Childhood friend of the suspected Orlando mass shooting gunman is speaking out. CBSN's Josh Elliott sat down with the friend of Omar Mateen.

[@SiskinOnUTube]

Was it really necessary to put the mic up in a helicopter?

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

I thought the mic was on a drone. Drones are so in these days.

[@jsmith2144]

this whole story is fucking fishy as hell.

[@tzermonkey]

+Yotto O. You just don't like him cause he's gay.

[@yottoo.5037]

[@emy7971]

+Yotto O. don't bother responding

[@andrika1990]

yes. this shit don't add up. they cry he was gay in one breath and then say he was out to avenge afghanistan in another breath. this story doesn't add up. the boston bombing made more sense...

[@andrika1990]

[@georgecoleman4300]

That seemed like one of the only truthful interviews I've see. He knows nothing of what made a childhood friend shoot a bunch of people. I cant believe they took that much time with him getting nothing they really wanted, and let him get his own message out .

[@stephanieramirez2947]

kid is interview is smart. he going to med school and I'm sure they offered him money for interview. to tell us nothing of relavence

this man was really brave...god bless him..there is a time for everything: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

[@thespecialone9127]

that whole mess looked like a drill..I'm sorry

[@drewjenn9819]

No need to apologize, it was clearly a drill. No ambulance or medical professionals in sight. Just a bunch of idiots loading bodies into police pickup trucks and carrying each other down the street. Just a endless line of police cruisers controlling the crime scene that they created by perpetrating this scandal on American idiots.

[@govindagovindaji4662]

Wow. This is sad for him, and his family and friends, too...in so many ways. He obviously, like the rest of us is disgusted by the acts of any mass shooter...so it's gotta be hard to know a friend of yours did one. This shooter must have either dived deeper into his mental illness rapidly or radicalized rapidly, or both (and don't forget actions of steroids on the adrenal glands hyping everything, including any even small violent tendencies or intensifying feelings of isolation; some people choose isolation as a safety field, but others feel angered by or not understanding their isolation (Adam Lanza); Though this guy had only really seen him a few years ago when other co-security guards liked the shooter well enough, there has since been a security guard who has spoken out about the shooter; he said he had to quit his job because he couldn't get a transfer away from the shooter whose hatred toward woman and blacks had been significant when he worked with him. But still ~ a few years is fast.

[@strewf]

How come a person is innocent until proved guilty UNLESS the police kill him? If the police kill you, you were guilty if they say you were.

[@strewf]

lmaoyourekiddingme No, THE POLICE SAID HE ADMITTED HE DID IT. Are you so brainwashed that you couldn't make that distinction?

[@TheEAGLESEYES007]

ugh sounds like a bunch of made up propaganda bs to me

[@michaelthorsby]

Propaganda for what, propaganda for childhood friends? If you gonna throw your illuminati and false flag theories around you can at lease build your sentences right so people outside your own head understand what you're saying.

[@ojee5231]

+Michael Thorsby illuminati? It isn't the first time the United States has done something to place the US in a state of fear to use as an excuse to do something drastic.

[@michaelthorsby]

What is tis drastic thing you're saying that the state is trying to do? Close the gun show loop hole? I don't see any drastic action from anybody, except diabolical statements from Trump.

[@michaelthorsby]

how can you be an expert on something that doesn't exist?

[@michaelmckesson6997]

Oh please buddy you think a gun show is the biggest loop hole? I can go to any major city in the U.S. and get a firearm in few hours. From a Saturday night special like a .38 or a completely illegal fully auto AK47. So to all those who cry more regulation. I say wake up to reality TO FUCKING LATE! There is no way to regulate guns any more.

[@vrsstudiosorlando4062]

This is odd, the video says it's published June 12 , the Day of the shooting, they didn't say the name of the shooter that early on on any tv station. I think they finally released the name the next day? how would he have known this early on?

