    This article makes a convincing case that I (and others) were wrong to portray the Pulse massacre as being motivated by homophobia:https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/noor-salman-pulse-massacre-wrong_us_5ac29ebae4b04646b6454dc2 …

        It also makes clear that the government actively pushed false narratives, but bravo for admitting this

        The “fallacy of the plausible narrative” can be applied to many stories - it makes sense, but can overlook hard questions and significant facts.

        When someone says straight up I got it wrong, that’s a time to be gracious.

        Holy crap. I would have never expected this much honesty from a leftist in the face of a victimhood narrative. I'm amazed.

        If a mass-murderer says they are motivated by Islamism or any other ideology, we should probably consider that they are.

        Nope -- mass murderers are often troubled individuals who glom on to ideology to justify pre-existing violent urges. Nikolas Cruz is example.

        This is, surprisingly, quite a good article by Huffpo! Those prosecutors better suffer more consequences than just a tongue lashing.

        On the other hand, homophobia could have played a role when Mateen chose a new target. When he googled 'downtown Orlando night clubs' it would be pretty easy to see what kind of club Pulse was.

        Except, crucially, he was surprised there weren't women there.
