Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.
Patrick's tweet, now removed.
screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNETAt least 50 people are dead, murdered in an act of what police describe as "domestic terrorism."
It happened during the early hours of Sunday at Pulse, an LGBT bar and club in Orlando, Florida.
Many have taken to social media to express their horror. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio took to Twitter to appeal for blood donors in central Florida.
One politician, however, offered a different message.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick tweeted this a few hours after the massacre: "Do not be deceived. God caot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
This verse from the Bible -- Galatians 6:7 -- may have its appropriate context.
Many on Twitter, however, took it as an affirmation of Patrick's anti-LGBT stance. He is against gay marriage. He's been described by Josh Eaest, the president's press secretary, as "a right-wing radio host elected to public state office."
Reaction to Patrick's tweet -- posted at 4 a.m. PT on Sunday -- was swift.
"Tweeted as new [sic] breaks of mass casualties at a gay nightclub. Vile. Have you no shame?" tweeted one commenter.
"Try being a human being for once in your life," tweeted another.
Patrick didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. However, just after 9 a.m. PT the tweet was deleted.
A tweet sent 30 minutes after that one was still live. It quotes another Bible verse: "The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; He is their stronghold in times of trouble." Patrick captioned it with: "Have a blessed Sunday!"
At least 50 people are dead. There is nothing blessed about that.
