I am still in shock about the terror attack at the gay nightclub in Orlando a week ago. I am glad that it was Shavuot when it happened so I could not listen to Obama's statement or any newscaster's opinions for a few days.
I have a few thoughts that I would like to share. I do not think that increased gun control laws would have stopped this attack. Hello. Terrorists have ways of securing guns to do nefarious things. I myself do not own a gun nor do I want to. What if the bouncer at the Pulse club in Orlando had a gun and knew how to use it? Maybe the devastation would not have been as great.
The funniest reaction I have heard is that the LGBT community is upset that people are making this such a universal tragedy instead of just an LGBT tragedy. To this I say, " Huh? " Isn't that what they want? Don't they want the whole world to be shocked and saddened because this was a horrible act to happen to people not just that its a horrible act to happen to LGBTs ?
As for our fearless leader Obama, all I can say is that the snippets I have heard of his reaction is more upsetting than the actions of the terrorist. He still thinks that if we all joins hands and sing "Kumbaya" there will be peace. I guess it works for him because he and Michelle can escape quickly to their secure bunker if necessary. What about the rest of us?
The terrorist last week was on a no fly list . He was known to be belligerent and apparently he wasn't being watched well enough because this still happened. Its good news bad news. He didn't appear on the terror scene out of the blue, but its rather horrific that no one was able to stop him .
I do think that the number 49 is significant in this massacre as this shooting happened on the first night of Shavuot. Shavuot is 49 days after Pesach. The Jews had descended to 49 levels of toomah before matan torah. I don't know how to process all of this , but I am sure some rabbi already has. If I bother to look I will probably find one of their guesses.
I am sending condolences to the friends and families of those who were murdered in terrorist attack in Orlando. I wish all those who injured in the attack a refuah shelmah. I wish all of us a peaceful world.

What does it say about a society where both the murderer and the victims found time during the event to take selfies, post to twitter and send out texts?
And what does it say when the gay community can't really speak out against the community that produced this attacker because it's not politically correct to?
Wow. I did not realize people were taking selfies as this was going on.Then again I remember that people were taking selfies during 9/11 so why not during this
