police, in this senseless tragedy. The mass killings took place just after 2 am EST. The gunman was Omar Mateen, an American citizen residing in Port St. Lucie, according to federal authorities. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families.

Game Of Thrones is nearing the end of perhaps it’s strongest season. With the return of major characters like Jon Snow, Bronn, and The Hound, Game Of Thrones has been firing on all cylinders this year. Between the Faith Militant taking control of King’s Landing, the Bolton’s still holding Winterfel, the Starks raising their army, and the White Walkers on their way, the end of this season is sure to be explosive. Not to mention the rumored “Cleganebowl” trial by combat between The Hound and The Mountain, and Arya’s ongoing trials with the Faceless Men. The last three episodes of season 6, which begins tonight with “No One” are sure to be the best string of episodes we’ve seen in a while.

First, the synopsis:

While Jaime weighs his options, Cersei answers a request. Tyrion’s plans bear fruit. Arya faces a new test.

Now, the preview:

My thoughts:

-We will FINALLY be seeing FrankenMountain in all of his ass-kicking zombie glory. FINALLY! Perfect timing too, cause I’ve f*cking had it with the Faith Militant.

-Awwwww, a Jaime and Brienne reunion! Aw. Too bad it won’t last long, as they are very clearly on opposing sides. Should Jaime attack the castle, honor would compel Brienne to fight Jaime. And man, I would love to see a rematch between those two.

-The Waif is going to die this week. Calling it.

-Although Arya looks like she might be in trouble, I’m willing to bet she’s had a plan this whole time.

-The Hound is back to smashing skulls in. Fantastic. The Hound is an easy top 5 character in my book. Look for him to start making his way back to King’s Landing.

-Who could possibly be choking Podric? The dude literally doesn’t do anything other than slang his D. Looks like it may be Bronn that is choking him. Don’t worry, though, because Pod and Bronn are boys, and they’re probably just horsing around.

-Tyrion looks like he’s messing with the dragons again. What a wasted season it’s been for Tyrion so far. Let’s hope these last three episode redeem his year.

-Again, no sign of Jon Snow in the previews. That either means him and Sansa are still traveling the North on their recruitment tour, or are doing something new and exciting that the show runners don’t want to spoil in the trailer.

Orlando Gay Club Shootings: Twitter Alerts Still Out For The Missing..

orlando gay club shooting missing persons

Omar Mateen now has a death toll of at least 50 revelers at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla. — in the worst attack of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. since 9/11.

Sadly, the aftermath of the attack is also matching the aftermath of 9/11 on social media, as people continue to search for missing people at the site of the murders.



Authorities say that Mateen’s savage attack on the gay nightclub sent over 50 wounded victims to local hospitals. Heading into the afternoon after the early Sunday attack, Twitter posts continue to be sent out from friends and relatives desperately searching for people who had gone to Pulse that night.

With authorities seeking to contact relatives before announcing any names of the dead, it will still be several hours before we begin to learn more of the actual victims — except for those whose own relatives begin to speak out to the media. [UPDATE: Orlando Police have announced a website that has started to list the victims.] For now, these posts are tragic reminders of how much heartbreak remains in the aftermath of the Pulse massacre…




Serial Groin-Striker Draymond Green Suspended For Game 5 of NBA Finals

Draymond Green, the Warriors’ all-NBA forward and vocal leader, has been suspended for game 5 of the NBA Finals after a fourth quarter altercation with LeBron James. Green seemingly swiped at James’s privates as LeBron was stepping over the Warriors star. Green was belatedly assessed a flagrant 1 foul today by the league office for the incident, his fourth flagrant foul point of the playoffs which is an automatic suspension. Draymond has been accused of taking aim at several players’ groins during this playoffs, including a controversial kick to Steven Adam’s kiwis in the Western Conference Finals. LeBron was also assessed a technical foul for the incident, because he got all up in Green’s grill after the play.

As a result of the suspension, Green is banned from being in the arena for Game 5. With the Warriors having a chance to win the championship in Oakland on Monday, Draymond must decide if it’s worth a $140,000 fine for the chance to celebrate a title with his teammates. Court side tickets to the game are being sold for $17,000 apiece anyway and Draymond signed an $80 million contract so I have a feeling he’ll take the fine and show up anyway.

Predictably, as a result of the fine Twitter blew up with conspiracy theories about the league curtailing to LeBron and trying to prolong the series to increase revenue. I see where those people are coming from, but on the other hand you can’t just allow a guy to keep hitting nailing other players in the cojones and get away with it.

Charles Barkley was one former player standing up for Draymond Green today. “When a guy steps over you, you have a moral obligation to punch him in the balls,” the famously politically incorrect Barkley said. “You have a moral obligation. Because that’s really disrespectful to step over a guy. You’re supposed to pop him in his junk if he steps over you like that.”

