All the more reason not to label the guy a radical Islamic. Not the best analogy, but it's kinda like when idiot fans run onto the field, floor, etc. at major sporting events. For about the last 10 years the networks have made the decision to no longer show them on camera.
Minimize the spotlight on these loonies as much as possible. Now if it's proven that this dude was following direct orders from ISIS that's a different story. For now, he's just a nut case.

Salma Abdelaziz, who translated the message and closely monitors ISIS messaging, cautioned about taking the message at face value.
She said the language is inconsistent with previous ISIS announcements and that the Arabic word for gay was used rather than an epithet normally used by ISIS. Also, there was no claim that the attack was directed, just an after-the-fact claim the gunman was an ISIS fighter, she said.
