There's a pretty large discussion taking place on this topic in Skyscraperpage's current events section. It provides some perspective from how the rest of the country is reacting to the mass shooting. However, you have to be a member to view that section of the discussion board. Anyway, the Adkins guy isn't alone in saying some silly things about a tragedy.

Pastor Applauds Shooting Hours After Orlando Massacre

SACRAMENTO, Calif.  -- A few short hours after 49 people were gunned down at a gay club in Orlando, Florida, Pastor Roger Jimenez delivered his sermon from his Sacramento pulpit.

"Hey, are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today? No ... I think that's great. I think that helps society.  I think Orlando, Florida's a little safer tonight," he said to the crowd of believers in front of him.

A link on his church's Facebook page, Verity Baptist Church,  directed viewers to the sermon on YouTube.

"It is unnatural for a man to be attracted to another man," he said as he preached for more than an hour.

"The tragedy is that more of them didn't die," he said.

I would like to be the fly on the wall in Pat Robertson's house? In the past he has come out with some real stupid things after shootings like this. Listen to the republicans a lot say Americans were killed not LGBT Americans. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/06/15/utah-lawmaker-offers-apology-lbgt-community/85958432/

This is just so low .... what a vile mind does someone need to have to make such a statement (and / or think that way)...leaves me speechless.

It's interesting .. almost amazing ...  that in these modern times ... when knowledge and science is all about us, society must experience such an impact of material written many centuries ago, written when ignorance reigned with great power over so little knowledge. 

There may never come a time when these believers finally let go of the strict interpretation of what was written centuries ago, followed with several translations.  Both  Muslims and Christians endure the consequences of the differing interpretations ... some still believing that the material was actually conveyed by one of the prophets or gods of the past. 

The power of religious based belief is stunning ... is quite powerful upon the individual and society .... the predicament being that the essence of it cannot be refuted nor proven to be true.  Unfortunately, to the detriment of society, lives and behavior swayed by substantial ignorance endures, resulting too often in the terrible consequences borne of that ignorance. 

Perhaps one day we will come to the realization that some of these preachers must be prosecuted for some of the terrible consequences of their idiotic teachings, proclamations, and directives regarding belief and behavior. May one of the gods help us.

"The Power of religious based belief is stunning." To you an atheist why do you care and talk so much about God? Are you having second thoughts of becoming human a christian. When you stand before God he will be the only one judging you. There is still time for your soul and heart to be filled with true love. In Jesus name Amen.

Looks like you were right:
http://gawker.com/orlando-shooter-was-reportedly-a-regular-at-pulse-and-h-1781920316

But then, maybe not:

The New York Times, citing law enforcement officials, is reporting that the FBI. is "increasingly skeptical" of the widely-reported notion that Orlando gunman Omar Mateen was a gay man driven by self-loathing to kill other people like him.

The inquiry is in early stages but investigators apparently have come to suspect that reports by patrons of Pulse nightclub that Mateen had been visiting gay clubs or that he had used gay dating apps are either false or a case of mistaken identity. Mateen's wife, Noor Zahi Salman, accompanied the killer to Pulse before he stormed it in order to determine its vulnerabilities to an attack but he did not necessarily spend time there regularly.

Keep telling yourself that ... The gay community got everything it deserved at Pulse on account they predominantly vote in national elections based on social issues instead of national issues. Hopefully this wakes more gay people up that not being massacred is more important than wedding cakes

Please stop it

Trolling is one thing, but statements like these are disturbing.
