\"The
These are the faces of evil. Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik stoked a dark silent hatred into mass murder. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He was 28 years old and a successful professional. His wife was a pharmacist who weighed a whopping 90 pounds. The two of them had a six-month-old daughter and no known nefarious affiliations, criminal records, or suspicious travel habits. However, on December 2, 2015, these two archetypal terrorists committed senseless premeditated cold-blooded mass murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Farook\u2019s father was a drunkard and a bully. His mother fled with the three children to escape his physical and emotional abuse. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Syed Rizwan Farook was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1986, the son of Pakistani immigrants. Farook\u2019s father was abusive towards his mother, and his childhood was difficult. He graduated a year early from High School and subsequently earned a degree in environmental health. On a dating website, he listed target practice as one of his hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Farook was well-acquainted with the victims of his pitiless rampage. This unflattering driver\u2019s license photo was shot in 2013, two years before the attack. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Farook had worked for the\nSan Bernardino County Department of Public Health for five years and knew his\ncoworkers well. Two weeks before the Christmas party he had attempted to\nexplain to a coworker how Islam was a religion of peace. He was a dedicated\nSunni Muslim who had completed the hajj to Saudi Arabia in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Tashfeen Malik met Farook online and came to America ostensibly to marry him. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Farook\u2019s wife Tashfeen\nMalik was a native of Pakistan but was raised in Saudi Arabia. She held a\ndegree in Pharmacology from the Bahauddin Zakariya University and had attended\nan intensive 18-month Quranic study at an all-female religious academy. Farook\nand Malik met online and were married in 2014. She passed three aggressive\nHomeland Security screenings before being allowed to enter the country on a K-1\n(fianc\u00e9e) visa. Malik was a deeply committed practitioner of her faith, wearing\nboth a burqa and niqab and encouraging others to do likewise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The Inland Regional Center is typically used to serve individuals with developmental disabilities and is the very manifestation of altruism. On December 2, 2015, Farook\u2019s coworkers had rented a conference room for a professional workshop and annual Christmas party. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The couple dropped off\ntheir infant daughter with Farook\u2019s mother claiming they were going to a\ndoctor\u2019s appointment. Farook then went to the Inland Regional Center, a\ngovernment-funded non-profit multi-use facility, dressed in civilian clothes\nand carrying a backpack. He lingered for two hours but seemed distracted\nthroughout. He then consulted his phone and got up to leave. Before departing\nhe posed for photographs with his coworkers. He abandoned his day pack on the\ntable near his seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
This is the gun belt one of the shooters wore during the attack. Note the two 30-round magazines taped back-to-back. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At around 11:00 Farook and Malik approached the facility, now dressed in black and heavily armed. They wore tactical vests carrying spare magazines but had no body armor. Outside the building, they shot and killed two of Farook\u2019s coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
One of the shooters\u2019 victims had fled the likes of this to come to America in search of a better life. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over the next three minutes, the two terrorists fired about one hundred rounds and killed fourteen helpless civilians between the ages of 26 and 60. Three of the victims were refugees who had come to America from Iran, Vietnam, and Eritrea to escape persecution. They wounded another twenty-two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The activated sprinkler system made the chaotic scene extra horrible. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Almost all of the victims\nwere shot in the back. One man was killed while shielding a coworker with his\nbody. Three men attempted to intervene but were gunned down. One round struck a\nsprinkler in the building and activated the fire suppression system,\ncontributing to the visceral chaos of the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
ISIS hates pretty much everybody. The two terrorists aped their ISIS mentors\u2019 black uniforms. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eyewitnesses reported that\nthey recognized Farook based on his habitus. We can therefore only assume words\nwere exchanged during the shooting. Witnesses also reported that they\nrecognized the second shooter as female based upon her tight clothing and small\nstature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The first officers on the scene entered the building without hesitation intending to engage the shooters. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first police officer\nwas onsite three minutes and thirty-two seconds after the initial 911 call. The\nfirst four LE officers responded appropriately by entering the building\nimmediately and sweeping it for the shooters. They rightfully ignored the pleas\nof the wounded, instead prioritizing the neutralization of the threat. The San\nBernardino SWAT team happened to be nearby on a training exercise and arrived\neleven minutes after the initial call. 57 minutes later the last of the wounded\nwere evacuated to area hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Here\u2019s a screenshot from Al Qaeda\u2019s Inspire<\/em> Magazine. These freaking losers apparently put out a regular instructional periodical on how to murder innocent people. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rucksack abandoned by Farook contained a series of three pipe bombs primed with Christmas lights and wired into a radio-controlled car. Apparently Farook got the plans for his IED from Al Qaeda\u2019s Inspire<\/em> Magazine, an online DIY terrorism manual. These devices were intended to be detonated upon the arrival of rescue personnel. They failed to explode and were later neutralized by a bomb disposal team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shootout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
