127. I don't believe that people are going to allow themselves to be slaughtered much longer.

And people aren't going to be bullied into staying quiet and not connecting dots.

This killers father is a supporter of the Taliban. The killer pledged allegiance to ISIS. Islamic state hates homosexuals, and like the teachings of the religion state, the penalty is death.

What did the killer do? He killed homosexuals.

It's as direct a line as 911 was to Bin Laden.
