Terrorist, pal got cold feet prior to 2012 plot
NY POST ^ | December 10, 2015 | By Laura Italiano and Yaron Steinbuch

Years before he met his rifle-toting Pakistani bride, San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan ­Farook plotted jihad with his boyhood next-door neighbor in 2012, it was revealed Wednesday.

Farook’s pal, Islam convert ­Enrique Marquez, had by then purchased the firepower to pull off an attack: the very same two AR-15s that Farook and wife Tashfeen ­Malik would use last week in slaughtering 14 people at the Inland Regional Center.

A specific target was weighed, CNN reported, citing two US officials, though they did not identify it.

But Marquez, who is cooperating with the FBI, has told investigators that he got cold feet and the 2012 plot fell through, the network reported.

Marquez, 24, has also told investigators that he had no advance knowledge of last week’s massacre.

But a Marquez pal told ABC News that at a party months ago, the glasses-wearing Walmart employee made a remark that in hindsight was prophetic.

“He said something along the lines of, ‘There’s a lot of Muslims in our own back yard, just ready to go haywire and attack,’ ” the friend, Michael G. Stone, told ABC.

So two guys chickened out & it took a female to pull it off?

Kipling was right. The female of the species is deadlier than the male.

He said “there are a lot of Muslims in our own back yard...ready to attack.” Is Obama going to say this guy is Islamaphobic?

Charges-wise....I can’t see this guy getting less than ten years in a federal prison. If he walks free...there’s something wrong. Just in civil court....loved ones of victims can probably go after every asset this guy owns.

Pardon the tin foil but what about the 3rd shooter? A lot of things are not connecting. I sense there’s some real funky stuff going on surrounding this event.

How about the parents of the shooter whose son was born here? They knew and IMO CONTRIBUTED BY NOT FEELING OR TEACHING ANY RESPECT FOR OTHERS OR LOVE FOR THE USA.
They grew no allegiance for their son for America or this would not happen.

And what about the Walmart co-worker that did not report all these Muslims looking to make trouble in that back yard?

Also, jail this Walmart heinous if his guns were used and he made no police report.

Here's more.

The marriage documents show that Marquez married Chernykh on Nov. 29, 2014. It could not be determined whether they live together.

Witnesses to the marriage were Mariya’s sister, Tatiana Farook, and Tatiana’s husband, Raheel Farook, Reuters reported.

Raheel Farook married Tatiana, then known as Tatiana Gigliotti, on Sept. 10, 2011, the documents show.

It was a fricken' automatic long Machine Gun SUV that overpowered the peace loving Tashfeen and Farook and attacked the Christmas Party on its on.

Evil guns (particularly the automatic AK AR variety) are prone to do that.

Sandy Hook was in 2012. 12/14/2012.

Maybe the 2012 plan was to shoot up a school, but he got cold feet.

That’s pretty interesting. Chernykh is a Russian name. How did two Russian women hook up with two Muslim radicals - and brothers - who are American citizens?
