So will the world now stand in support of San Bernardino like they did with Paris? Or will they just keep pointing and laughing at the stupid American and their gun laws?

Couldnt a terrorist easily plot these things out for basically anywhere? Like a mall or any venue that that is going to hold a lot of people at one time. I know security is a little amped up but really nothing that could stop the spraying of bullets for a couple of minutes.

 

I think the fact this was a holiday/Christmas party is what is being overlooked here.

 

The workplace grievance line would work if he was appalled by the overly Christian representation at this party.

Not that this excuses anyone, but why aren't cops blocking entrance to a crime scene?

It has been officially ruled an act of terrorism it doesnt seem like anyone outside of the US really seems to care.

To be honest it doesnt seem like many even care here in the US. What is up with that? I guess its a good thing because fear isnt spreading?

Mass shooting fatigue.

Seriously. It just doesn't have the same effect after a while.

 

I think if it were to have happened in a more recognizable place maybe it would have made more of an impact.

It happens way too often, everyone is use to it unfortunately

I think 14 v 140 or whatever (with multiple, coordinated attacks) also bumps up the level of response.

Paris has also been the center of Western culture for centuries, somewhere everyone around the world knows about. Tons of literature set there, movies etc.

Or maybe if it was some redneck, teabag, NRA members instead a few Muslims with possible terrorist links it would get more play. Although the anti gun groups don't seem to care, they dance in blood spilled by anyone...

So true. Life is so hard for that group. So persecuted.

Yeah well San Bernardino has like, 2 Subways, man.

Nobody ever talks about Islamic terrorism. You have to go to the darknet to even find anyone brave enough to talk about Paris.

There's actually a link between Paris and San Bernardino! An Eagles of Death Metal concert was attacked in Paris, and they just happen to have a song about San Bernardino.

Don't be silly, what happened in Colorado is the exact scenario you are referring to.

It's kind of sad we are becoming more and more numb to these types of tragedies. It's just business as usual until it will hit close to home.

Great post. Let's face it. Americans on the whole are OK with these shootings as a tradeoff for the right to have guns and lots of 'em to protect our nation if somebody invades. People want guns thinking it will stop the bad guys if we get invaded. Of course there are the wackos (IMO) who just want guns to shoot animals, etc., and they are a vocal group, but mainly Americans are OK with these killings as a tradeoff for protection. Like you said, very sad. I personally am horrified and believe we are not safe anywhere. I go to church tonight. I am prepared to go tackle any wacko who looks like they are about to start a spree. We all must be ready.

Nyt blew another big story. According to the FBI there was no jihadi Facebook presence for the wife. Same reporters that blew the "Hillary Clinton under criminal investigation for classified emails" story this summer.
