Yup, they're all over the FB newsfeed for me, and it's about a day now but I'm still very emotional.
We need to stop the hate and intolerance from going on otherwise... more incidents like this will continue to happens.
It really pisses me off that we have some nutjobs applauding the shooter for killing more than 50 LGBTQ people and saying that it's a 'punishment from God because homosexuality is wrong" and so on.

49 dead, they accidentally counted the asshole as a deceased.
