Reporters root through San Bernardino shooters' apartment on live TV

 

 

I won't post the whole thing here, it's a wish mash of twits, photos and videos interspersed through the story. Read it here: http://www.cbc.ca/ne...ve-tv-1.3351259

 

So now the inter web is full of random photos taken from the shooters apartment/house. I won't post them here, they are just family photos of people who are in no way involved with any of this, but from here on in, thanks to the feckless media, they will be associated with an atrocity.

San Bernardino shooter's alleged Isis link: Obama's worst political nightmare

 

 

An unwavering focus on gun control in the wake of Wednesday’s shooting may leave the president in an uncomfortable and likely untenable position

 

There is never a good time for a commander-in-chief to learn of a terrorist attack on the homeland, but confirmation that the FBI is investigating the mass shooting in San Bernardino as an act of terrorism and growing suspicion that at least one of the killers may have links to the Islamic State could hardly have come at a worse time politically for Barack Obama.

 

Just one week before Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik killed 14 Americans at an office Christmas party in California, the president responded to mounting fear of terrorism with unusually forthright reassurance for Americans to “go about their usual activities†during the US holiday season.

 

“The combined resources of our military, our intelligence and our homeland security services are on the case,†said Obama in an address broadcast the day before Thanksgiving.

 

“While the threat of terrorism is a troubling reality of our age, we are both equipped to prevent attacks and we are resilient in the face of those who would try to do us harm.â€

 

Though the White House address was couched with all the usual caveats about the need for constant vigilance, the president also went out of his way to stress there was “no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homelandâ€.

 

The message was a direct response to what Obama said were “understandable†fears about terrorism in the wake of the recent Paris shootings.

 

But it also came as he was facing unprecedented levels of criticism from political opponents about failing to take seriously the threat from Isis and those potentially inspired by its violent extremism.

 

Even French president Francois Hollande, who visited Washington three days prior to the address, had been urging the White House to step up its military action against Isis in Syria.

 

...

 

The president’s initial response to the shooting in San Bernardino has also been seized upon by Republicans as a sign that his unwillingness to label the threat from radical extremists as “Islamic†has created a dangerous blind spot.

 

In the immediate aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting, Obama focused exclusively on gun control as a policy response – suggesting the attack fitted into a “pattern of mass shootings in this countryâ€.

 

By Thursday, after the identity of the attackers had become clear, the president acknowledged that terrorism was a possibility but still spoke mainly about the need to pass gun control legislation – even though it now looks possible that the assault rifles in the attack may have already been illegal under California law.

 

...

 

 

White House spokesman Josh Earnest was asked Friday if there had been a major intelligence failure in the California shooting and said: “At this point it’s far too early to reach that kind of conclusion,†whilst acknowledging how challenging it is to disrupt terrorist plots, particularly so-called lone wolf attacks.

 

However, if the San Bernardino attack does prove to have even distant links to Isis, public confidence will be undermined in both the intelligence community and Obama’s own leadership in the fight against the global terror. It seems likely the current White House will find its more cautious approach unsustainable in the face of pressure.

Sadly I think this is just the beginning...........

 

A man has reportedly launched a horrific attack with a machete in a London train station.

Witnesses say the man screamed ‘this is for Syria’ before slashing another man’s throat in Leytonstone train station in east London.

A large splash of blood could be seen on the floor near the ticket barriers of the station, before police quickly descended on the scene and tasered the suspect.

Police have confirmed they are treating the incident as a ‘terrorist attack’.

Graphic photos of video were uploaded to Twitter showing police trying to subdue the man as bloody footprints can be seen all around the station.

Police say one man suffered ‘serious injuries’ in the attack.

Witnesses said two other member of the public were also injured, however police have not confirmed this.

Sweet Jesus.

And now we'll see increased official reporting of any incidents as, not to do with Terrorists, as governments will seek to deprive them of oxygen.

Western media needs to take the same approach as they do with Boko Haram. We rarely hear about them even though they kill many more in their attacks.

6000 deaths from suicide attacks in the last few years. Have also heard reports that they have made arrests of suicide bombers placed in IDP camps.