[@paws3892]

Can someone delete the words 'You know . . . ' from wherever/whatever dictionary it is in . . .125 times the usage of 'You know' was used. I only point this out because the use of those words and the number of times it was used was excessive. I don't mean this to sound nasty but it was WOTT, obviously something this gentleman is unaware off. Can I make a brief point here in as much that there is a remarkable likeness or similarity between this gentleman and the person who committed these atrocities . . .

[@emptyclaw1265448]

who knows maybe it is the character they created on TV and that's why they have him at a odd angle

Sounds like someone has something to hide

[@nicelady333]

"I SAID YEAH IM OK" OBVIOUSLY YOU ANSWERED YOU RF PHONE! i KNEW WHICH OMAR HE WAS TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I KNEW THE PLAN!!!!!!1 SAY YOU KNOW ONE MORE TIME,

[@mikegardens]

Obviously, this 'childhood friend' didn't know Omar Mateen and his father very well, or is just profoundly lacking in observational insights. The way he describes Omar Mateen, it's as if he's describing some other person.

[@ashtonmcmullen6799]

and you knew Omar personally as a child? lmao, dude.

[@mikegardens]

+Ashton McMullen Yes, I did. He seemed very normal. His father was a quiet man. We had sleep overs. He was odd, but not really... Nothing sticks out in all the years I knew him, so there you have it.

[@dman030]

very tight lipped......like hes afraid to say anything negative

[@silentfades]

got to wonder how much this guy was paid for this interview ?

[@yendang5403]

The killer's friends and family members keep saying that they have no clues about his violence behaviors and they are surprised by his behaviors, but people don't just wake up one morning and become insanely violent out of the blue. There must have been clues along the way, but people close to him probably ignored them and were in denial. Just like people don't just wake up one morning and become a full blown alcoholic or a drug addict out of the blue. Usually there were clues along the way that they would slowly become an alcoholic or a drug addict. These kind of extreme behaviors usually build up slowly over time. You just don't become extremely violent overnight.

[@chedrickg]

When told that the shooter was his friend, his first response was but doesn't he live in St. Louis? That would've have been my first response. Sounds like he wasn't too shocked.

[@johnshaw8228]

That was one attack in Orlando they could not cover up for their rich criminal associates,

[@andersonbrown5507]

He couldn't explain why he described Mateen as definetly odd. But he wrote it on the Internet. and he is in medical school so he has a certain amount of intelligence that supersedes basic explanation. His whole career will be explaining shit. This guy is what I call a "Snake".

[@DeedeesJourney]

whys this audio sooooo shitty? sounds like sprinklers keep going on. why spend so much time learning about this pos and his history giving him MORE recognition for the atrocity he committed? A better choice would have been to speak with the victims or their family members and idk perhaps honor the souls lost or give recognition to the patrons, police and medical personnel whom saved lives during and after this?!

My grandmother came here in late 1800's to escape religious persecution in England. She did not like everything she found here, but she was commited to being a member of our ideal.If people want to come here, we accept all, but they must accept our laws! Why did the shooter's father spew hate?

[@lawishakka7371]

listen I think u should get the point that he is not a very religious muslim and about islam what he did is all made up !!

[@72Yonatan]

d wiley = Timothy McVeigh was a CIA zombie, and there are plenty of videos out there on the subject, so you are under informed, Mr. D. Wiley. As for comparing Christians with Muslims, I am in neither category and I only have full trust in people that I know personally of either of these two faiths. But it is obvious that although christian missionaries are devious and fraudulent in their attempts to snatch away Jewish souls, Muslim hard core believers merely hate me and want to kill me. So which do I trust more? Neither one, that is your answer. As for the Orlando shooting, if you do not know that the killer was motivated by his Islamic ideology, then you are either brain dead or in deep denial. Take your preference.

