San Bernardino terrorists wore GoPro cameras
Fox News reports that the San Bernardino terrorists wore GoPro cameras.
Earlier this week, in a New York Times article about the Paris terrorist attacks it was mentioned that GoPro cameras are “a favored tool for recording atrocities.”
This attack has all of the hallmarks of Islamic terrorism [or more accurately jihadism].

What this means in this particular case is that the two perpetrators were tuned into exactly what ISIS was doing in Europe and the Middle East. This is the first I ever heard that GoPro cameras are commonly used by terrorists.
My apologies & condolences to the family of the young lady whose name I mentioned in another comment. She was an innocent victim. Taught me a lesson. Never quote from Chateau Heartiste.

On NPR Ray Kelly is saying it had some hallmarks of workplace violence. I turned off the radio.

As more details come out the media are becoming increasingly embarrassed about this. From what started out as self-righteous outrage over what they assumed was another Robert Dear type shooting, the tone is crumbling to an ever more plaintive, “Can’t we pleaaase talk about gun control?”

In the media’s deliberate phrasing, the shooting occurred during a “holiday” party.

“Holiday party” is probably exactly what it was called, given that the county had many Muslim employees.

Somewhat OT, but do Muslims object to Christmas? If I understand correctly, they consider Jesus a pretty important prophet.

Lion, keep it up, please. You give the info I can’t get anywhere else. It’s jihad and the MSN won’t call it. We need people like you to tell the truth.
I hope you are behind 7 proxies because you’re probably on someone’s radar for spreading dangerous thoughts.

If in fact they wore Go Pros, that may explain why theyes rushed home instead of continuing the spree – they wanted to upload their footage to a jihad website. Makes you wonder if the creation of that video was as big a goal as the mayhem of the attack.

CNN is now reporting that Farook had been radicalized and was in contact via social media with several international terrorism suspects who were themselves under FBI investigation. (Then shouldn’t that mean Farook was to? Or should have been?)
This is looking a lot like Fort Hood, where the shooter was also in contact with terrorist big shots like Anwar al-Awlaki. The Center may have been targeted solely because it was a place whose security procedures Farook knew well, and since Farook had reason to be there, it would reduce suspicion if he showed up with “Clock Boy” type accoutrement.

Lion. I work within 1 mile radius to the shooter’s apt, without disclosing more. Getting to work there are 8 media trucks parked here. Will walk and check it out during lunch. One of my coworker next desk lives next apt complex. :(…….not trolling here btw. I am a loyal prole reader of ur blog. 🙂

I’m willing to give our authorities the benefit of the doubt and assume they put the murderous wife through a rigorous, thorough vetting before allowing her into the country.

She probably had an Immigrant visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen, but who knows how well those people are investigated?

Black racist killer who killed the blond lady reporter and her camera man in the South filmed his murders as well.
I don’t know how it got released. I’ve seen stills, don’t need to see more.
Also saw recently some black criminals filmed their attack on a Latino cerebral palsy guy somewhere, Detroit I think.
