ORLANDO SHOOTING QUICK FACTS

It's very unfortunate that this tragedy had to happen for people to see that #gaylivesmatter. Just a few years ago, people were banning gay marriages, then a few weeks ago, the big debate over the use of public bathrooms being used by both genders, and we can't forge the disgust a lot had for Bruce Jenner, now all of a sudden, a tragedy occurs and everyone is on a band wagon once again. No offense to any one in particular, but this whole epidemic is beginning to be too much. My heart goes out to the victims of the shooting as well as their family. No one deserves to be gunned down in the manner they were for simply enjoying a night out.

I love analyzing individuals based off of behavior. So I put together a quick facts checklist to understand why this happened? There is no valid reasoning behind the attack that left 49 dead and over 50 injured during the Orlando Nightclub Shooting that happened on Saturday night. But it had to be "something" behind the madness to actually carry out this terrorist attack.

The shooter: Omar Mateen

29 years of age
Born in New York
Married
Pledged allegiance to ISIS through a 911 call prior to shooting
Shooting occurred at a Latin gay club
Voiced his hatred for gays, Jews, other minorities
Afghan descent
At some point the FBI had an active investigation on Omar Mateen but had closed it prior to incident citing that there was nothing conclusive.
Shooting happened during the month of Ramadan, which is the time ISIS calls out its followers to carry out attacks around the world. (sick)
Was a security who held rights to have a gun
Father attempted to run for presidency in Afghanistan and supported the Taliban
Purchased two guns days prior to attack
Held a Criminal Justice Degree
Applied for the police academy before
Stalked and threatened coworkers because of ethnicity
Batterer. (He beat his ex-wife).
Had an aggressive type behavior and could flip at any moment, displaying rage
Claims to have been disgusted and upset
due to seeing two men kissing in front of his 3 year-old son

The mindset of this "individual" is one of a deranged man, very unstable. Seems to have been overlooked even though he displayed his hate for others vocally. Why was he not under a microscope due to his affiliation with Aghanistan radical groups? I am just not understanding. I just pray that one day we all can live in a peaceful world. You never know when you walk out of the door if someone is having a bad day and may shoot up a supermarket, just because. It has to end!

BLAC CHYNA GIVES BIRTH DURING MANNEQUIN CHALLENGE

So everyone is doing the new video challenge called, The Mannequin, where everyone freezes in the video. So Blac Chyna thought it would be cool to do it while being in labor. Hmmm... Okay, well not literally. However, shortly afterwards, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian welcome a beautiful baby girl, Dream Kardashian, into the world on November 10th. Of course social media didn't tell well to the name, Dream, but I like it. It's different. I mean, people have to take into consideration that baby Dream was not born into just an average family, but a family of Kardashian's with a cousin named "North-West", a brother that is also a step-cousin (I think ??), then an aunt, who is actually a step-mom...?? Okay, that's neither here nor there but you get the point. Usually, babies are born into that awkward phase where they look like no one in particular, yet everyone at the same time. At least in my eyes, Dream favors first-time daddy, Robert Kardashian. Wh...

BOW WOW CHALLENGE: FUNNIEST MEMES

Once again, rapper/actor Shad Moss (Bow Wow/ Lil Bow wow) was caught "insta-lying" again, which created a challenge called "#BowWowChallenge" by social media. It all started with Bow Wow posting a picture about him catching a flight to NYC. The picture he posted was of a private jet and a fancy car outside of it, pretty much indicating that he was about to hop on it. It all went down hill when a fan of his happened to be following Bow Wow's post on IG and saw he posted he was on a private jet (though he didn't state it directly). Once the coach passenger noticed Bow Wow was lying, he took a picture and uploaded to social media, which then prompted a mass influx of people searching the internet to find where Bow Wow had stolen the picture from. Ultimately, they found it and started calling Bow Wow out on his lies. Even rapper, 50 Cent took part in the challenge. LOL

Do you watch Black Ink NY? If so, did you notice how Sky's confidence level went to over "a hunnit" after she got the plastic surgery she has been dyin gto get. I mean she always had an outgoing personality, but now "it's all the way up." Congrats to Sky and that new body. What I love is that she didn't go too overboard like most people with injections/implants. Before : After:
