Bombs left at a Southern California social services facility by the gun-wielding radical Muslim couple who killed 14 and wounded 21 were set to go off when first responders arrived, Fox News learned on Monday, in a vicious strategy often seen in the Middle East.

And the hope that others will know God’s Grace and Love. Although I don’t think that is bad. Not like beheading or blowing up women and children.
Police, fire fighters, medics are not the first responders. The first responders should be those on the scene who are not dead or too badly wounded to do anything.
If you are on the scene and not disabled, you are a first responder. Are you prepared to shoot back? Can you improvise a tourniquet to keep someone alive until the medics arrive? If the scene must be evacuated because of a fire, can you help others get out? Can you give a coherent story to 911? Can you get other people organized to help those who need help?
Think in terms of being able to respond immediately with emergency first aid until help arrives.
Jesus is actually pretty aggressive about salvations. We Christians tend to be laid back about it.
Yeah...kept forgetting about the bombs.
It was bad. Imagine how much worse they hoped for, planned for...
We still see the grace of God (the real one, not this celestial meanie with the chip on his shoulder).
Messengers of Hell on Earth.
Maybe they acted a bit earlier than planned; sounds like the toll could have been even higher.
I wonder how the ‘know nothing’ mother is doing.
I’m sure she has been printed and all the devices found are under scrutiny.
Yet it is simple choice. John 3-16. :)
Won't they be surprised (and not in a pleasant way)?
Hell is such a wicked place, not merely hot. I might expect they got greeted by a demon with something on the order of “Lucky you! You get to rage at God forever! This fire will help you do it, here!”
Jess a couple of poor, misguided yutes, out kicking up their heels, no doubt. (/S)
So Farook had planned to murder even more of his fellow county employees.
You are correct. In fact, “First Responder” classes are offered by various groups and they are basic First Aid/CPR should you be with someone who needs aid or happen across someone who does before police/fire/EMS can get on scene. A good example would be an accident scene - you can quickly assess airway, breathing, circulation & perhaps keep someone alive (clear airway, control bleeding, do CPR) until more advanced help arrives.
What these servants of Satan were after were the police/fire/EMS responding to the scene. Not technically “first responders”, but the next wave in the building aside from those already there ... the dead, wounded or those capable of being a ‘first responder’.
IMO, the media gets confused & uses “first responder” and people mostly assume they mean those responding via police/fire/EMS.
Well said.
His grace is all around us, in ways infinitesimal and grand. I pray that all who loved those murdered will let it heal them.
That's exactly what they were doing. Loiter in the area until the first responders show up, then get within frequency range to detonate the explosives that were left behind.
Your last few posts makes it seem like you are coming ever closer to comparing Christians with Islamists.
More like wailing and gnashing of teeth, separated from God for all of eternity, as you realize that you've made the costliest mistake any person could ever make. Where there is absolutely no hope for a better tomorrow.
Quite sad when you contemplate the enormity of it.
