Less than a week after 9/11 GWB bent over backwards to tamp down anti-Muslim bigotry, and now we have GOP presidential candidates openly encouraging it. I'm willing to bet a significant percentage of outright Islamophobes have been stockpiling weapons and ammo since 2008 and are just dying to use them. If ISIS ever manages to pull off an attack over here things are going to get extremely ugly and violent, more so than they already are.

Well that "Trans leftist bank robber" theory didn't last very long. Also a town clerk confirmed that the "F" on his voter roll info was in fact a typo. Did Cruz and company forget this guy was taken in alive or what?

SpecialK2 posted: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.

Well when at least half a dozen cops have some guy literally backed up against the wall, the only safe option is to mow him down like you're a firing squad carrying out an execution. Really, none of SF's finest had a tazer or pepper spray or training on how to use them?

Do we know the names of the other two shooters? Any concrete theories on a motive yet? I have a bad feeling that the longer that Muslim-sounding name hangs in the air with no further info, the more likely it is that some goober who's way too wound-up over ISIS will do something stupid and violent.

This is unreal. Just staggering incompetence by everyone involved. Is the apartment still a crime scene or not? I can't imagine it being ok to give the press and any other goober in the neighborhood free reign to rummage through a killer's apartment less than 48 hours after the crime.

Twitter is now saying someone brought their dog into the house. Isn't this exactly why cops put up yellow tape? Even if their investigation at the site was over you don't just let random people and media waltz right in to basically loot the house. I wonder how many poo poo heads went down to grab souvenirs and take selfies. "Wooo down at the killer's apartment rn, taking a piss in a terrorist's toilet! Plz like and share! ✌🏼😚❤️😝🍟🇺🇸💯💩💩"

I found something about a Mohawk tribe in upstate NY shooting down a VT National Guard medical helicopter in 1990, before Pataki was governor. Is this what you were thinking of, or did a NY Mohawk tribe actually take down two helicopters two separate times? http://www.nytimes.com/1990/04/14/nyregion/standoff-ends-but-not-mohawk-defiance.html I guess standoffs between native tribes and state governments over taxes were a thing in the 90s. I remember a chief named Moon Faced Bear engaging in a protracted, armed standoff with CT state police over cigarette taxes about 20 years ago.
