I didn't know about that. But you're right. People looking to start something just need the motivation. Events are motivating on all sides of an issue even if it turns out to be bogus, misreported, or planned. But I also based that on the report of his father saying he planned the attack after seeing people kiss outside the club. I'm sure he figured out what it was when he saw the room full of people there for Latin Night. It may be that he knew what it was and had it as a backup because of what it was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_nightclub_shooting#Motive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_nightclub_shooting#Mot... >> "On the day of the shooting, Mateen's father, Mir Seddique Mateen, said that he had seen his son get angry after seeing a gay couple kiss in front of his family at the Bayside Marketplace in Miami months prior to the shooting, which he suggested might have been a motivating factor." One theory is that he was deep in the closet, self-hating, and knew about it because he went there. The FBI thinks not because they found no evidence, but it's normal for people in the closet to bifurcate their lives. If he were planning to go out like this, ensuring no one found any evidence of that would be a priority. History is hard to pin down when the people in it are dead.
