Islamic Center of San Diego — Authorities have identified the two teenage suspects involved in the deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez.

Investigators said the two gunmen opened fire at the mosque on Monday, killing three adult men, including security guard Amin Abdullah, before later dying from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

California has some exceptionally high launch pads....I mean buildings. There is going to be retaliation. Bet on it.

They were low on tranny fluid for their genders.

The suspects don’t look like MAGA people. Is all this trans/gay talk just speculation, or has it been confirmed?

[Morgana]

Sorry Drew68 said it but it looked like it was in your post.

Drew68 we should be leading them to Christ not wishing them dead!

[Persevero]

Oh my bad I was not aware.

Yes I don’t know for a fact how this teen “identified” and I am sorry they chose this path.

...and ban under 21 year olds from owning firearms. AND murder is even banned in California.

I don’t know squat yet, but that radical dramatic act of attack and killings immediately followed by double suicide screams lovers to me.

[PGR88]

gotta recharge those deep-state “Islamophobia” propaganda batteries.

[bdfromlv]

if they accept Jesus their fellow Muslims have got to kill them.

Only the straight Christian ones…

"I don’t know squat yet, but that radical dramatic act of attack and killings immediately followed by double suicide screams lovers to me."

Almost like Charlie Kirk 2.0.

You’re speaking my language...

[Steve_Seattle1]

I looked at the news story that this thread is based on, and they’re portraying them as neo-Nazis. But that is not incompatible with them being trans/gay or just screwed up across the board.

Excellent 👍👍👍

[ansel12]

It would be unusual for neo-Nazis to plan a weak attack followed by a double suicide.

[ansel12]

I meant if they were neo-Nazis alone it would be unusual, you are correct, they could be both and that would work.