Game 5 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Draymond-less Golden State Warriors Warriors will tip off on Monday at 9 pm EST on ABC.

Steph Curry is one great basketball player, but the Golden State Warriors star is also loyal to his corporate sponsors. He proved that today by showing up for the NBA Finals media rounds while sporting “Straight” written on his new Under Armour Curry Two Low “Chef” sneakers .



Curry declared that his shoes were “straight fire” after being roundly mocked by the internet for sporting some sneaks that most people considered to be more fit for a suburban dad. We’re glad to see Steph standing by his brand, though — and he even has the clout to get his team helping to push the endorsement via the Warriors Twitter feed…

Game Of Thrones Season 6 Episode 8 Recap for “No One”

For all the idiots in the room, this is a RECAP so obviously SPOILERS ARE AHEAD. Now, let’s get to it:

(Editors Note: This is a college website, so this review was written as I sat in a room with my 5 other buddies. The reactions, opinions, and knowledge – or lack thereof – are both very collective, and very genuine. The quotes are live reactions- word for word.)

This post is under construction.


Braavos: The episode opens with the play of King’s Landing, with Lady Crane using Arya’s advice and brining vengeance into her performance.

Arya is waiting in Lady Cranes dressing room. Lady Crane brings Arya back to her apartment (?) to stitch her up.

“Her apartment is literally bigger than mine.”


Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: Sandor is back to killing people. He brutally murders four men in about 15 seconds, in search of the men who slayed his friends.


King’s Landing: The Faith Militant rolls up on Cersei at the Red Keep. Cersei finally says that “I choose violence” line from all the trailers, and the Mountain proceeds to rip someone’s head off.

“You better go get some more of your boys Faith!”


Riverrun: Bronn and Podric have a reunion, and Bronn was his classic scene stealing self. Jaime and Brienne also have their reunion, except it is under more stressful circumstances. Brienne tells Jaime the situation with Sansa, and also offers to try and convince the Blackfish to give up the castle. Brienne goes into the castle and the Blackfish shuts her down hard.


Mereen: Tyrion finally convince Grey Worm and Misande to have a drink. They tell a couple jokes and it was a nice moment of levity to catch up with Tyrion.


Riverrun: Jaime and Edmure have a discussion about Jaime’s respect for Catelyn Stark, and goes on a rant about how he will kill every man, woman, and child to get back to Cersei if he has to. . Jaime releases Edmure to convince the Tully’s to let the Lannisters into the Riverrun Castle. He does, and orders the Tully’s to lower the gates to let the Lannister’s in. The siege ends, and Blackfish dies. He does off screen, though, which was unfair, because his character deserved a better death.


Mereen: Mereen is being attacked by the Slave Masters, when Dany finally returns on her dragon to f*ck sh*t up. She doesn’t say anything, but looks quite pissed at Tyrion.

“The angrier she looks, the hotter she looks.”


Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: The Hound finally catches up to the guys he was looking for, who were already captured by Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr, and the rest of the Brotherhood Without Banners. If you don’t remember, the Hound actually killed Beric in season 3, so their reunion was quite hilarious. The Brotherhood allows The Hound to kill 2 out of 3 of them. The Hound joins the Brotherhood, which is going to be absolutely awesome.


Braavos: Arya and the Waif finally confront each other, except they kinda screwed us and didn’t show the fight. Arya kills the Waif and puts her face on the Wall of Faces or whatever. She sneaks up on Jaquen H’ghar and puts Needle to his heart. He says some crap about “a girl is finally No One” but Arya says nah I’m a Stark I’m going home.


The preview for next week looks like episode 9 will be the best Game Of Thrones episode ever, so get ready! Catch you next week.

NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 6 Results: Penguins Win The Stanley Cup

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the Pittsburgh Penguins are the 2016 Stanley Cup Champions.  Pittsburgh triumphed 3-1 over the Sharks in San Jose in Game 6 to earn the ultimate prize in hockey. The Penguins were among the league’s most disappointing teams in early part of the season, but when the calendar flipped to 2016 they morphed into a juggernaut and ultimately fulfilled their immense potential. Longtime goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury battled injuries at the start of the postseason and was replaced by Matt Murray, who ended up being a catalyst rather than a liability for the Penguins throughout the playoffs. Sidney Crosby won the Conn Smythe Trophy, given to the MVP of the playoffs. It’s the second time the Penguins’ captain name will be engraved on the Stanley Cup, having previously won it for Pittsburgh in 2009. It’s the fourth time in franchise history the Penguins have conquered the Cup.

