"And it wasn't<br />at times. It was all the time. He had anger management issues.<br />Something would set him off, but the things that would set him<br />off were always women, race or religion. [Those were] his<br />button pushers."<br /><br />Working with Mateen was so difficult that Gilroy said he requested<br />a transfer.<br /><br /> "I needed to be out of that situation," he said. "I described it<br />as being toxic."<br /><br />Mateen "always referred to every other race, religion, gender in a<br />derogatory way," Gilroy added. "He did not like black people at all.<br />That was mentioned once or twice, but more so was women. He did<br />not like women at all. He did like women in a sexual way, but<br />he did not respect them."<br /><br />His father told NBC News that his son was affected by a recent<br />incident involving two men showing each other affection.<br /><br />"We were in downtown Miami, Bayside, people were playing music.<br />And he saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid,<br />and he got very angry," Mateen's father, Seddique Mir Mateen, said<br />Sunday. "They were kissing each other and touching each other,<br />and he said: 'Look at that. In front of my son, they are doing that.'<br />And then we were in the men's bathroom, and men were kissing<br />each other.". . .<br /><br />He added: "This had nothing to do with religion."<br /><br />Driving the point home that religion **was** a consideration in the<br />mind of investigators, officials brought a member of the Muslim community<br />to speak at a news conference. <br />====<br /><br /><br />Apart from the awkwardness of being a Muslim, Mr. Mateen sounds like<br />the prototypical Donald Trump supporter.<br />jimfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975754342950063440noreply@blogger.com
