Sonic Overload 6/13/16

An unspeakable incident—50 people dead and over 50 wounded at Pulse, a gay dance club in Orlando. Given that the shooter (or terrorist, because that’s what he was) is of Afghan descent and called 911 before carrying out this act to claim his support of ISIS, we’ll no doubt see an increase, once again, in anti-Muslim sentiment and that plays right into the hands of the Vulgar Talking Yam (credit: Charlie Pierce) running as the Republican presidential candidate. To say nothing of other fear-mongering, bigoted politicians. And they still won’t give one inch on any sort of rational gun control. Also, when these right-wing politicians bleat about keeping the victims, their families and the city of Orlando in their “thoughts and prayers,” realize that these are the same politicians who hate gay people, who want to deny them even the most basic civil liberties.

I can’t add much more than that. I don’t think I want to. R.I.P. to all the victims and condolences to their loved ones.
