Gunman Pledged Allegiance To ISIS Before Florida Massacre

Although President Obama begrudgingly admitted that the mass murder in Orlando, Florida was an act of terrorism (which the FBI had already announced), he was, once again, unable to bring himself to say "radical Islam." He was, however, quite able to once again blame guns.

Blame the gun, not the gunman.

Jamie Schram and Tina Moore at the New York Post offers a piece on the gunman, Omar Mateen (seen in the above photo), noting that he pledged allegiance to ISIS prior to his attack on the Orlando nightclub.

The shooter who killed at least 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando has been identified as Omar Mateen, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Mateen was a U.S. citizen with no apparent criminal history, was born to Afghan parents in New York in 1986 and was living in Port St. Lucie, Fla., according to multiple media reports.

Mateen had committed himself to ISIS before carrying out the bloodiest mass murder in US history at a gay nightclub in Orlando on Sunday, federal officials said.

How Not To Be Shot By Cops: NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton Offers Common Sense Advice

Tina Moore the New York Post reports on the NYPD commissioner's advice on how to avoid being shot by police officers

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton has some simple advice for New Yorkers – if you don’t want to get shot by cops, don’t point a gun at them.

“The best way to not get shot by a New York City police officer is not carry a gun and not raise that gun toward them,” Bratton said at a news conference Monday.

His comments came in reaction to a question about George Tillman, 32, who was killed on April 17 when an NYPD sergeant and three cops fired 13 shots at him, hitting him 11 times in Queens around 1:30 a.m. Police sources said he had a gun in his waistband and pulled it out as officers chased him near the corner of 135th St. and 116th Ave. in South Ozone Park.
