I think he meant that it is doubtful its a coincidence. Last I heard the theory was that there was an argument at the San Bernardino Health Department Holiday Party. Suspects later came back and started shooting. This dude working for the Health Department fits that.

I meant his name/ethnicity may be a coincidence if he has or had some sort of connection with the event that was shot up.

Way too many people are going to read that name and immediately assume he's a foreign jihadi when he could be an x-th generation American citizen with a middle eastern name and some beef with the county health department.

Or all of this info could be complete garbage and I need to stay off Twitter.

From the information we have, most likely scenario is a standard (and sad there's a "standard" here) workplace shooting. That said, the available information is quite sketchy.

From the very sketchy reporting: the party was a holiday party for the local health department. There was a fight. Someone left. Then the shooters arrived later. One of the assailants is an employee of the health department.

I just got the horrible feeling that a victim gave them the name because Farood wasn't out with the rest of them and his name is Arab-sounding. It would make sense given the US's current feeling towards potential Muslims.

Someone once told me, "Time is a flat circle".
Some more information, seems like the guy was indeed at the holiday party, left, then apparantly came back. According to the article here, the Redlands house (where the SUV fled from, I believe?) is owned by the employee's family:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/12/02/police-id-suspect-in-san-bernardino-massacre-as-syed-farook.html

And a Facebook image of the dude from the article. Given how accurate random facebook grabs based on initial names can be, take it with a grain of salt at the moment:

It's in the story he cited so blame The Daily Beast if you're looking for the responsible party.

Any possibility this was linked to organised crime? That's the first thing I'm thinking of, given the extensive preparation and serious equipment for a hit on a politically insensitive target.

None of this information really seems useful yet. Is any of this based on anything other than the guy's name?

That was what I thought before I heard "14 Victims". Unless there was a party being held by the Society of Incriminating Former Narco Lieutenants.

The shooter stole his brother's ID and had it on him, leading to news media fuckers immediately naming him.
