First of all I’m sorry for the deaths of the 14 people and feel for their families. Secondly, could Obama wait more than 10 minutes before using the tragedy to further his gun confiscation mission? Thirdly, when the shooters were a couple with names like Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, who recently traveled to Saudi Arabia, does anyone with a functioning brain actually believe this was really a workplace dispute? Another story said the dude was an extremely religious Muslim. They sure look assimilated.
Let’s call a spade a spade. These two planned and executed a mass murder of non-Muslims. It was Islamic terrorism based upon their religious teachings. When will Obama go in front of the nation and declare that fact. NEVER.
Instead, Obama and his liberal minions, the captured MSM, and the control freaks who despise the U.S. Constitution will continue to harp on the number of shooting deaths and the cause being guns. They never talk about the true reasons – mental illness, psychotropic drugs, urban ghettos created by welfare policies of the last 50 years, and now Islamic hatred for the American culture.
You won’t see these facts on MSNBC or CNN:
The hand ringing by Obama and the libs is based on a false storyline. As the number of guns in the country has risen over the last two decades, the number of homicide by guns has plunged by 40%. The number of homicides by guns is virtually the same as it was in 1976. The population of the country was 218 million in 1976 and it is 322 million today. Therefore, the per capita homicides by gun is DOWN 38% since 1976. The country is far safer with more guns. Obama and his minions should concentrate on Chicago, Detroit, Philly and the rest of the Democratically controlled urban kill zones.
Now for the poll. Was the shooting yesterday Islamic terrorism or just a workplace dispute?
Couple’s motive in California rampage a mystery for police, family
A man and woman armed with assault-style rifles opened fire on a holiday party of his co-workers in Southern California, killing 14 people and wounding 17 others, and then were slain hours later in a shootout with police, authorities said.
The two suspects were identified as Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, who San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said were in a relationship, possibly married or engaged. He said they were believed to be the only shooters involved in an attack that required some degree of planning.
While the motive remained unclear, Burguan said, “We have not ruled out terrorism.”
Farook was U.S. born, while Malik’s nationality was still undetermined. They were parents of a six-month-old baby girl.
Farook’s family and co-workers struggled to make sense of the shooting, the deadliest in the United States in three years. His brother-in-law went before television cameras and said he had “absolutely no idea” why Farook would stage a massacre.
According to the police chief, Farook was a county public health employee who attended the party, held in a conference building on the campus of the Inland Regional Center – a social services agency – and at some point stormed out. He returned with Malik to open fire on the celebration. The couple were dressed in assault-style clothing and also placed several bombs at the scene, which police detonated.
The shooting rampage marked the deadliest U.S. gun violence since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012, in which 27 people, including the gunman, were killed.
Wednesday’s carnage amplified concerns about gun violence and security after deadly assaults at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs last week and the attacks in Paris three weeks ago by Islamic State militants that killed 130 people.
So far in 2015, the United States has seen more than 350 shootings in which four or more people were wounded or killed, according to the crowd-sourced website shootingtracker.com, which keeps a running tally of U.S. gun violence.
The attack in San Bernardino, a largely working-class city 60 miles (100 km) east of Los Angeles, appeared to differ from other recent U.S. killing sprees in several ways, including the involvement of two people rather than a lone perpetrator.
A third person seen fleeing from the area of the shootout with the suspects was detained, but Burguan said he was not sure if that person was involved in the attack.
David Bowdich, an assistant regional FBI director, said earlier in the day that authorities had not yet determined whether the shooting was an act of terrorism.
“It is a possibility, but we don’t know that,” he told reporters. “It’s possible it goes down that road. It’s possible it does not.”
‘WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?’
At a news conference called by the Los Angeles area chapter of the Muslim advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the brother-in-law of Farook, Farhan Khan, said he was bewildered by the news.
“Why would he do that? Why would he do something like this? I have absolutely no idea. I am in shock myself,” Khan said at the news conference in Anaheim, California, south of Los Angeles.
Co-workers told the Los Angeles Times they were surprised to hear Farook’s name linked to the shootings since he was quiet and polite and did not bear any obvious grudges. They also said he had traveled to Saudi Arabia and returned with his new wife whom he had met online.
Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR in the Los Angeles area, appealed to the public not to jump to conclusions about the suspects’ motives.
“Is it work? Is it rage-related? Is it mental illness? Is it extreme ideology?” he said. “We just don’t know.”
The manhunt initially led police to a home in the neighboring town of Redlands. Police then pursued a suspected getaway vehicle that was seen leaving that address back to San Bernardino, where the shootout occurred.
Ayloush told Reuters the couple left their six-month-old-baby with Farook’s mother at that Redlands home early on Wednesday morning and told her they were going to attend a doctor’s appointment for Malik, whom he called Farook’s wife of two years.
Twelve hours after the attack, the identities of the dead had still not been made public as investigators delayed examining the crime scene because of the explosives left there, Burguan said.
Two adult victims of the shooting were in critical but stable condition at Loma Linda University Medical Center, which said in a statement that it had received five patients hurt in the attack. The conditions of patients taken to other medical facilities was not immediately known.
The shooting and ensuing manhunt practically paralyzed San Bernardino, a city of 220,000 that was hard hit by the housing foreclosure crisis and later declared bankruptcy. Dozens of schools, public offices and hospitals were placed on security alert for hours.
President Barack Obama lamented an epidemic of gun violence that he said “has no parallel anywhere else in the world.”
And he repeated his call for Congress to pass “common sense gun safety laws,” including tougher background checks for firearm sales.

Trump poll numbers are soaring today. Why even bother with a primary?
I had a work function at 3:00 pm yesterday and then drove home. I never logged back onto my computer the rest of the day, and just watched the San Bernadino Show on TV.
I went into email this morning and saw these two emails from Gayle at 3:30:
Hi Jim
I have the day off from home school today and am substituting at a high school in San Bernardino. We are presently in the middle of this. The kids have all stopped working and we are totally focused. Fortunately we are about 4 miles away from this. One kid has a police scanner on his phone so we have it on speaker.
I was wondering why I got a strange call from the office a while ago wondering if I was going to remain here for the day.
Now I am in a locked-down school. I should have told the secretary I wanted to go home.
This will just be considered workplace violence like that of the FT. Hood shooter.
I’m sure we’ll be treated to endless verbal diarrhea by Nancy Pelosi and Babara Boxer for the next two weeks.

Statistics show you still have a better chance of being killed by LEO than terrorists.
In the last 22 years I have had interactions with police 3 times, hit 2 deer, and have never seen a terrorist.
Now which one are we spending 2 trillion dollars on?
‘Devout’ Muslim US citizen and his wife are identified as heavily- armed suspects who burst into his office holiday party and killed at least 14 people. Two suspects were killed by police in San Bernardino after a mass shooting at a conference center today
Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, were killed in a gun battle with police after the mass shooting

The neighbor said she saw 3 or 4 men at the perp’s house receiving a lot of packages and working late at night in the garage.
So it seems there is at least one more male probably involved and it could be the guy that is in custody.
“Now for the poll. Was the shooting yesterday Islamic terrorism or just a workplace dispute?”
I’m waiting for obama to tell me, I’m positive he will not be able to use the word terrorism in this instance but continue his agenda to the end. Just wonder what that end is going to be?
Muslims are imploring the rest of us not to condemn the rest of the Muslims because of the actions of a few.
Ah, but isn’t that what the rest of us law abiding gun owners have been saying after each madman, and now madwoman, shoot up a place?
There was obviously planning for a later attack, but something triggered the immediate attack at the meeting/function. Could be that some said Moooohammed was a pedophile or Jesus Christ was the only……
As far as CAIR expressing their condolences and sorry that it happened….BS, the Islamofascists learn that to lie in service to Allah is A-OK.
The next step is coordinated terrorist attacks..coming to a neighborhood near you! The evil one in DC has one more year to confiscate our lawfully owned property. Should be an interesting one.
This am I’m reading that this Muslim attacker’s neighbors were noticing suspicious activity by Farook and his companions with ME men coming and going in a suspicious manner.
At least one of them admits he didn’t report it -one admits, probably all are the same- because of fear of being called a racist and such.
