Mass shooting in California.

[El Gitano]

One sunny day in January 2017, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama. ”The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here. ”The old man said, “Okay,” and walked away.

The following day the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama. ”The Marine again told the man, “Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here. ”The man thanked him and again just walked away.

The third day the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, “Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I’ve told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand?”

The old man looked at the Marine and said “Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.” The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, “See you tomorrow, Sir"

Of course it was extremist terrorism.
Why would someone wear body armor and masks while carring automatic weapons to start with. And why would they kill a lot of innocent people like that? It was an attack.

Latest from the news

"They came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission."

"A shooting survivor who was at the Inland Regional Center said the gunmen entered the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California without saying a word and opened fire"

One of the gunmen shot dead by police after a deadly attack on a Christmas party in California has been named as Syed Farook.

Colleagues and public records said he worked as an an environmental health specialist, part of San Bernardino County's public health department which was holding the party he attacked.

After fleeing the scene of the shooting police closed in on his house in nearby Redlands. One man and a woman were shot dead as he fled in a black 4x4. A third suspect escaped on foot before being detained.

It was not clear whether Farook survived.

His brother-in-law, Farhan Khan, told a news conference he last spoke to Farook a week ago and offered his family's condolences to anyone affected.

"I have no idea why he'd do it," he said. "Why would he do it? Why would he do something like this?

"I'm in shock myself. I am a normal person."

Griselda Reisinger, a former colleague, said Farook worked as a food inspector for the department.

“He was very quiet,” she told The Los Angeles Times. “I would say hi and bye, but we never engaged him in conversation. He didn’t say much at all.”

She added that he had recently returned from paternity leave.

A man who identified himself as Farook’s father told The New York Daily News his son worked as a health technician inspecting restaurants and hotels.

“I haven’t heard anything. He worked in a county office,” he said. “He’s married and has a kid. We’re estranged because my wife got the divorce, and they are together. She doesn’t want to see me.”

He added that he had not seen his son for some time.

“He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.”

Farook's name first emerged after three masked shooters opened fire at the party. Over a radio transmission, an officer could be heard telling a dispatcher that Farook was "acting nervous" and had walked out of the party 20 minutes before the shooting began. Other reports suggested he had been asked to leave.

The attackers were armed with handguns and rifles, and were dressed in camouflage clothing.

Meredith Davis, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, told NBC News: "With my experience with other mass shootings, there are indicators that this was well planned out.

"It was to be violent in nature.

"They were in tactical gear, I don't know if they had ballistic protection... And had several several magazines full of ammunition fashioned to their bodies. So they were ready for a gunfight should that occur."

Every mass shooting seems to turn into a race-blaming political adventure.

It's not a white problem, it's not a black problem, it's a gun problem.

Maybe this one has an overlap with Islamic terrorism, maybe not, but he still had to get a gun and it's not that difficult in the US.



Americans are getting wiped out in batches of 33,000.

we have 320 mil. ppl

33,000 is nothing.

So let's see...we have an extremely religious Muslim who with a couple of friends...(dare i say Muslim?) who orchestrate a mass slaughtering at a Christmas party. What could be the motive?

don't you think that means it is time to rethink your gun politics? this happens so frequently in america that you joke about it. something needs to change.

So seriously...is celebrating Christmas in America offensive to Muslim values and worthy of death by massacre? I mean what is the message he was sending?
