Recently, a suspicious phone call was made to 911. Omar Mateen called from a night club admitting that he was the shooter in Orlando. When asked his identity, he replied, "My name is I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghadhi of the Islamic State." Confused by this message, 911 called back several times and were able to get a hold of Mateen. When asked what was going on in the night club he explained that he could "feel the pain of people getting killed in Syria and Iraq." The negotiators are still confused to these messages. I feel that Mateen did a responsible think admitting to what he had done, even though it was wrong. I'm not sure why he did it so "creepily," though.

The whole scenario is so sad. Omar Mateen clearly wanted the police to know that it was a terrorist attack. I feel bad for the families of the victims.
ReplyDeleteThat's so weird the way he just randomly called them and admitted to his mistake. It is good that he told the truth but it's kind of confusing.
ReplyDeletejust listened to the chilling call. dont even know how to react. This world is a terrible place. logan mook
ReplyDeleteWhat's really nerve-racking is the fact that during this event, it was as if he had split personalities. One person wanting justice and peace for the victims of war in the middle east and almost guiltily admitting a murderous act, and the other person who actually started the massacre and wanted the people of this club to pay. It gives me chills.
ReplyDeleteI think he was more than slightly mentally unstable, and that was part of the reason behind his actions
