A man who says he was Omar Mateen's lover has claimed the mass murderer acted out of revenge after finding out one of his partners was HIV positive.

<snip>

In an interview with Spanish-language television network Univision the man, who was identified only by the name Miguel, claimed he and Mateen were "friends with benefits".

<snip>

He claimed Mateen had sex with two Puerto Rican men, one of whom he later discovered was HIV positive, and that he became "terrified".

The man said: "He hated gay Puerto Ricans for all the stuff they did to him. I believe this crazy horrible thing he did was for revenge.

"When I asked him what he was going to do now his answer was: 'I’m going to make them pay for what they did to me'."

2. But The Masters of War say

that it's terrorism, and only terrorism.

6. I'll continue to believe

the killer - till proven otherwise.

7. Then you're plainly refusing to think very deeply on this subject ...

Because this was a hate crime, pure and simple ... committed by someone who hated who and what he was, most likely based on his religion.

It seriously could not BE any more obvious at this point, if you've paid attention to the testimonial of the people who actually knew the guy.

"I'll Believe The Killer"?

Do you even hear yourself?

8. I'll wait for the FBI to determine. Perhaps

you should, too.

12. FBI made a statement there is

no indication he was gay. There's another post on this.

10. How can anyone believe the killer when he cited support for two terrrorist oprganizations that are

mortal enemies? The terrorism shtick is clearly cover for his personal motivations and issues.

3. He had a violent back ground and he had lots of hate.

4. Has this been confirmed? If not then I question it being posted in LBN. nt

9. I don't know if it was confirmed but the video was pretty compelling.

I don't think the headline captures the interview that well.
