Stop Saying ‘Muslim Shooters,’ Farook Family Lawyer Says

Lawyers for the Farook family accused the media of racially profiling his client

A lawyer for the family of one of the suspects in the San Bernandino shooting said that the media has been unfairly smearing his client because he is Muslim.

"Until there is absolute clear evidence, every headline doesnt have to say 'Muslim massacre' or 'Muslim shooters,'" said David Chesley, a lawyer for the family of Syed Farook, part of the husband-wife team allegedly behind the attack. "Because its going to cause intolerance and what we need is forgiveness."

Chesley said in a press conference that the media was unfairly characterizing his client's actions as terrorism-related, when there is also evidence that Farook may have had trouble at work and the attack could have been a work-related incident. He noted that co-workers may have teased Farook about his beard, which could have caused him to snap.

After watching that press conference I can only pray that nobody was paying those two Clowns. It was like a bad remake of Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle.

I don't know what's more maddening, these outrageous comments by the lawyers or the media sucking it up and reporting it.

I've noted this to a couple of friends. The lawyer's comments are NOT directed at non-Muslims in the USA. They are meant for Muslims in the US and abroad.

It's an attempt to cast Muslims in the US as being harassed and subject to discrimination. To what end - it's being done in order to gain support from other Muslims.

Why does this lawyer have a client to smear?? Are they going to glue the cadaver back together and send it to prison? What is there to litigate?

Sorry, but weren’t they the shooters, and Muslims?

Maybe I’m missing something here.

Wait, I think I have the answer. Calling them muslim shooters implies that the pair were killing muslims which is insulting to their family members since the truth is the pair were only shooting infidels and not any of the faithful.

The brother’s commendations were what any Navy enlisted person would have been awarded for doing his job. Not “highly decorated” as some of the msm have said.
