CNN is reporting that the Orlando shooter tried to buy military-grade body armor and large amounts of ammo but the store refused to sell it to him. The store owner thought he was suspicious and notified authorities.

It seems like we have some systems in place, but none are used.

really?

ok so they questioned this guy not once, not twice, but 3 times. let him go.

then a store alerts authorities that someone is trying to buy massive amounts of ammo and body armor, and it ether doesn't get to the Feds or they chose to ignore it.

oh and lets not forget who Omar Mateen idolized - the Tsarnaev brothers. ALSO cleared by the FBI who ALSO ignored warnings from Russian intelligence.

and that's just what we know. Imagine what they swept under the rug that we don't.

lmao..Well let's see, they could have done their damn jobs when his workmates, Disney and this seller reported him instead of thinking they were anti-Muslim bigots for starters.

Absolutely nothing. I just don't think the FBI should be blamed for not stopping an individual who was dead set on murdering a bunch of people.

Body armor is overkill, all he needed was a steel mesh undy to keep his male-bits intact to enjoy his 72 virgins in after-life.
