Think of Orlando and the faces of excited children having fun in Disneyworld come to mind. But the place has now become synonimous with death and disastor. A gay bar in Orlando is where the random killing of 49 innocent people by a solo gunman took place. He was probably brainwashed and did not relaise the consequences of his actions. These people will go to any length in the name of religion.
This time a specific group was targetted but follow up actions can take place anywhere. It is disturbing and scaring to think that other such attacks may be carried out by people with twisted mind who seem to believe that this is a path ot fame and glory. It all boils down to religion. People with various beliefs and cultures hold different views and those who they feel are breaking the norms become their targets. This comes in the wake of the killings of innocent people in Brussels and Paris.
The latest shooting of people inĀ Orlando seem to have been carried out in the name of God. But none of our Gods condone the random killing of people. If natural disasters like the Tsunamis, earthquakes, flash floods and mud slides are not enough, we have these man made disasters taking place today. Why did this attack on innocent people take place or to put it in other words, would this happen again? Would this create a trend for things to come?
