San Bernadino
Gunmen attack a large facility that services individuals with developmental disabilities. 14 dead and 14 injured. Gunmen still on the loose. I need a drink.

Re: San Bernadino
From what I've been reading, it looks like the targets may have been county officials who were holding a holiday banquet on the premises.

Re: San Bernadino
So apparently the guy is a Muslim named Syed Farook. Who was employed there and was apparently in a workplace dispute earlier.
So many questions ...
If it's a disgruntled employee shooting his bosses and coworkers, but the disgruntled employee is a Muslim, is it terrorism or just another guy going postal?
If the Muslim shoots up the place during a "Holiday party," is it part of the War on Christmas?
If they called it a Holiday party, is that part of the War on Christmas?
When was the last time it was an actual postal employee who went postal?

If Planned Parenthood was to blame for the Colorado Springs shooting then obviously the developmentally disabled were to blame for this shooting.

@igorvolsky was widely lauded throughout my Twitter feed for reporting on the hypocrisy of the "thoughts and prayers" tweets of politicians who accepted NRA money. He retweeted "thoughts and prayers" tweets from the politicians' accounts with an added info of how much the NRA had donated to their campaigns.

Re: San Bernadino
Not going to post it here, but the NY Post cover today is particularly vile. They've decided to take a break from stoking hatred towards the poor and are doing their best to fuel Islamophobia and hatred of Muslims. Considering that there were already incidents in Texas, before this happened, of armed white gunmen standing outside of mosques and sharing lists of the home assesses of local Muslims, things could get really ugly here.

Re: San Bernadino
I think a ban on assault weapons and semi-automatic weapons is a reasonable compromise. Don't see how this would violate the 2nd Amendment. And, yes, I realize some criminals will get such weapons regardless of any ban. Still seems reasonable to me.
Of course I am an unusual Conservative. I've never owned a gun. I don't hunt, occasionally fish. I've never given a dime to the NRA, Ducks Unlimited or the like. I have had these conversations for 30 years with my friends who are hunters, some agree, some do not.

But isn't most gun violence committed by handguns? I posted about this when the Oregon shooting happened, but two moms from my family's school were shot by one of the moms' ex-husband. It doesn't grab headlines, because instead of a dozen dead, it just resulted in one woman paralyzed forever and another with a bullethole where her eye used to be.

It's only been in the last 15 years or so that the term "Conservative" has become so tainted by being associated with bible thumpers, gun nuts and those who would find the real Reagan to be far too left-wing as he believed that sometimes, politics involved compromise. The day Palin was announced as McCain's running mate was the day that things changed.SportsDoc wrote:I think a ban on assault weapons and semi-automatic weapons is a reasonable compromise.

I may be wrong, and perhaps it's my own bias, but it seems to me that what is considered to be "Liberal" has not become more extreme over the same time span.

Re: San Bernadino
Fuck these people are idiots.
Even though it could have been predicted, it is still appalling to see this.
My ultra-observant Rabbi friend (as religious a person as I have ever met) believes that God has a plan, that he is omnipotent. But he also believes that man has free will that can not be controlled by God. That man is weak and can be led into temptation that results in any of the four cardinal sins. He also believes that prayer is a very important part of a person's life, but what is more important are the deeds that a person does.
Basically, talk is cheap.
And no talk, no prayer, is cheaper than when it is used as a substitute for action.

I watched Fox News last night, they were 100% certain it was Terrrr-ists.
Question: are guns laws a state or federal law?
I know that California has one the strictest gun laws and Arizona the least strict. So it doesn't mean much when a person can go freely from one sate to another. Where does the 2nd Amendment come in?

Re: San Bernadino
All levels of government can regulate gun sales, possession, and ownership, but all such laws are subject to the Second Amendment. Most of the big Supreme Court cases involving restrictive gun laws have dealt with city ordinances, from places like Chicago, DC, etc.degenerasian wrote:I watched Fox News last night, they were 100% certain it was Terrrr-ists.

No. My father was a local committee man for the Republican party in the 1970s, and he quit in the early 1980s, because he was disgusted that the moral majority types were taking over the party in our area.

Firmly on the terrorist side of the scale and not so much mental illness/pissed off employee? Proof positive, as if there were a need, that this country is fucked up. So bad that we dont even know when weve been attacked by terrorists. Just run of the mill regular guys that ended a bad day at work with semiautomatic gunfire. You know those days.

Just read that the landlord has been escorted away by the police.
So should whoever is supposed to be guarding the apartment.

Re: San Bernadino
I don't really know what lefty Twitter people are saying. I'm outraged because they are trampling an active scene in an incredibly important investigation. People are moving shit around, now fingerprints are on EVERYTHING. We don't know if others were involved with this or any host of other things the FBI is looking into.
The landlord is going to be charged with whatever the equivalent to hindering an investigation is, possibly obstructing justice, too.
And while it's probably not likely they will be charged... If reporters sat there and watched this guy tear down a police barricade and entered past police tape... That's knowingly entering a crime/investigation scene.
The other HUGE issue here is they are holding up pictures and a drivers license having NO IDEA who is being pictured. We've already had The Daily Best mis-identify the shooter earlier in the week, just like a bunch of outlets ran pictures of the woman they thought was killed in the Belgian raid of that terrorist, only to find out she had nothing to do with anything.
Fucking stupid.
