Seriously?

I hope the Orlando PD does release the entire transcript.

3. Poor Winnie The Pooh.

He never asked any of his followers to do anything, much less anything like this.

Too early? Yeah, I know. Still...

6. Only after Loretta got told enough is enough.

"I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State."

Bizarre that they thought they needed to redact that.