So, in the end, PC is what should be blamed for this incident, but it will be guns that the MSM and PTB blame it on.
Maybe that “If you see something, say something” stuff the government puts out needs to have an addendum added to it saying “But only if it is a White male dong it”.
LOl…a ” mystery” for the rotten Lamestream media propagandist media now, but last night I was all about white Christian terrorists and how prevent their further access to guns.

The Left Prays After San Bernardino Shooting, To Its God Of Government
The media mocked conservatives who prayed in aftermath of shooting, but many journalists showed they’re as religious as anyone.

Meet Syed Farook And Tashfeen Malik, The Husband And Wife San Bernardino Shooters
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2015 09:27 -0500
“Was there a link to terror?”
That’s the question Americans are asking themselves the morning after a husband and wife opened fire with assault rifles killing 14 and wounding 17 at a San Bernardino County employee holiday party.
The shooters, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, left their young child with Farook’s mother in nearby Redlands on Wednesday morning before dressing in “assault clothing,” and crashing the party (literally). A subsequent shootout with authorities left both suspects dead.
Here’s what we know about Farook and Malik so far.
Farook, whose family was originally from Pakistan, was born in America and was employed as an environmental health specialist for San Bernardino County. He did what health specialists do: inspect restaurants and other facilities for health violations.
Reuters was able to obtain some on-the-ground intelligence from a SusAnn Chapman, who’s described as “a cashier and waitress at China Doll Fast Food.” Apparently, Farook inspected the China Doll earlier this year. “He was real quiet,” Chapman said. “He checked the food and said he was here because somebody complained. … He looked completely normal.”
Ok, not helpful.
However, some clues as to what might (and we emphasize “might”) be going on here emerge when we take a closer look at Malik. According to Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations who, like SusAnn, spoke to Reuters, Malik “was believed to be from Pakistan and had lived in Saudi Arabia before coming to the United States.”
“Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia earlier this year and returned with a wife,” AP reports, citing co-worker Patrick Baccari, who said Farook “was gone for about a month in the spring, and when he returned word got around [he’d] had been married.” His new wife was described as “a pharmacist.”
Now clearly there are no smoking guns there, but it’s worth noting that when it comes to radicalization, no one does it quite like the Saudis. But as we read further, AP uncovers the smoking gun: “Several months ago Farook grew out his beard.” There you go – excessive beard action. The terrorist hallmark.
All sarcasm aside, AP goes on to say that according to coworkers, Farook was “a devout Muslim,” and according to a profile posted on the dating site iMilap, Farook enjoyed “reading religious books and target practice with younger sister and friends.”
A separate profile on Dubaimatrimonial.com (which describes itself as the “first and only legal marriage service provider in the UAE), shows Farook identifying himself as a Sunni:
Although we would urge caution when it comes to drawing conclusions around the sectarian divide, we’d be remiss if we didn’t note that ISIS, al-Qaeda, and many of the other groups the public generally identifies with extremism, are Sunni. Saudi Arabia (where Farook allegedly found his wife) promotes puritanical Wahhabism.
In the wake of the tragedy, Muzammil Siddiqi, religious director of The Islamic Society of Orange County, reminded Americans that Islam is not synonymous with terror: “Please do not implicate Islam or Muslims. Our faith is against this kind of behaviour.”
Here’s Patrick Baccari’s (quoted above) account of the shooting, again, via AP:
Baccari, who was sitting at the same table as Farook, said employees at the holiday party were taking a break before snapping group photos when Farook suddenly disappeared, leaving a jacket draped over his chair. Baccari stepped out to the bathroom when he heard explosions.
“I’m getting pelted by shrapnel coming through the walls,” he said. “We hit the ground.”
The shooting lasted about five minutes, he said, and when he looked in the mirror he realized he was bleeding. He was hit by fragments in the body, face and arms.
“If I hadn’t been in the bathroom, I’d probably be laying dead on the floor,” he said.
Clearly, quite a bit hinges on whether or not this gets tied to radical Islam. If authorities “prove” (or create) a link to extremists, the backlash against Syrian immigrants and against American Muslims more generally, will only grow.
