Mateen Was Full Of Hate And Anger
The 29-year-old security guard Omar T Mir Seddique Mateen, who killed 50 and injured 53 young people of the LGBT community in a shootout inside the crowded Pulse gay bar in Orlando, US, with an AR-15 type assault rifle and handgun over the weekend, is described by American President Barack Obama as "a person filled with hate". Mateen is being described as "racist, belligerent and toxic". See any photograph of Mateen and these images do not come to the fore. He looks calm, a family man, a professional in uniform, a boy busy clicking selfies. Why then did he perpetrate the worst mass shooting in the history of the United States? Mateen experienced anger. He was challenged by the Orlando police and was killed in the crossfire. Anger is generated in the limbic centre of the brain which house for emotional memories. Anger is a natural response to one who feels he is being attacked, deceived, pressurised or treated unfairly But anger is not always a 'bad' emotion. At times anger can help identify problems or things that are hurting us; motivate us to create change and help defend ourselves in dangerous situations by giving us a burst of energy This happened to Mateen who made a call to 911 claiming to have links with Islamic State (IS) before being felled.

One obvious sign that anger has turned sin is when, instead of attacking the problem at hand, we attack the wrongdoer. Anger becomes sin when it is allowed to boil over without restraint, resulting in a scenario in which hurt is multiplied (Proverbs 29:11), leaving devastation in its wake.