In game 6 the Penguins got off to a blistering start when Brian Dumoulin ripped one from long-range past Sharks goalie Martin Jones. The Sharks put the pressure on in the 2nd period and were able to tie it up with a goal by their playoff behemoth Logan Couture. But just when that goal seemed to shift momentum in the Sharks favor, the Penguins immediately responded with a tight-angled Kris Letang goal off a nifty assist by Crosby. The Penguins thwarted San Jose’s offense afterward, limiting the Sharks to just 2 shots in the third period. Patric Hornqvist added an empty netter with about a minute left to seal the deal for Pittsburgh.

It’s easy to root against the NHL’s Golden Boy Crosby because of his frequent complaining and diving and wholesome image, but winning a second cup cements his place as this generation’s best. After losing the incomparable “Mr. Hockey” Gordie Howe this week, Sidney Crosby continues to be the closest thing we have to that type of all-around excellence on the ice. Congratulations to him and the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins, your 2016 Stanley Cup Champions.

When is Summer Solstice 2016? When is the Longest Day of the Year?

When is Summer Solstice 2016

Every year, in the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice takes place between June 20 and 22. This year the solstice falls on Monday, June 20, 2016. As the longest day of the year, it is the tipping point of shorter days and longer nights.

As solstices happen twice annually, the winter solstice is between December 20 and 22.

I won’t make the longest day of the year longer by explaining why it’s the longest day of the year. We’ll save the science for winter solstice, but the let’s take a look at an interesting study about summer solstice and mood swings.

Enter social media. In 2011, a group of researchers decided to look at the tweets of some 2.4 million people from all over the world, from February 2008 to January 2010, selecting 400 tweets at random from each Twitter user. They wanted to see if people’s mood changed with the time of day, the day of the week, and the season.

They found meaningful differences in all of these areas. But when it came to seasonal mood swings, they discovered something surprising. It was not the absolute amount of daylight but the relative change in that daylight that mattered most.

Which means if today’s daylight is longer than yesterday’s daylight, people are happier. When the change in daylight was positive, when approaching the summer solstice, people were significantly happier than they did when that change was negative, or approaching the winter solstice.

So it’s only natural that the culmination of half a year of good mood results in some kind of fireworks.

In New York on summer solstice, the sunrise will be at 5:25 AM, and sunset will occur at 8:31 PM.

Beer on the rooftop is in order.

WATCH: John Oliver’s Response To The Orlando Shooting Is Perfect

John Oliver, an Englishman, always seems to have a better grasp of the state of America than most Americans do.

 

Here’s a transcript of what Oliver said:

” Hello there, I’m John Oliver, and before we start the show tonight I would like to quickly address the tragic events in Orlando, as I’m sure you know by now at least 50 people were killed by a gunman at a gay night club in what is being described as a terrorist attack. And, look, it’s still early, and details are still emerging, and right now this just hurts.

And, the worst thing is, this pain is so familiar. In Paris, last November, terrorists seemed to target places symbolizing everything that is wonderful about France: culture, music, restaurants. And, in Orlando, early this morning, the gunman attacked a Latin night, at a gay club, in the theme park capital of the world.

And for the record, I will happily embrace a Latin night, at a gay club, in the theme park capital of the world, as the ultimate symbol of what is truly wonderful about America.

And, it’s hard to even know what to do in the wake of an event like this. We do have a comedy show for you, and we will begin it in a minute, with what will seem like jarringly inappropriate gangly music, and I’m sure there will be much more to say about Orlando going forward.

But for right now, on a day when some dipshit terrorist wants us to focus on one man’s act of brutality and hatred, it might be worth seeing this video, which was posted to Twitter today. It shows hundreds and hundreds of people this morning lining up around the block in Florida, waiting to donate blood. And it kind of reminds you, that that terrorist dipshit, is vastly outnumbered. And now, please enjoy our stupid show.”

John Oliver, the greatest British import maybe ever.

The Rock and Disney? Does it get any better? Probably not. The Rock’s next movie will be a Disney animation movie, and you can bet grown men will be in line to see it, because we’ll watch anything with The Rock in it.

The Rock will be playing Maui, a demi-god. In ancient Oceania in the South Pacific, the young Moana is a born navigator who sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her journey, she teams up with her hero and legendary demi-god Maui.

The Rock quite literally doesn’t make bad movies. I mean, sh*t, San Andreas, was literally just The Rock versus Mother Nature, and had NO business being a successful movie. Yet, because The Rock was in it, it made almost half a billion dollars worldwide, with a sequel on the way. Now that The Rock has teamed up with Disney, fresh off of animation mega-hits Frozen and Zootopia, look for Moana to approach a billion dollars at the box office.