[@emmatai88]

Well addressed! My prayers go out to the Victims and their families, I agree its hard when you know someone and they turn into a person you don't know. It's sad that these sick shooters who claim they are religious fanatics use religion as an excuse to violently lash out on innocent people:(

Omar Mateen lived about 10 miles from me. Coincidentally, he was in Saudi when I was there. He might have been at KSUPY when I taught there. If he was the man from Port Saint Lucie my friend told me about, it was Omar Mateen. There was a discussion on the subject of homosexuality. It seems I remember somebody saying to shoot them. Who would have thought? I was on an anti-stalking forum with Gavin Eugene Long (Cosmo). I met Timothy McVeigh in Stuart, Florida. He spoke openly to me about building a fertilizer bomb. He insisted they were going to attack government. There was another man with him. He did NOT say anything about Oklahoma, though it is possible I might have. Does anyone know who had the license plate 14911F Oklahoma in 1993? I met Mehmet Ali Agca in Frankfurt, Germany. I survived one of two terrorist events that killed 104 people and injured 270 in western Europe. This surviving after six months of explicit threats from two people in in US Army. I met President Jimmy Carter and Secretary of State Musky at the release of the American hostages from Iran. I was at the British embassy in Sana'a, Yemen the morning militants tried to assassinate the British deputy ambassador. Snipers murdered about 50 people and injured about 250-300 near our school in Sana'a. In Saudi I had to dodge terrorists to keep from being run down in the streets, so I could stay there and make good money. In Kuwait at the Ministry of Defense Language School, we had 25 teachers. Two were killed in traffic wrecks. 7 to 10 others were in wrecks of varying degrees of severity. We took more hits than some platoons in Iraq and Afghanistan. I had known in detail about the attacks of 9-11 since 1997. Over 4 years I had told about 125 people. There is more. But you do get the point. I was out there in the middle of it, so of course, nobody wanted to interview me or talk to me. They were too hypnotized by their celluloid icons , play actors, and paid political liars to be concerned with anything like the truth. Osama and al-Quaeda were on a mission. That mission was a success. Millions worldwide celebrated that success.

Now all you need to do is write the truth about cannabis and I'll start watching and sharing your stuff again.

so your friends, always together spending the night but can't say shit about him as a kid, he's odd but can't say how, knows all the facts of him as an adult?!? weird

[@littlemisssunshine3133]

i think there was a lot more that he was not saying... it really didn't sit right with me either how "normal" he was trying to portray the realtionship. not to assume anything it could be that they may have had some sexual encounters as children. nothing of course to the extreme but maybe just incidents out of curiosity. especially finding out that the shooter was to homosexual. i just feel if it did happen, this guy wouldn't want to mention it. whether or not he was mutually interested in the encounters or not. once again though, im not assuming he is homosexual too, but that it could very well be a possibility. I just think he should have elaborated on how he was as a child especially because he had a lot more to say as he was grown. just doesn't make too much since from an outsiders view.

[@S.D.R_747]

Religion is a cultural system of behaviors and practices, world views, sacred texts, holy places, ethics, and societal organisation that relate humanity to what an anthropologist has called "an order of existence".[1] Different religions may or may not contain various elements, ranging from the "divine",[2] "sacred things",[3] "faith",[4] a "supernatural being or supernatural beings"[5] or "...some sort of ultimacy and transcendence that will provide norms and power for the rest of life."Religious practices may include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration (of God or deities), sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trances, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public service, or other aspects of human culture. Religions have sacred histories and narratives, which may be preserved in sacred scriptures, and symbols and holy places, that aim mostly to give a meaning to life. Religions may contain symbolic stories, which are sometimes said by followers to be true, that have the side purpose of explaining the origin of life, the Universe, and other things. Traditionally, faith, in addition to reason, has been considered a source of religious beliefs........ Weak , illiterate, misguided men use religion to cause havoc on our society (sometimes for their own personal agenda) .....Man cause Wars, hate and greed ...if we live by what we preach there will be more LOVE PEACE & FORGIVENESS .

Can you say, "Taqiyah"?