Additionally, public support for American boots on Syrian ground will rise as any link to terrorist ideology will invariably be trotted out as “proof” that “lone wolf” or not, attacks have now crossed the pond to reach American soil.
Of course at the end of the day, two people opening fire with assault rifles on a holiday party seems pretty “terrifying” to us regardless of what inspired the shooters, but remember, crises like these are only “useful” in today’s world if they serve someone’s geopolitical ends so don’t be surprised if the mainstream media soon turns up the San Bernardino equivalent of the forged Syrian passport found in Paris three weeks ago.
I was excused from school at the regular dismissal time. Driving home towards Redlands I saw more police vehicles speeding to San Bernardino. This was about the time of the shootout.
Within 3 hours the investigation switched to my town, which was shocking. The home in question is about 8 blocks from my house, and I drive by it several times a week.
My daughter works at Loma Linda Medical a Center, where several victims were taken. She was also locked down for a time, then evacuated after a bomb threat was called in, so left for home.
I agree with I_S. This will officially be declared workplace violence, end of story.
Whose town will be next?
It’s been 16 hours since our leader spoke:
“We don’t yet know what the motives of the shooters are but what we do know is that there are steps we can take to make Americans safer,” Obama said in the interview. “We should never think that this is just something that just happens in the ordinary course of events because it doesn’t happen with the same frequency in other countries.”
Obama said the pattern of U.S. mass shootings “has no parallel anywhere else in the world.”
The Turkey and ISIS oil connection will be off the news now.
Mr. McNutless: “Eventually the bloodshed will abate.”
Only after the government comes to get you too, moron!
Someone may have said Merry Christmas, or perhaps the Jihadis figured out that a Christmas party would be a target rich environment.
Whatever the reason it was not work place violence, and Obama comes out for gun control within an hour, the thing is Obama claims he is not for confiscation, which is a lie, but for a nationwide laws similar to those in California because gun control laws do not apply to criminals, they just ignore them, that is what criminals do, but law abiding citizens obey the laws and it is the law abiding citizens who were the ones cowering under the desks, and in the closets while the Jihadis were calmly executing their victims.
Instead of calling this terrorism, why not call it what it is! Death by Islam. To the musloids, a massacre like this would be considered not only justified by the tenets of their fucked up religion, it’s an honorable and expected thing to do.
The IRA, the Red Brigades, the SLA and all the communist groups around the world have used terrorism as a tactic because they could not defeat their enemies in conventional warfare. This is different.
With the musloids, it’s part of their religion. The whole premise of their religion is violence and torture. Cutting off a female’s genitals so they can’t feel pleasure, stoning a woman to death for even a hint of what the musloids call adultery. Murdering anyone who will not submit to islam and enslaving the rest and so forth.
Every musloid is a ticking time bomb and should be treated as such. There are no innocents or bystanders in this war.
Media and politicians are already torturing logic to declare this a work place GUN incident.
Don’t know the motive? Mohammedans were doing this crap 10 centuries before the USA existed let alone intervened in ME. Obama was right about one thing, enough is enough.
I will personally do nothing to protect my grandchildren from the Mohammedans except write a few smartass comments on TBP. Nutless Bastard.
overthecliff,
Switzerland is having Muslim problems as well as everyone else in the western world, and they haven’t intervened anywhere.
Lysander.
“Every musloid is a ticking time bomb and should be treated as such. There are no innocents or bystanders in this war.”
But there are the armed and the unarmed (or disarmed).
Notice how no one shot back here (or in Paris) and how different the result was than it was in the attack in Garland where the Islamic attackers drew immediate return fire and ended up being the only ones killed?
Sleeper cells. Integrate into the community until it is time to go off. This was a thought out event, it wasn’t random. What was the motive or root cause? Randomly kill people. Are we to believe this Muslim rushed home from work and told his wife “put on your body armor honey and grab the guns and ammo, Ted at the office just pissed me off and now he must die”. Yes dear. I’m calling bullshit.
Yep, another white, male, job holding, net tax paying, contributing, NRA member, who is not obviously completely crazy just by looking at him, mass murderer.
