Were safe -- mostly spell checked!
This attack has led to endless references to San Bern terrorist attack, so I decided to refresh my memory in a kind compare and contrast mode; Here is what I found.
According to links below :
They spent at least a year preparing- OM bought a couple of guns the weeks before,indicating impulsive (congruent with mental illness , as opposed to a Jihad attack years in the making. i.e Paris.
What was their lifestyle like as it relates to Muslim cultural practices.?
She was born in Pakistan... OM New York..Ms. Milk returned to Pakistan ...... University in Multan, the area a center of support for extremist jihads groups, including Lasher-e-Tibia.. He took a Holiday with his parents to the middle east. According to the FBI it was a Holiday with his parents. MOO
.She chose not to drive voluntarily per custom. OM is cruising to gay bars 90 minutes away. According to Muslim beliefs she prohibited anyone from seeing her face... because she always kept it covered in their presence. Sued did’t want any fathers or brothers or brothers-in-law in the same room when she would also be there.
Om was posting his face all over gay sex sites, hoping to participate in, what the Muslim culture would describe as a big sin.. In addition, OM, as we have seen in different media pictures, Omar seemed quite up to date on the latest western fashion for his American age related counterparts MOO.
She prayed five times a day,.and . and maintained Muslim traditions in terms of fasting. He, like many Americans were running to GNC. As far as OM goes, we have conflicting information, as it relates to time periods in his life, regarding his prayer activities. This is totally congruent with bipolar symptoms. Feeling either very depressed (exaggerate feelings of shame and guilt) deep depression also results in profound periods of isolation and withdrawal, corresponding to his absence of prayer during portions of his life. MOO
Many saw no evidence of religion and or praying for long periods in his life. This too makes sense in that religion resulted in much of his shame and guilt. Makes sense he would spend a lot of his years not wanting to have anything to do with his religion because of the anguish, as a gay Muslim, he experienced when engaging in its teachings.
In other descriptions of him he is described as frequently praying. - exactly what one would expect during the manic phases of bipolar disorder. Goal directed behaviors. Feverishly. Much like his frenzied search one night on ISIS stuff online the first week in June. The guy at the guard gate also deiscribed another event in which he spent an entire evening researching meds. WIth no sleep. Picture mania like a movie where it sped up. MOO
The Sana Bern guys, over a long period of time (before they were engaged) relentlessly sent each other , messages,expressing a commitment to jihadism and martyrdom..Mr. Fa rook had posted profiles on Muslim dating websites. OM on line activity consisted of grinder and looking for gay bars.
During their attack they were in full terrorist wardrobe ; masks and military-style vests, load-bearing vests holding magazines and ammunition. OM was in a pair of American made blue jeans, a t shirt and a gun. MOO
They used assault rifles, variants of the .223-caliber AR-15 rifle, both showed signs of having been illegally modified. OM used a legally purchased assault weapon as sold.
The couple turned part of the house into a bomb-making factory. ..... where they found 12 completed pipe bombs ........... and a stockpile of thousands of rounds of ammunition.,
In their home they found several issues of Al Quada "Inspire magazine. In one edition , they used the how to make murder weapons section with the emphasis on the feature article , “Designing a Timed Hand Grenade,.” This piece had step-by-step instructions for making a delayed igniter with a Christmas tree lamps. Christmas tree lights were found in the home. Apparently they did not follow the instructions in the publication in that these failed to work as promised in the terrorist publication.
They found another edition of the publication in the home. Apparently they subscribed! From this edition they focused on the feature which provided schematics on making remote controlled devices, which can be activated by remote control, from the car These ISIS terrorists were hoping the devices would blow up emergency personal upon their arrival by activatig them from their car. Multiple copies of the Koran was found scattered about their home.
I might guess Omars reading selection was the monthly gay travel guide! MOO
The San Bern folks went to great lengths to destroy their electronics. and tried to erase their electronic footprints, smashing etc... using a.“burner phone,” meant to be used for a short time and discarded, OM left his phone at the scene, aparently not concerned if authorities got thier labs on it.
In OM home they found pictures of the family on the fridge, western wall hangings, , and a couple of rooms decked out in the American motion picture Star Wars motif. There was an abundance of American perfumes, a closet adorned in Western clothing. MOO
The living room had very typical furniture found in homes across this nation. In the kitchen there was wide assortment of Kellogg's cereal products. In the sons rooms what would probably be considered, by many, was a spoiled child. MOOHis room was abundant in toys all American children enjoy. .
Americas addiction to baseball caps adorned the child's walls. A poster with the slogan "Be someone you would be proud to be" with 4 American children jumping for joy, in American attire was on Omar's sons wall. We should also take note of the weights on the floor and his attendance to the gym. IMO They assimilated to our culture. I do not know but I do not think Muslims are that into gyms.
During their attack they posted on FB their allegiance to ISIS. This was one of the first copy cat things OM did that night - he also posted an allegiance to ISIS on his page. The second copy cat deal he used was that there were people outside wearing vests (like the Paris attackers). He also copied the Boston folks by claiming there were bombs outside.MOO

MOO
Unlike OM , at no time did the San Bern guys get confused with "whom" they were going to die for that day.
IMO, there is no correlation at all. This was a ,IMO a mass shooting.
