    Those same politicians were conspicuously silent about even offering "thoughts and prayers" for several days after the Planned Parenthood attack.

    The pro-immigration crowd is thrilled that he's a citizen, and was born here.

    Yeah, I'm sure he traces his roots in America to the Mayflower, and it completely ignores the fact that his wife, and accomplice, is Saudi.

    Multiple news reports that the weapons were "purchased legally".

    Yeah, but not by them!

    His parent emigrated from South Asia. Woman originally from Pakistan. He was born in the USA. For the record, the folks who came over on the Mayflower and their immediate descendants waded through blood to set up camp here. Read up on King Philip's War.

    King Philip's War was 50 years after the Mayflower landed.

    The native community had been decimated by disease prior to their landing.

    He should have read the Sister Souljah collection instead. I hear it is life changing.

    His brother's first name is also Syed? That's not very imaginative.

    There are two Syed Farooks in the greater San Bernardino area. According to a LinkedIn profile, a Syed Raheel Farook was employeed as a business taxes representative for the California State Board of Equalization. This man—who went by his middle name, Raheel—is a 2003 graduate La Sierra High School and most recently studied finance at California State University Fullerton until 2013.

    A public records search indicates that Syed Raheel Farook’s mother lives at the Redlands home raided by the police on Wednesday.

    However, it is Syed Rizwan Farook, an environmental health specialist at the San Bernardino County Health Department, whom the police named Wednesday night as the shooting suspect.

    Adding to the confusion is that the two Syed R. Farooks are apparently brothers.

    Europeans. Obviously.

    But, not from those who sailed on the Mayflower.

    LA Times reported he met his wife online.

    Clearly, we need to ban the Internet.

    Maybe their parents were friends with George Foreman?