[@user-cy8ru5dr9y]

I'm laughing... I've heard this -- Zionists and right wing nut jobs who want to spread the vilification of Muslims use this sht.. (I beg you.. nothing from Shoebat please.. the guys a hack..'check wiki') They say 'taqiyyah' is what muslims USE to lie about Islam right?? I'm not 100% whether this is a pure lie or just confusion.. i say this because.. A 'taqiyyah' is a rounded pillow... Muslims use taqqiyyah's to 'LIE ON' NOT lie with?!?! Let me help you Islam 'Haters' YOU are being conned.. everything you here about Muslims is ONLY misdirection... what you here..all these AWFUL things about Islam?? they are true but not true of Islam Let me help you 'Idiots' a little further... if you had gone to school..there is something called 'Research'.... you guys don't gain knowledge from research.. you THINK you do..but you are ONLY being drop fed what to beleive and what to think.. Try to look for yourselves.. do some searches and when you see some awful new's on Muslims.. 'check the source'.. see if that source is or is not legitimate its kinda simple people...

[@AxenFrite]

Zaheer Aslam Haha, now _that_ was some creative Taqiyah! Taqiya (طاقية taqiyyah/taqīyah, literally "fear, caution")[1] is a form of Islamic dissimulation or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny their faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution.[2] This practice is emphasized in Shia Islam whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion.[3][4] However, it is also permitted in Sunni Islam under certain circumstances.[5][6] Taqiyya was initially practiced under duress by some of Muhammad's Companions.[7] Later, it became particularly important for Shias due to their experience as a persecuted religious minority.[4][8] According to Shia doctrine, taqiyya is permissible in situations where there is overwhelming danger of loss of life or property and where no danger to religion would occur thereby.[4] Taqiyya has also been politically legitimised, particularly among Twelver Shias, in order to maintain unity among Muslims and fraternity among the Shia clerics.[9][10] Yarden Mariuma writes: "Taqiyya is an Islamic juridical term whose shifting meaning relates to when a Muslim is allowed, under Sharia law, to lie. A concept whose meaning has varied significantly among Islamic sects, scholars, countries, and political regimes, it nevertheless is one of the key terms used by recent anti-Muslim polemicists."[11] I'm beginning to wonder if a Muslim is even _capable_ of telling the truth to people who have the good sense not to believe in your nonsensical ideology.

[@AxenFrite]

Paolo Rossi Muslims need taqiyah. When the U.S. government does it, it's just called plain old "lying" or "propaganda". But it is not considered to be a "holy" act sanctioned by an imaginary "god", when a secular government does it. When we catch the government lying to U.S. citizens, we consider that to be bad. When a Muslim catches a fellow _Muslim_ lying to "Kafir", they consider that to be acceptable.

Paolo Rossi I'm not brainwashed, I was the one that brought up the lies of the U.S. government. When the evil liars who are globalist control freaks, lie, it bugs me. That doesn't means it doesn't bug me when the evil liars who are _religiously_ motivated, lie. It means, _all_ evil lying control freaks, bug me.

If i swallowed everything i watched id buy into this bullshit..... I gave the theory a chance but when i hear people talk about no bodies and their reasoning for headimg back "towards the club" thats where they lose me....first off my sister in law's brother was the first named victim in pulse Eddie Sotomayor Jr....... Secondly victims are actors? Well theyve shown 2 or 3 ties to the over 300 people in attendance to Pulse that night to have been "actors"..... Which im surprised its not more seeing as Orlando is a well known spot for actors to live and be just like if you were to go to Hollywood ca. You find actors everywhere. Allllso. In ORLANDO unlike this idiot says in the video there are alot of one way streets..... So if they drove or went by pulse again it doesnt mean shit. So i get my intel from experience.....but your so brainwashed you wont even do simple google searches to try and find out if what your supporting is true or not.....ill bet whatever line of work you do is something that doesnt require any form of education to do.....am i correct? I also bet you are so stupidly hardheaded that even when faced with facts you will diapute them because intelligent people have issues witg admitting they are wrong
