Officials: San Bernardino Shooter Was ‘Radicalized’, In Touch With Terror Suspects
Sayed Rizwan Farook and wife Tashfeen Malik had extensive amounts of ammunition in their home when they were killed by police.
San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, fired between 65 and 75 rifle rounds during the shooting at a county health department holiday party, then unloaded about that number in a later confrontation with police…
Authorities later found thousands more rounds of ammunition at the couple’s residence, 12 pipe bombs and hundreds of tools that “could be used to construct IEDs or pipe bombs,” the chief said…
Syed Rizwan Farook — one-half of the couple behind the San Bernardino shooting massacre — was apparently radicalized and in touch with people being investigated by the FBI for international terrorism, law enforcement officials said Thursday.
Farook’s apparent radicalization contributed to his role in the mass shooting, with his wife Tashfeen Malik, of 14 people Wednesday during a holiday party for the San Bernardino County health department, where Farook worked, sources said.
Still, it wasn’t necessarily the only driver behind the carnage, as workplace grievances may have also played a role…
Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia for several weeks in 2013 on the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca that Muslims are required to take at least once in their lifetime, which didn’t raise red flags, said two government officials. It was during this trip that he met Malik, a native of Pakistan who came to the United States on a “fiancée visa” and later became a lawful permanent resident.

It looks as though he kept his radicalization pretty much quiet… like the high schoolers do before going postal

Shouldn’t the FBI been aware? I wish. Guess it was pretty stealth. Olive branch:)

It pretty much puts to bed the far right wing paranoids belief the big bad government is watching everyone 24/7.

That is the price one pays to live in a free society…worth it to me
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 14:30
fascist governments pay an even greater price – without having a free society!

We’re not there yet…

a lot less than some who like to play word games with LE
while brandishing a firearm
… that’s for sure.
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 14:24
so there was an association with Mr. Ritzheimer after all -thought so.

BTW – why the sudden drop of the 3rd shooter everyone was talking about and was clearly seen in one of the cell phone vids showing them entering the building?
tracey marie December 3rd, 2015 at 14:59
He is in custody…keeping this close to find out details.
Suzanne McFly December 3rd, 2015 at 15:17
I heard it was a mistake to associate him with the couple, however he did have a warrant so he remains in custody.
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 14:44
Another mass killing perpetuated by muslims?
How cliche.
tracey marie December 3rd, 2015 at 14:59
and all those white supremacists mass killing are not surprising, your kind of hate has ruined our country and the world.

That’s not what they are saying in San Bernardino.

Well well, another RW troll.
I guess you think this is funny. Sicko.
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 15:55
Are you a telepathic medium?
Gina Bousquet December 3rd, 2015 at 16:00
He is based on your comments to say that. You did not choose this site at random.
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 16:20
You speak for another poster?
Gina Bousquet December 3rd, 2015 at 16:22
I comment on whatever I feel like to, nasty troll
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 16:57
Yes, or no?
Do you speak for the other poster?
Gina Bousquet December 3rd, 2015 at 17:41
Hahahahaha This is not a Senate Committee sh*ty b*st*ard
bpollen December 4th, 2015 at 04:29
Empathetic petite.
By your words shall ye be known.
Your whole purpose is as an agent provocateur. That’s a big fancy phrase used in place of “annoying arsehole.”

What about the thousands Christian shooting sprees in American soil? The only first world nation where the Christian right-wingers kill on a daily basis according to statistic average.
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 15:54
Most of those shootings are Chicago gangsters shooting each other.
That’s actually progress.
Gina Bousquet December 3rd, 2015 at 15:59
That’s a lie and you know it. We don’t swallow that one.

Check out the ads that literally came in my newspaper this morning… which of these is not like the other? Celebrate the season with a military-style assault rifle doorbuster deal!
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 15:24
Sweet deals.
Thanks for the free advertising for Cabelas.
$524 buys a lot of security.
Those guns NEVER jam and they are so light and their recoil is next to nothing.
Such a well-designed firearm that to get one for under $600 dollars almost seems like I am ripping off the store.
Snick1946 December 3rd, 2015 at 15:37
I have never spent a dime at Cabela’s in the past several years. They are totally in bed with the gun industry and the NRA. They freely pass your customer info to the NRA- we were getting calls from them for over a year until I called Cabela’s and threatened legal action which finally worked. I bought a $10 food item and used my credit card.
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 15:48
Thanks for exposing that ad to many more viewers.
That’s a great price for that firearm.
I’m thinking of going to pick one up as a gift from my grandson because at a price like that you just have to jump on it.
Gina Bousquet December 3rd, 2015 at 16:24
OOOOOOBBBBBEEEEE right-winger advertising guns on the site!
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 16:57
It’s a great deal.
You have to love how capitalism is efficiently bringing down the prices of such high quality firearms.
Mike N. December 3rd, 2015 at 16:53
Be sure to pick up a few extra 30 round magazines and a couple thousand rounds of ammo so your grandson can be “safe”
Pat December 3rd, 2015 at 17:16
Thanks for the reminder.
After San Bernardino, ya can’t be too cautious of these situations.
trees December 3rd, 2015 at 19:23
I thought we didn’t have anything to worry about over here, that Islam was a peaceful religion….
robert December 3rd, 2015 at 20:25
i think im up to speed on this dude and his ” go pro ” video adventure

oh wait…………….

Till I saw the draft that was of 7926 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash in his free time with his pc. . His aunt’s neighbor has done this for only 8 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car .Why not try this. sxw….
