An American preacher has said that he is ‘not sad’ that gay people were killed in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, saying, ‘The tragedy is that more of them didn’t die.’

Other extremist Christian groups such as Westboro Baptist Church have spoken out to say that the patrons of the Pulse nightclub would be ‘in Hell’ after the killings.

The group said, ‘God hates fags. God sent the shooter. God hates murderer Omar Mateen. Omar Mateen & slain fags are in hell.’

Pastor Roger Jimenez from Verity Baptist Church caused revulsion around America with a televised rant which said, ‘Are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today? Um no. I think that’s great. I think that helps society. I think Orlando, Florida, is a little safer tonight.



‘The tragedy is that more of them didn’t die. The tragedy is I’m kind of upset he didn’t finish the job – because these people are predators. They are abusers.’

‘I wish the government would round them all up, put them up against a firing wall, put the firing squad in front of them and blow their brains out.’
