Not sure the ethnicity is relevant, after all it's quite possible for migrants/Arabs to be in dispute with authorities over a domestic/family issue and then escalating it into a mass shooting.

Oh yeah not relevant at all when we are trying to find places for Syrian refugees.

As in not relevant to the reasons for the attack, rather than what politicians/media will latch onto for controversies purposes.

QuoteMultiple media outlets are reporting that one of the gunmen has been identified as Syed Farook. It's unclear if Farook was one of two suspects killed during the manhunt.

According to public records data, Farook was employed by the state in San Bernardino County in 2012 and 2013 as an "Environmental Health Specialist." He was also listed as "Business Taxes Representative" for the state of California in 2013.

There we go. Ex-employee out for revenge.

Meh, doesn't mean it's Islam-related terrorism. 

Saw he's a US citizen.  They're allowed to lose their asses over non-Islam-related bullshit.  Hell, could've converted to Islam in prison for the Muslim meal accommodation.  Why yes, I'll have the halal lamb surprise, PBUH.

That little asshole at UC Merced a few weeks ago had an Islamo-name, and he was trying to kill people over getting kicked out of a study group.

Random US citizen goes postal he doesn't team up with 3 buddies who all own Kevlar to do it.

That's true. I'm not really getting a terrorist vibe from the guy, either. Here: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/12/02/police-id-suspect-in-san-bernardino-massacre-as-syed-farook.html

QuoteFarook was a business taxes representative for the California State Board of Equalization, according to his LinkedIn profile. He is a 2003 graduate La Sierra High School, and most recently studied finance at California State University Fullerton until 2013.
[...]
Behind Farook, was a brightly lit home with low-slung sectional couches and boxes for appliances. The smell of basmati rice cooking came wafting through the door. A set of women's thong sandals outside of the security door.

He does have a beard, but it's a normal one--he also has a mustache. I think it's quite possible that the original story is true and he just went postal.

An ELF attack.

Target is just weird. Even cdm christened white bread militias won't stoop that low.

Well, it's not like you'd have to chase anybody down.  I mean, not as far, maybe.   Or for very long.   We're not talking drafting at Bristol, is what I'm trying to say.   Hell, you know what I mean.

I'm not saying it wasn't planned, just that it's not Islamo-related.

Yeah him getting his brother and a lady friend to do it does add an unusual twist to the usual disgruntled employee script. But it is still possible.
