I was wondering this yesterday, if holiday/Christmas parties would now be canceled.

I am also wondering if employers will now be much more wary of hiring people who are known or at least suspected of being Muslim and/or Middle Eastern. I confess that if I were hiring, I don't think I would hire anyone of Middle Eastern heritage, as un-PC as that might be, if I could get away with that.

(One more instance of one very bad person spoiling things for many good ones.)

It seems to me that as it took place at a party for Farook and his co-workers, that that it is now being reported that there were were no Muslims involved in the attack other than Farook and his wife, and that, reportedly, Farook had exchanged angry words with a co-worker before leaving the party and then returned, that this just MIGHT have been a incident of workplace rage that escalated into a terrorist attack at the urging of his wife. I say this because Farook was born in the U.S., and his wife had just arrived from Saudi Arabia about two years ago.

However, at this point, I think that the motivation for the attack can only be guessed at.

P.S. to Wayland Woman -- Sorry that I did not read your post before I read yours because you basically said the same thing I did before I did.
Which is why he was so prepared.

Obama's credibility is zero already so he doesn't win. The people who were killed and injured and their families lose. Maybe Isis wins. The gun makers win. People will buy more guns now.
Obama better ramp up his climate change defense. As Obama said... "a Powerful Rebuke' to Terrorists".

I'm sure the pair of them are a pair of whack jobs. I doubt anything they ever said about themselves had anything to do with the truth. They attacked people at a Christmas party. People who work with disabled children. They, like all mass shooters have something in common. A complete lack of empathy for their victims. A complete disregard for human life. It isn't the guns that are at fault. It is the people. No guns? Fine make bombs. Bombs are not all that hard to make, but they are less personal. I think, I don't know, but I think, these kinds of people like that up close and personal aspect of the killing that a gun can give them. I also believe that in absence of a gun they would use bombs, knives, swords cars or any other destructive force they can.

Bad people spoil things for innocent people all the time. It's life. They are not happy unless they are making other people miserable, fighting about something, killing, robbing and on and on.

Instant headlines from the Planned Parenthood shooting:
"Crazy right-wing Christian pro-lifer terrorist slaughters people at Planned Parenthood"

San Bernadino shooting:
"Let's wait until all the facts come out."

Say the fudging truth for once they think we are babies. Saying in the beginning 3 white male what the heckl was that all about anyways.


By the way I want to say, that tonight's news is stating 2 suspects, changing from the fact 3 was stated on multiple news outlets during the day today. So that would make you right and me wrong, but telling you what I had heard, tonight saying 2 suspects no mention of a 3rd.


Two different news stations stated they have not ruled out terrorism, who knows what the rest will say. Shall be interesting. The brother in law of the young Man seems very distraught. What is distraught to me, is that now this 6 mo old baby does not have parents so sad. This much hatred


Gun laws would not stop this from happening when you have got it in you to do this much damage, you do it, with or without a gun law.


Killers do not care about gun laws.
LE spokesperson was consistent as the day unfolded. They said up to three suspects. Obviously they had reasonable cause to believe that the accuracy of early information was questionable. Some media chose to run with 3 suspects.

Back when Sandy Hook first broke, media reported there were 2 shooters, likely related. . LE was in NJ looking for the second shooter.

The shooter's brother lived in NJ and was presumed to be involved. Reality was the brother was at work, verified by his coworkers. while the shooting occurred at the school.

Early reports tend to almost always contain erroneous information based on hearsay and speculation.

The double standard is so glaringly obvious it is disgusting.

People like you ARE the problem and you are worthy of being dismissed, nothing more. Put your faith in the system and obambo. Yeah, that's the ticket. Oh, and watch out where you shop in the next few weeks, malls are soft targets too.
Right on point!

And, obuma and friends calling for gun control is asinine! We do not need gun control, it's there already.

Why not call for pipe control since pipe bombs were also involved? The terrorists house was a bomb factory.

The neighbor was afraid to call the police because of the suspicious activity at the house. The neighbor was afraid she would be ridiculed because she was racial profiling.

Neither guns or pipes are the problem, The problem lies with the people using the guns and pipes!! We need people control.