Just warning you now, this is really tough to watch. Snapchat video taken by Orlando shooting victim Amanda Alvear captures the moment shots rang out inside Pulse Nightclub. Amanda Alvear did not survive the shooting.

Video obtained by CNN shows Alvear, 25, Snapchatting videos of the dance floor the moment shots began to ring out inside of Pulse Nightclub.

Amanda had spent Friday and Saturday shopping with her nieces, Bella, 12, and Zatanna, 8, spoiling them with clothes.

According to her brother, Brian:

“She was a fashionista. She liked to look good and she wanted my girls – her girls – to look good,” he said. “She liked to make them look very good.”

Amanda was a graduate of Ridge Community High School in Davenport and worked as a pharmacy technician. She planned to be a nurse. Her brother said that Amanda would regularly attend gay and lesbian clubs because she felt safe to be herself there. Amanda’s brother Brian continues to say that Amanda would not want anyone to spread hate or vengeance for her:

“She wouldn’t want anyone to spread hate for her,” her brother said. “She’d rather they spread more love, keep friends and family close, and have a good time doing it.”

I actually like Stephen A Smith. He catches a lot of crap, but the dude is a proud New Yorker, which is a major bonus in my book. He is also notorious for speaking his mind, no matter how pantently ridiculous his opinion may be. Ya gotta respect that. So, naturally, when it comes to the infamous topic of O.J. Simpson, SAS is convinced he would have gotten the verdict that 99% of humanity thinks OJ deserved.

Told ya. Just Stephen A, Stephen A’ing hard AF. Still, though, you have to respect the man’s confidence.

Stephen A Smith: you either hate to love him, or love to hate him. There is no in between.

ios 10 download

Every year, Apple releases a new operating system for their respective products, typically in unison with the release of their new products. This year is no different, a iOS 10 is expected to be released in September, being released simultaneously with the iPhone 7. The upgrades and new features were just announced, amping up the anticipation.

This is how to you download the new operating system, Apple iOS 10:

iOS 10 Easy Install and Update for iPhone and iPads

This is the easiest, but less-preferred method of updating your iPhone or iPad.

  3. Find the iOS 10 Software Update, and click that.
  4. Wait and relax as the new iOS 10 installs on your computer.

This is the preferred method, as a clean install will remove any artifacts of an older, obsolete operating system.

  2. Before you begin installing iOS 10, you must back up your phone via iTunes or iCloud.
  3. Download the direct link to iOS 10 to your computer.

  5. Relax and wait as your phone restores with the new operating system.

iOS 10 Features and Updates

New Lock Screen

iOS 10 has a new raise-to-wake feature that wakes up to display the lock screen without having to touch any buttons. The updated lock screen also includes new features that give native apps and third-party apps an interactive interface. You will be able to clear  your notifications with a 3D Touch gesture, and widgets will FINALLY be available on the lock screen with a quick swipe to the right.

Siri being opened to developers

Siri will now be open to developers, meaning, you will be able to use Siri to open and operate apps. For example, you will be able to send messages in WhatsApp, or order an Uber, all with just your voice. Awesome.

Quick Type Enhancements

Apple will be dramatically improving Quick Type suggestions. Siri will also be involved in this update, for example, if someone messages you with “Where are you?” Quick Type will offer your current location as a suggestion.

Updated Photos App

Facial recognition technology will now group all of your friends and family into specific albums automatically. It will do the same with scenes and objects as well (mountains, horses, trees, etc). A second next feature, Memories, will automatically group photos to create movies, slide shows and more. If you go on vacation and take 200 pictures, your iPhone will group them into a single memory.

New Messaging Features

The first new feature is called Rich Links. Rich Links will give you previews of content when you receive a message with a link. For example,  videos on rich links will play right in line automatically, and music can be played right from within the app when someone sends you a link to a song in Apple Music. Emoji are three times bigger on the keyboard, and Quick Type offers emoji suggestions. Handwriting and Digital Touch will now also be available on the Messages app.

One of the most exciting new features of the Messages app is the new bubble effects let users send messages with animated chat bubbles. They can grow larger for shouting, smaller for whispers, and there are some other effects as well. It’s kind of hard to describe with text, so you can check out animations on the official iOS website.

New Phone Features

The Phone app will now automatically transcribe your voicemails. While very cool, I just don’t see it’s use, as voicemail is a dying service. Even those who do still use voicemail usually don’t leave a message long enough that it needs to be transcribed. There’s also an extension that will allow supported spam lists block spam calls without any intervention needed from the user.

Notes Collaboration

Just like Google Docs, you will now be able work live and edit notes with multiple users at once.

Safari Split View

It took them a while, but you will finally be able to view two websites at once in the Safari app.
