The gunman who killed 49 people at a gay club in the US this week wrote a series of Facebook posts about the “filthy ways of the West” before and during the shooting rampage, a top US Senator has said and asked the founder of the social networking site to assist in the probe.

Such an assertion by Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs came amidst reports that Mateen, 29, made as many as 16 phone calls, including three to 911 and one to a local television stations during the several hours of early Sunday morning when he carried out the deadliest shooting in American history.

In a letter to the Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Johnson said it is his understanding that Mateen used Facebook before and during the attack to search for and post terrorism-related content.

They’ve gotta be kidding – they expect us to believe he made 16 phone calls, and not only posted on Facebook but conducted research to post about terrorism? How do they come up with this nonsense?

Some might say – who is The Indian Express? So, I checked to see if any mainstream media outlets ran this crap. Sure enough, it’s on Fox News. So, yeah, the mainstream media expects people to believe this.

Next, they’ll tell us he ordered lunch and smoked a few rounds of hookah. Why not, Americans will believe anything.
