2 reasons to ask whether FBI already knew Mateen was closeted gay: f they didn't, wouldn't have found terror ties. https://www.emptywheel.net/2016/06/14/what-did-fbi-do-with-evidence-that-mateen-was-a-closeted-gay/ …

The logic carries here to extra suspicion of anyone who has personal issues. Invitation for stereotyping.
-
No. The logic carries to extra suspicion for people who are violent. Again, stop ignoring that part of my tweet.
-
I see the nuance and don't see how it helps. Or are you saying we screen known violent people for mental disturbances?
-
I'm saying the people who commit mass shootings in this country are mentally disturbed men w/past expression of violence.
-
How big is that haystack?
-
Again, I'm NOT saying go after the haystack. I'm asking if FBI won't ID a needle IN HAND bc it's not the needle they're looking for.
-
I don't see how that practically shakes out to be different. "We have this loose profile" still seems to be driving
-
No. "We have tons of data but we're ignoring all the STANDARD warning signs of it bc it's not precise details we're looking for."

Does the FBI have any gay profilers? Am declining to insert Hoover comment...
-
I'm not asking for gay profilers. I'm asking for FBI to identify when someone is fucked up, for whatever reason.
-
more telling than sexuality issues is spousal abuse. A big flag that should make you circle the wagon over and over.
-
Yup. Been saying that: tho not sure if she reported him.
@techmove -
In the end afraid all these questions will be covered up cause FBI thinks they'll be led to something bigger by perp

#FBI almost certainly used sex ID issue in concert w other pressure points in Mateen handling. http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2016/06/confirmed-fbi-introduced-florida.html … -
Yes, I hope we get far more visibility on the informants, plural.

Wait wait. Why does that matter? Many many people with sexuality problems, most don't go on mass killings.
-
You see where I said "seek attention thru violence"? You're focused on sexuality not violence.
