Be prepared for the “workplace violence” card to be played. All last night law enforcement, FBI and the media were pussy footing around calling the horrific shooting a terrorist attack.
“The officials called the case perplexing, saying that no clear evidence of terrorism had emerged and that there were some signs pointing away from it. But they said the shooting was clearly premeditated, and does not fit the mold for typical workplace violence incidents.”
Perplexing? Are these ‘officials’ from Mars. Here is what happened….
Farook and his wife were a part of a cell planning a large scale terrorist attack.
Mr. Farook is an employee of the Health Dept and knew when and where the gathering of his co-workers was going to happen.
He went there a bit earlier to make sure that the group was actually in attendance. A very large number of people in one room.
A very soft target had to be the planned location.
His leaving the gathering under any circumstances was mere subterfuge. He had completed the surveillance and knew his targets were in place.
He and his wife dropped off their child and then prepared for the attack.
They donned tactical vests laden with weapons and a very large quantity of ammunition both 9MM for their pistols and .223 calibre rounds for their assault rifles.
Farook and Tashfeen returned to the Inland Regional Center, went directly into the gathering and opened fire. Killing 14 and wounding 21.
For unknown reasons they exited the location before the first responders arrived and drove off in the black SUV but not before leaving a pipe bomb in the building.
Over 300 Police officers responded to the active shooter situation and were very successful in containing Farook and Tashfeen within the local geography.
The couple retreated to the apartment they shared and good old fashioned police work lead the investigation to the apartment where the SUV was located and there commenced the vehicle pursuit.
Gun shots from the SUV were returned in overwhelming strength by the officers and both perpetrators were killed inside the vehicle.
Deliberately, cautiously and methodically the SUV and the apartment were searched.
Inside the rented Ford Expedition were found thousands of rounds of ammunition, 2 Assault Rifles and 2 handguns, as well as IED’s. The apartment has been described as an IED facility or factory.
My dear friends, are you perplexed as to what happened here?
Additional reports from neighbors indicated that there had been unusual or suspicious activity in and around the apartment for two to three weeks.
Many individuals were seen coming and going and packages were frequently carried in.
Perplexed?
Simply, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. Or if you prefer, if it looks like a mackerel and it smells like a mackerel then it is a mackerel.
Political agenda, or not. This dastardly act is the cousin to the Paris attacks of three weeks ago.