“President Barack Obama lamented an epidemic of gun violence that he said “has no parallel anywhere else in the world.”
Seriously?
Syria
Iraq
Afghanistan
Somalia
Perhaps the president should start by stopping arms shipments to our enemies in these countries first…
Malik is not going to be happy in paradise – she will have to compete with 72 virgins for cock time
I note the media in typical fashion spewing forth language that disrupts any thoughtful analysis of these gruesome events, asking if “terrorism” was the motive. WTF does that even mean? Terrorism is a tactic justified in the minds of some by whatever extreme dehumanizing ideology they adhere to. It is not a motive. Needless to say, some Islamic groups have now adopted this tactic. It is hard to imagine a young couple with a six month old child committing such an act, but assuming they are the shooters, understanding their motive is important. If indeed it was some form of “Islam”, we need to understand why such a virulently insane belief system is gaining traction. Certainly, America’s illegal and unconstitutional wars have done more than anything to enrage Muslims and spur on these primitive brutal ideologies. Moreover, the ideology of our neocon masters in Washington, though less primitive is equally brutal. Drone strikes on wedding parties, bombing campaigns that kill thousands of civilians and destroy the means of survival of whole populations, how is this not terrorism? I am totally supportive of kicking the shit out of ISIS, unlike some our strategists in Washington who are more concerned with promoting Netanyahoo’s agenda in Syria, but I am more frightened of those white collar terrorists spawned by the privately funded think tanks that control US foreign policy. I don’t really understand their motivation any more than I can grasp that of the young couple in San Bernadino. Do they really want to rule the world? Are they devoted to the idea of a “Greater Israel”? Is it all about oil, diverting the nation’s wealth into the military Industrial complex, a combination of all these factors? I don’t know, but these sons of bitches aren’t making life any better in my home town, and they are the greatest threat to our national security ever. Terrorism is their bread and butter. One curious thing, pointed out by Paul Craig Roberts: Why has Israel remained relatively free of terrorist attacks and why are the victims always completely innocent civilians? Why are there so few attacks on those against whom Islamic anger might be understandably directed? Our old fashioned “terrorists” tended more to be assassins, like the guy who shot Archduke Ferdinand at the beginning of WW1. They went after their real enemies. Why are these jihadists so unconcerned about who they target? I digress. Thanks to Jim for some very interesting research on the gun issue.

It’s Islam stupid.
[img[/img]
If this happens two or three more times before the end of the year then the majority of America is going to conclude that this is coordinated islamic terrorism at work, regardless of whether it is the truth or not.
Overthecliff: If your comment was directed at me, I will remind you that Elizabeth I was a nutless bastard as well. I love what’s left of our Constitutional republic as she did for England.
I do what I can to promote what our Founding Fathers left us. I wear the political Scarlet Letter, do you?
There isn’t anything that can be done to stop these events from happening until such time as the present paradigm is overturned. It will not go willingly, so this is the cost that must be borne.
“Couple’s motive in California rampage a mystery for police, family”
hmmmmm,…. what could have made them do it?? hmmmmmmm…….. Did I remember to wipe my ass this morning?? hmmmmmmmm……..
Helpfully, the Inland Regional Center is a Gun Free Helpless Victim Zone.
When is Obama going to demand an end to Muslim violence?

Well at least no one is slandering the police …. for now.
The Federal government has exclusive authority and control (it claims) over immigration and immigration policy.
Fourteen+ California citizens were murdered by an Islamic native and his immigrant Islamic wife.
Why doesn’t California file a civil rights violation lawsuit against the Federal government to force changes in both immigration policy and procedure to prevent other known members of a terrorist group (Islamics) from being able to immigrate to California and kill more of their citizens?
(Yeah, it’s California and logic will arrive when Hell freezes over, but I thought I’d just say it …)

Shep Sides With Obama: Shootings Happen Here ‘More Than Anywhere Else in the World’
by J.D. Durkin | 5:19 pm, December 2nd, 2015
Fox News’ Shep Smith, who was tasked with covering the events of Wednesday’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California as they unfolded, presented a statement from President Barack Obama live on the air Wednesday. At the conclusion of the brief remarks, the veteran newsman agreed with the President’s line of thinking on the issue of gun death frequency, even addressing political rivals of Obama’s who have criticized his rhetoric after previous tragedies.
