A MYSTERY WE MAY NEVER SOLVE
boblonsberry.com ^ | 12/03/15 | Bob Lonsberry

Posted on 12/03/2015 5:45:15 AM PST by shortstop

It’s a complete mystery.

Two Muslims shoot up a Christmas party and we have no way whatsoever of knowing why.

That’s the official line.

From the White House, from the media, from any number of somber people at press conferences.

We don’t know. We may never know.

We mustn’t speculate.

Though, maybe it was violent video games. Or too much refined sugar. Or maybe they were bullied, maybe they were lashing back at micro aggressions.

Either way, it’s the damn NRA’s fault.

They hadn’t dragged any of the bodies out yet and the president was already talking about we’ve got to have more gun control. We’re a bunch of savages and we need stricter laws and we’re the only civilized country that has it like this and, damn Republicans, this has to change.

That’s what he said.

This happened because we don’t have enough gun control, and your president isn’t afraid to say so. He shouts it at every opportunity.

That’s what progressives call dead people.

Opportunity.

People die and the Democrats, pulling out their pre-printed talking points, condemn our gun laws.

Just like the president condemned the French for lax gun laws after the attacks in Paris.

OK, never mind about that last part.

This is about the mystery.

The mind-boggling mystery of why the progressive half of America absolutely has to pretend that yesterday’s San Bernardino attack wasn’t Muslim terrorism.

Isn’t that a funny coincidence? The San Bernardino killers have names that sound a lot like the names of the Paris killers.

What are the odds of that?

Two Muslims shot up a Christmas party and we’re pretty sure it was workplace violence. Probably at its root this is all about islamophobia and cultural disrespect by privileged people in our racist, Christocentric society.

What else could cause two young people to dress up like GI Joe, make a couple of bombs and slaughter a large number in innocent, unarmed people?

At a Christmas party.

Maybe it was angst over climate change.

It was just this week that the president said the best way to fight terrorism was by stopping global warming. The pope said terrorism was caused by poor education and a lack of jobs.

Absolutely Not A Terrorist #1 had a college degree, a good job with benefits and a pension, and owned a pretty nice house for a 28-year-old. Absolutely Not A Terrorist #2 had been welcomed into the United States and was living a comfortable middle class life and driving a luxury SUV.

Of course, Absolutely Not A Terrorists #3 through #21 were also mostly college educated and well off when they started flying airplanes into buildings.

But you only thought of that because you are a racist islamophobe.

Let’s get back to the mystery.

Probably the cause was chlorine in the drinking water, or Donald Trump, or psychiatric medications, or American imperialism, or the Crusades, or somebody put pork on the cafeteria menu.

Beyond that, I have no theories.

By the way, how about those militarized police, huh? Somebody needs to take them down a peg or two. Last night on TV the bullet-riddled vehicle of these two young love birds was ringed by armored vehicles.

Armored vehicles which just six months ago the president said police didn’t need, and which he forbad the Defense Department to give to police agencies. Interesting to note that the last two mass shootings – at San Bernardino and Colorado Springs – were both stopped by police in armored vehicles.

Clearly yesterday was an example of police excess and I presume by the end of today the cops of California will begin taking enhanced cultural sensitivity classes.

Probably Rahm Emmanuel will fire the police chief again.

It would be comical if it wasn’t so stunningly, appallingly heartbreaking.

Yesterday was a human tragedy. People whose lone offense was attending a Christmas party were gunned down and slaughtered.

Today is a social tragedy.

Because the rest of us are afraid to say why.

Two Muslims shot up a Christmas party.

And we are pretending we don’t know why.

Land of the free and the home of the brave my ass.

Considering the impact of yesterday's massacre, this is not one of Lonsberry's better works. I think he, the media and especially the Republican presidential candidates are missing the larger point in all this. Obama came out quickly with his standard "change gun laws" argument, without knowing who the perps were. Now that we know they were Muslims, should we not be shouting from the rooftops, "no more Muslim immigrants"?

This was not your usual Unibomber crazy guy we've seen in the past. This was Islamic terrorism, just as we're on the verge of offering asylum to 10,000 0r 25,000 alleged Syrian refugees. Should not the country be saying, "that's enough? Those potential terrorists are not wanted here. And by the way, ship the ones who are here back to the sandbox that they came from. Where are the candidates on this, the media? I expected Lonsberry at least would pick up on this. Oh wait, I guess that wouldn't be politically correct. (rant off)

As a nation an empire we are collective witnessing the Tower of Babel version 2.0, and we are doing everything we can to pretend we can control the end of the story.

