Orlando shooter claimed to be apart of multiple terrorist groups even rivals of the same terrorist groups he claimed but really was just a guy in the closet.
Nobody is able to determine the internal motivation of a deceased man. If he stated he completed his terrorist act in the name of ISIS, that is his own internal motivation and driving force behind the behaviour. Whether he is actually tied to the organization is moot in this instance. His motivation, and our verbal record of his motivation is the only applicable evidence.
The fact is that a Latino man he had sex with told him he had HIV and that was the reason he specifically targeted that club on Latino Night.
Why do you think that story lost steam so quickly? They couldn't play up the terrorist angle so people stopped talking about it. Turned into a discussion about gun control.