“President Obama called today for a bipartisan effort at every level of government to address mass shootings,” Smith began.
I’m waiting to see these REAL headlines somewhere:
“Gun Control Laws Prevent 14 Dead, 17 Wounded Victims From Defending Themselves”
“Muslim Conquest Entering 1,393rd Year, Politicians Still Unsure of Motive”
Sadly, they’ll never see print.
[img:large[/img]
once more..
[img[/img]
Somebody at that Christmas party probably lipped off about the prophet (piss be upon him), so the dude headed home, picked up a couple of AK’s, made a couple of pipe bombs, grabbed the wife, they put on their body armor & Go Pro cameras and went back and shot the place up. Yup. Workplace violence.
Workplace related my fat lumpy ass. He came home grabbed the old lady, they both dressed up in tactical gear, grabbed the guns and ammo, LEFT THEIR SIX MONTH OLD CHILD WITH MOM, and proceeded to drive to a venue where they knew there would be no resistance and killed 14 innocent people, knowing full well they may never see their SIX MONTH OLD CHILD again. All that over a workplace dispute. Give me a fucking break.
Regarding handgun murders: Whenever someone is apprehended for murder, it seems they have been convicted of a prior gun offense. Typically it’s (in MN terminology anyway) “prohibited person in possession of a firearm”. They’re only forbidden from possessing a firearm because of an initial felony (usually violent). So by the time of the arrest for murder, they typically have AT LEAST the following:
1) initial felony conviction (assault, robbery, etc.)
2) subsequent felony conviction for “prohibited person in possession”
3) arrest for murder
The period between #2 and #3 is often only 12-18 months even though state law calls for a 5 year minimum sentence. If there were a mandatory sentence of 5 years (or more) for being convicted of “prohibited person in possession”, the murder rate would drop because convicted felons couldn’t take the chance of being anywhere near a gun. This would cut the murder rate in Chicago, Philly, etc. by at least 25%. No liberal politician would agree to harsher penalties for “prohibited person in possession”, though, since it would disparately impact minorities. They’d rather have dead minorities, since they know how to work the grievance industry.
I’m going to say it’s BOTH workplace violence and Islamic extremists. And insanity, of course — the common thread between those two excuses.
Whoever posited that this guy “broke” early and shot up his workplace was correct. They’ve now found 12 pipe bombs, 2,000 9-mm rounds, 2,500 .223 rifle rounds and hundreds of tools in the San Bernardino shooters’ home. So, clearly planning something bigger, but there was early news yesterday that he’d been kicked out of his company’s holiday party — which makes me think he was discussing his radical ideas with co-workers and they asked him to leave. Instead of waiting to launch a larger attack, he got his wife and went back to kill the people who slighted him.
With any luck, this guy blowing a gasket early will mean that a worse terrorist attack has been averted. In all likelihood, they were going to shoot up a mall or other public place around the holidays.
The fact that more Americans are arming themselves and even officials (like Detroit’s police chief) are saying that it’s up to us to be a first line of defense in these situations shows that the tide is turning. Obama’s already a joke to a vast number of Americans; he’s well on his way to being remembered for his early 4T failures, as were Buchanan and Hoover. In just a matter of years, we’ll look back on this and wonder why we didn’t speak up earlier.
Especially those people who didn’t call police because they felt ‘racial profiling’ was wrong.
Keep in mind, the police have killed more people this year than have died in mass shootings
A couple of questions came to my mind within minutes of hearing about this yesterday afternoon:
1. Where were all of the armed “officials” in the building?
2. Where are all of the taxpayer-funded arms and equipment that it evidently is required by DHS et al to run any and all government agencies?
3. Did the beginnings of a Christmas party REALLY knock every damn person (read: government “officials”) off of basic, common sense protective awareness?
And in learning more, apparently this facility runs monthly “drills” that involve faux criminal actions. If these “drills” are never announced, how the hell can any employee know the difference between a drill and reality?
Or is that part of the intention??
