2. The whole thing is so weird and a lot doesn't add up. I'm not disagreeing on the issue of terrorism but I don't think work place violence should be ignored.
Libs'/Progs' reluctance to use the
T-Word would be comical, but for the potential for future consequences.
The only way this was "workplace violence" is that Farook's coworkers were his easiest targets, He and Malik spent months gathering guns, ammo, Kevlar vests, explosives, RC cars and triggers, and making bombs. Farook was in contact with foreign radicals/terrorists, and the materiel he accumulated over a year or less was vastly beyond his financial means (IOW, where'd he get the $$ for all that materiel?!). This mass killing was the virtual polar opposite of an impulse triggered by some "last straw".
With all this demagogic energy wasted in blaming guns rather than the people who pulled the triggers, in dodging the grossly obvious fact that this was foreign-enabled and (probably) -funded terrorism
is energy not used to learn the lessons that need to be learned - the things necessary to identify and neutralize terrorist-wannabes before they kill people.
