Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

Hamilton Nolan being Hamilton Nolan.

maybe we could get guns classified as a trans fat

telling the loons that the Constitution was written for another people and time will work about as well as letting them know the Bible is not the divinely inspired Word, but a set of tribal myths.

As the San Bernardino attack was happening, investigators believe the female shooter, Tashfeen Malik, posted on Facebook, pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, three U.S. officials familiar with the investigation told CNN.

The posting was by Malik made on an account with a different name, according to one U.S. official. The officials did not explain how they knew Malik made the post.

What's the point of all the secrecy (using different names, destroying hard drives, etc.)? I don't get any of that at all. Unless they honestly thought they were going to somehow survive and escape.

that's what i think - that they thought they'd get away. i think i read today or yesterday that authorities thought they were on their way to a second attack site when the shootout happened?

destroying CIA evidence

glad they found the incontrovertible evidence of a Facebook post, no way that could possibly be faked

"that's what i think - that they thought they'd get away."

Wouldn't shooting a bunch of people who know you kind of preclude getting away though...

weren't they wearing masks?

I mean, the whole thing is baffling and incomprehensible but it only becomes more so if they actually thought they were going to go on a murder spree and then just, like, chill afterwards.

Sure that might disguise them a little, but I'd still think "guy worked there, left party earlier, etc" would be pretty high on a POI list...

Sounds like sympathetic to but not formally tied to ISIS.

Esp. if guy you know legally purchased a mess of guns....

“At this point we believe they were more self-radicalized and inspired by the group than actually told to do the shooting,” one of the officials said.

it's fun how the federal government is either dangerously hacking into your personal information through secret back doors or bumbling through email on their AOL account depending on one's current topic of interest.

why the fuck are the police letting the landlord open the apartment to the media? what the hell is going on? how incompetent are the cops here????

They said the police finished searching the apartment last night. At some point it's just another apartment.

uh

i mean at some point yes; but there are ids and documents all over the place. this isn't filling me with very much confidence in either local or federal authorities

the identity of the infant child of murderers isn't really anyone's business

Presumably they went over the place completely and removed everything of interest.

Presumably they went over the place completely and removed everything of interest.

Oh, is that what we're to assume? And "of interest" to whom? One of these TV cunts held up the guy's mother's driver's license and Social Security card, numbers and address fully visible, on live TV. Seems like that information could be "of interest" to a great many people, most of whom you really wouldn't want to have it.

that infant isn't talking

Well, OK I haven't seen any footage from inside. I was imaging a few camera pans and nothing more. I withdraw the comment.

wtf??!!?!?

I've never seen anything like this in my life, this is insane.

i am so fucking angry

I cannot believe what I'm watching, how can the authorities allow this?

MSNBC is a disgrace to humanity

all news media is str8 garbage, it's so depressing

There's about two dozen media outlets in there, I was watching some ghoul from Sky TV traipsing around, trying not to bump into various other camera crews and reporters babbling away and leafing through documents etc etc.

MSNBC Televised 'journalism' is a disgrace to humanity

this is a real low point

The shooting made me feel sad and hopeless. This makes me feel furious and hopeless. I hope every one of these motherfuckers loses their job at the very least.

Are there criminal charges that might apply to what these walking shitstains did?

like what

the thin scrim of journalistic integrity, concern, and responsibility falls away yet again

trespassing. not knowing CA law, but in most cases a landlord can't let another party into your home.

Surely if you cease to exist though?

Evidence tampering? Obstruction of justice? Assuming this was still an active crime scene.

it wasn't, apparently

i'm seeing conflicting things on that too

The thing is, you know that they knew this was a fucked up thing to do, and they probably know that they're in for a slap on the wrist from law enforcement/the feds/the president/public opinion and have a "aw gee whiz and shucks sorry we were such bad widdle boys" statement prepared.

ban all 24-hour news channels

bring back print media

cnn has a video that says the crime scene was cleared for the landlord, who then let reporters in. It doesn't seem like the reporters had direct permission from police, so the landlord could be lying.

which would hopefully result in charges

ban all 24-hour news channels

bring back print media

preach

Hey, great, we got it cleared up!