Farook had rented a Black Ford Expedition like this one with Utah plates to be used during the operation. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Farook and Malik escaped\nthe scene in a rented black Ford Expedition. A witness to the shooting fingered\nFarook as the shooter, and police identified the rental SUV in short order.\nPlainclothes officers set up surveillance at the terrorists\u2019 home and spotted\nthem leaving some four hours after the attack. Roughly half the world\u2019s cops\nthen closed in on the two fleeing psychopaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The two terrorists had loaded their vehicle with ample weapons and ammunition. Authorities postulated that the Inland Regional Center massacre was but the first act in a larger series of attacks. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During their attempted\nescape the terrorists threw a dummy pipe bomb out of their vehicle at pursuing\nofficers. Police eventually stopped the vehicle in a residential neighborhood.\nFarook and Malik exited their respective sides of the SUV and immediately engaged\nLaw Enforcement officers. Their movements seemed coordinated and professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The final shootout was brief, violent, and gory. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seven LE agencies were\ninvolved in the final gun battle. 23 officers fired 440 rounds, and the\nterrorists answered with 81 rounds of their own. When the dust settled both\nterrorists were dead. Authorities found nearly 2,500 rounds of .223 and 9mm\nammunition unused in the vehicle. They also discovered medical supplies and the\ntrigger for their failed bomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guns<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
Farook\u2019s S&W M&P rifle was accessorized and modified to circumvent California\u2019s ludicrous assault weapon rules. This legal gun was bought illegally and then illegally modified by the criminal who used it to do illegal things. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Farook carried a Smith and\nWesson M&P AR-15 rifle that he had tried and failed to convert to full\nauto. His M&P sported a 16-inch barrel, flash suppressor, and forward\nhandgrip along with a cheap red dot optic and single point sling. If you look\nreally closely at the photograph of the gun you can just make out the autosear\nhole that was apparently drilled improperly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Farook died clutching this two-tone Springfield Armory pistol. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Farook\u2019s sidearm was a\nSpringfield Armory XDM 9mm with a stainless slide. The images of the weapon taken\nimmediately after the fight show it to be fairly battered. The weapon\npurportedly malfunctioned as Farook attempted to kill approaching officers\nafter he was gunned down. The images of the gun show it with the slide\npartially retracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Malik\u2019s Panther Arms A-15 was an inexpensive no-frills AR-15 variant. Not unsurprisingly, the murderers had illegally modified this weapon as well. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Malik\u2019s weapon was a\nlow-end Panther Arms A-15. This weapon lacks a forward assist and ejection port\ncover. Her gun also has a railed forend, flash suppressor, vertical foregrip,\nand cheap optic. The back half of the optic appears to have been shot away at\nsome point during the gun battle. Her weapon was originally equipped with a\nbullet button that the criminals had disabled. Both weapons were fed with\nplentiful standard capacity 30-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Malik\u2019s Llama 1911 was retrofitted with aftermarket grips. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The woman\u2019s sidearm was a\nLlama XI-B 1911 in 9mm. This is a Spanish-made 1911 pistol with a\nCommander-style slide fitted with aftermarket wraparound grips. The weapon as\nphotographed in the aftermath of the shooting appears to be in Condition 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Farook amassed his collection of guns over a period of years. No amount of regulatory minutiae could have interdicted this. That of course did not stop Leftists from the President on down from screaming for further ineffective gun control laws in the aftermath of this senseless tragedy. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These four weapons reflect\na shooter who is obviously familiar with the equipment but operating on a\nfairly tight budget. Farook accumulated his weapons over the course of three\nyears using a neighbor as a straw buyer for the rifles. He had illegally modified\nboth of the long guns to circumvent arcane California gun laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commentary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
If your religion involves some loser like this telling you to go murder innocent people you\u2019re likely attending the wrong church. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What possible darkness\ncould possess two young parents to abandon their 6-month-old daughter and\nsacrifice their lives to slaughter a building full of innocent people? Not\nmeaning to seem overly judgmental but if your god demands stuff like that you\nmight quite possibly be worshipping the wrong deity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
