We’ve already seen evidence that Orlando shooter Omar Mateen was a regular at Pulse nightclub, and at least one patron saying he was there not to case the joint but to pick up men. Now a man who claims to have had a “friends with benefits” arrangement with Mateen says the killer acted not out of religious motives but revenge. Univision reports:
The man, who did not want his true identity revealed, agreed to an interview wearing a disguise and calling himself Miguel. Speaking in fluent Spanish and accented English, he said he met Mateen last year through a gay dating site and began a relationship soon after. He and Mateen were “friends with benefits,” he said.
He described Mateen as “a very sweet guy” who never showed a violent side. He loved to be cuddled. “He was looking for love,” he said.
It’s a little difficult to picture the mass shooter who had a violent streak going back to elementary school as someone who just loved to cuddle. The fact that “Miguel” is using a disguise and a fake name to tell this story doesn’t help his credibility. That said, Miguel claims there was a very specific incident that set Mateen off, a sexual encounter with two men, one of whom turned out to be HIV positive:
Mateen was especially upset after a sexual encounter with two Puerto Rican men, one of whom later revealed he was HIV positive, he added.
“He [Omar] was terrified that he was infected,” he said. “I asked him, ‘Did you do a test?’ Yes. He went to the pharmacy and did the test … it came out negative but it doesn’t come out right away. It takes 4, 5 months.”
Is it possible to verify this story? In theory there are at least two men could come forward to confirm it.
