Recently the Washington Post published an article marking the one-year anniversary of the heinous Pulse nightclub shooting. While the shooting was heinous, so was WaPo’s characterization of it:
By the end of the night, more than 1,000 people had gathered to remember what happened last June, when Orlando became the first U.S. city of the summer — before Falcon Heights, Minn., and Baton Rouge and Dallas — to be upended by gun violence…
Did you get that? Gun violence. The Daily Caller presents a portion of the 911 call transcript:
— “Emergency 911, this is being recorded,” the operator said.
— “In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficent,” Mateen said in Arabic.
— “What?”
— “Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God,” he continued, then switching to English: “I wanna let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.”
— “What’s your name?”
— “My name is I pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State.”
— “What’s your name?”
— “I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State.”
— “Alright, where are you at?”
— “In Orlando.”
— “Where in Orlando?”
Anything I could add to that would be superfluous.
Just read that, and think on it, and think about what an enormous steaming pile of shit that WaPo writer cranked out.