Uh, no it’s not.

We know why. It happened because guns are too available in this country and we need common sense gun laws like no guns in the hands of civilians, ever.

(Please read the tagline.)

The Guardian UK says that there was some kind of ‘row’. The muslim Islamonazis were ‘lucky’ that they had all of their gear stashed away nearby just “in case” something ugly happened “to them” at the Christmas luncheon.

I believe the Christmas Party story has now been deemed a red herring. They were muzzies and this was planned. It's terrorism.

Sure...lets let more in. This woman came with a little baby. We're suckers.

The police response in this must be applauded. They made it job #1 to apprehend/neutralize these people ASAP.

There likely would've been civil war and vigilantism in the wake if they'd continued to roam for days as the Paris attackers did. Could the White House and authorities have kept a lid on the identities of the 'suspects' that long?

I doubt that Americans would've settled for 'sheltering in place' and imposed curfews and door to door house searches as the residents of Boston did in the wake of the Patriot's Day bombing there.

And the neighbour didn’t want to report anything for fear of being labeled a racist.

So, the truth is that rather than acting responsibly, the neighbour was intimidated. He would have been racially profiling and that has been deemed discrimination.

Political correctness regarding racial profiling and fear of being called a racist has resulted in the death of 14 innocent people. If the neighbour had “said something when he saw something”, things may be different.

This was clearly Donald Trump’s fault. Oh...and the NRA and climate change!

Dose anyone trust the Obama government to accurately inform the public about an act of Islamic terrorism? Have we not reached a tipping point with this administration? We need a change....

Doesn't everybody make pipe bombs and booby trap their house and car before they go to work? "Police are trying to piece together the motive" I just heard. Let's get Inspector Clouseau on it.

I was watching GMA this morning. Georgie Boy and Brian Ross were doing their best to twist this into Workplace Violence, similar to Col. Hasan at Ft. Hood. (their comparison)
Amazing how idiotic these people are.

Looking at the SJW on socialist networking sites like Facebook today is mind boggling.

“America has a guns problem”
“All religions are bad”
“If someone else had a gun it would cause too much confusion and innocents would die”

And no one is draping their profile pic in a US flag today.

I wasn’t reading comments by my friends, I was looking at ‘trending articles’ on FB and viewing the comments from around the world from registered Facebook users on news articles, often from those agencies’ news sites.

Even an hour ago they were skeptical that these people were muslims, “can’t tell just by the names!”. Father came out. CAIR came out. Online profiles came out. Denial ain’t a river.

It’s a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce....

Tell anyone who decries guns because of this attack that the ban on pipe bombs did not deter these terrorists.

What time during the event did Mr. Obama know and at what point did he continue to push a phony narrative calling for tighter gun control?

I think we all know what happened yesterday and why....we all know it's a muslim cell, and I don't care if people don't like this statement, but obuma was in L.A. not to long ago, and I believe he knew what was going to happen...the people on the roof tops on 9/11 had small buildings up there and knew before the planes hit, that was going to happen...tell me they don't know before...and why did obuma come out not half an hour after this terrible tragedy and start blaming the republicans and gun control....every incident that has happened that had a Black person or a muslim involved, obuma has come right out and had some off the wall insane thing to yap about, but when it's a white person or child or children, you don't hear a word about it...

When the children in Oregon were shot, the people held up signs and let him know they didn't want him anywhere around them, go away and stay away....that's what we all should be doing right now is letting him know we don't want him in the Rainbow Hut any longer and we don't want him in America any longer, he's nothing but a foreign exchange student fraud....

How sad for those families, and just before Christmas, I can't imagine the hurt and pain...May God be with them always....

It's time folks, it's time that we let people know we are not going to take it anymore, its time we get rid of the low life scum that is coming over our borders, it's time we start watching the Mosques and muslims, it's time when you get a gut feeling about something, you call your police and let them know...maybe if this lady had done that, instead of being so scared, this wouldn't have happened, but then again, maybe it would have...

God Bless America and God Bless the American People!!!
