        Why would he do it on a Holy day? Because the guy is a radical terrorist and has no regard for life or God.

        I believe in turning the other cheek but criminal acts should be punished.

        It is sadly acute as to where this terrorist got the message to hate.

        Read the @USATODAY story. It appears the shooter's father also is an anti-gay bigot.

        Wasn't it timed because ISIS said that the reward would be 10x greater if killings were done during Ramadan. Bonus points. Sick.
