Orlando gunman had used gay dating app and visited LGBT nightclub on other occasions, witnesses say

Omar Mateen, Terrorist Who Attacked Orlando Gay Club

The gunman who attacked a Florida LGBT nightclub had attended the club before the attack and had used a gay dating and chat app, witnesses said.

Kevin West, a regular at Pulse nightclub, said Omar Mateen messaged him on and off for a year before the shooting using the gay chat and dating app Jack’d.

But they never met – until early Sunday morning.

West was dropping off a friend at the club when he noticed Mateen – whom he knew by sight but not by name – crossing the street wearing a dark cap and carrying a black cellphone about 1 a.m., an hour before the shooting.

“He walked directly past me. I said, ‘Hey,’ and he turned and said, ‘Hey,’” and nodded his head, West said. “I could tell by the eyes.”

  1. The modern world is too much for these guys…

  2. Hypocrisy is no great feat for a master of mendacity (i.e., a blackhearted jihadi freakshow).