American Muslims expressed outrage over the shooting. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Farook\u2019s family as well as\nlocal and national Muslim organizations vehemently condemned the couple\u2019s\nactions. American Muslims subsequently raised more than $150,000 in support of\nvictims\u2019 families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
A timely and aggressive Law Enforcement response prevented this tragedy from being any worse. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This operation was clearly\nmonths if not years in the making. The terrorists accumulated the equipment and\nmeticulously planned the attack. Had it not been for timely interdiction by Law\nEnforcement this horrible tragedy would have been all the more horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Here\u2019s the simple, easy-to-use flow chart the state of California produced to help its citizens determine if their black rifle was legal or not. Oddly, these two black-hearted murderers seem to have ignored all this stuff. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a lifetime of study, I cannot intelligently articulate the sundry details of California firearms law. Suffice it to say that the San Bernardino shootings illustrate the ludicrous nature of trying to regulate the actions of a psychopath via legislation. Bullet buttons, bayonet lugs, magazine restrictions, and scary features seem awfully silly in this context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denouement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
I honestly don\u2019t know what the Koran teaches. I\u2019ve never studied it. However, inciting racial hatred is one of the primary goals of ISIS. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you peruse the source\nmaterial of some of these radical Islamist groups you will find that fomenting\nxenophobia against Muslims is one of their central tenets. By creating anger\nand violence against Muslim minorities they expect to fuel an uprising and\nfurther their own recruitment and radicalization goals. Skepticism and\nvigilance are necessary for our cultural survival, but racially-fueled hatred\ntoward particular people groups feeds into our enemy\u2019s dark mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
With three years to plan, I could have bought one of these, taught myself how it works, and scratch-built my own weapons. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Given the lead time these two animals had, I could have procured the machine tools, taught myself to use them, and built my weapons literally from scratch. Absolutely no amount of draconian gun control legislation will ever affect lunatics like this in a nation that already has 393 million firearms in circulation. To believe otherwise is simply magical thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
This is the absolute only thing that could ever stop an attack of this sort in its tracks. Mind that trigger finger there, stud. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the final analysis, the only thing that could have influenced the carnage at the Inland Regional Center that horrible day would have been an armed civilian or three. The cops arrived three and one-half minutes after they were called and responded perfectly, yet fourteen people still died. Sadly, the state of California had ensured that no one present had the means to defend themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Great State of California saw to it that these two radicalized psychopaths had an unfettered killing field. Down here in the Deep South where I live guns are pretty much everywhere and we tend to get along surprisingly well. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
Responding officers in San Bernardino seemed to be armed predominantly with stainless Ruger Mini-14\u2019s. City planners likely felt these weapons seemed less threatening than some others. The criminals did not seem thusly encumbered. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, shooting guns and claiming it was work seemed like a pretty sweet hustle. As a result, Will serendipitously transformed an avocation into a vocation. Raised in the Mississippi Delta, Will flew UH1H, OH58A\/C, CH47D and AH1S helicopters operationally as an Army Aviator. He is SCUBA-qualified and has parachuted out of perfectly good airplanes at 3 o'clock in the morning. Will has summited Mount McKinley, Alaska, six times\u2026always at the controls of an Army helicopter, which is the only way sensible folk climb mountains. Will has delivered sixty babies and occasionally wrung human blood out of his socks. He is married to his high school sweetheart and has three awesome adult children. Turn-ons include vintage German machineguns, flying his sexy-cool RV6A airplane, Count Chocula cereal and the movie \u201cAliens.\u201d www.word-monkey.com Experience: -Professional Writer-thousands of publishing credits for dozens of titles -Mechanical Engineer\/Practicing Physician -Instrument-rated Commercial Pilot -Sunday School Teacher","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.word-monkey.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/will.dabbs.9","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/drwildmanmd\/"],"url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/author\/willdabbs\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/dabbsbernardino-9-150x84.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130295"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":186790,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130295\/revisions\/186790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130295"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=130295"},{"taxonomy":"hunt365","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hunt365?post=130295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
