Orlando was paralyzed for 3 hours after the shooting incident happened. The Ft. Hood massacre and the Orlando shooting both occurred within 24 hours of each other – Nidal Malik Hasan and Jason Rodiguez (both allegedly) went on their deadly sprees in such close proximity. Of course, neither had anything to do with the other, but that’s pretty creepy when you think about it. Thankfully, both are in custody – Rodriguez was peacefully arrested hours after he killed one and wounded five, and Hasan is in the hospital after being shot four times. The officer, Kimberly Munley, deserves high praise for her bravery despite being wounded, and doubtless saved more lives. The President attended services for the Ft. Hood massacre victims – I’d give money now to have them both strung up.
