Heeeeers Johnny

26. It's possible that he was a self hating gay person...

I wouldn't totally dismiss it or rule it out, but the comments from 4 people seem more like 'hey, I know that guy,
or at least I think I do'.

said Monday that they believe they had seen Mateen there before.



The other thing that makes me suspicious is that according to their statements, Mateen was a drinker also...



Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent," said Ty Smith, who also uses the name Aries.



I don't know, nor have I read just how devote a Muslim he was, but his drinking habits just don't jive with his religion.
