I just can't believe, that as these investigations continue, how complicit people are and yet don't say anything. If I knew anyone was even contemplating something like this 911 would be lit up.
They asked him. He said that he was aligned with ISIS and Hezbollah. As those two groups are apparently incompatible, basically they assumed he was a wack-job and watched him for a while.

You can certainly fault the FBI retrospectively here. However, unless we all want to give up our gun rights without due process, I'm not sure what our government could have done other than guess a little better about another lone-wolf wack job. He didn't have any legitimate links to terrorist organizations beyond his own mouth.

I agree, I don't advocate bypassing due process, nor do I believe that anyone should be denied their right to own firearms, without a court order. But the fact, that now, apparently, there was someone who did, in fact, know of his plans, actually provided transportation for what was essentially a recon mission, and failed to do anything to prevent it, is an indication, similar to the San Bernardino case, that other were aware and, in my opinion are just as guilty of the murders as the shooter. This hearkens back to my original post on this topic, regarding members of the Islamic, faith, refusing to make their voices heard, and standing by silently as more of these attacks are carried out. While they may quietly say they are opposed to these attacks, they never vehemently denounce them, or the the perpetrators.
I apologize for the long run-on sentences, that's just the way my brain operates.

sad note...why do folks go hid in the restrooms?
OK i said it first
he was a person of "alternate" lifestyle. ABC reported it a few hours ago

his father told the ex wife not to say anything about his lifestyle
I knew it..he was trolling for hookups, doesn't take years to formulate an attack plan

will isis now say he was not with them as he is confirmed as bisexual?

really amazed at the lack of coordination of all law enforcement agencies ...oh my

Obama rules kept investigators from connecting the dots.

Some parts of the bill of rights are more important than others especially when dealing with some religions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_I ... st_attacks

Orlando removed from the list of Islamist terrorist attacks. But boy this is quite a list, they have been busy.

See even calling on the phone and telling 911 that you support Isis and your Muslim doesn't qualify your attack as an Islamist attack as it is not proof to the Wikipedia editors.

This is why Isis has called for its martyrs to attack only White people otherwise the attack will not be counted.

The FBI has found no credible evidence at all that the shooter was gay.

Maybe she was confused about what sanctuary city now means. Speaking to the FBI with out an attorney present is dangerous to your freedom.
