My suspicions are that this was a test run to see the response to an attack to refine future attack plans. Just like there was the Charlie Hebdo attack, then the Thalys train attack, and, finally, the Paris attack.

I dont know what to feel anymore and Im sick of the violence. But I know Americans wont change the violent gun culture we live in. Britian, Canada, Australia, and other Western nations went through big reforms after some bad shootings. But America stay on its deadly path.
I dont think I can raise a future family here.

(26,549 posts)Way oversimplifying: you have to be young or very well paid or otherwise special (ex. famous scientist).
Canada has to get something out of you moving there. Young means they get decades of taxes. Well paid mean lots of taxes over a shorter timeframe. Something like being a famous scientist means they benefit from you training their scientists.

(3,051 posts)Is not my strong point, let alone from another language. Looks like you can spell it however you want in English, though:
Sayyid (also spelled "Seyd", "Syed", "Sayed", "Sayyed", "Saiyid", "Seyed" and "Seyyed" (pronounced [ˈsæjjɪd], or [ˈsæjjed], Arabic: سيد?; meaning Mister) (plural Sadah Arabic: سادة?, Sāda(h)) is an honorific title denoting males accepted as descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his grandsons, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali, sons of Muhammad's daughter Fatimah and his son-in-law Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib).

MosheFeingold
(3,051 posts)Three guys =
Not crazy (they can't get along to do it)
Not disgruntled worker (never three that pissed and crazy)
Not a pissed spouse
It means:
Terrorists
What brand of terrorists (left wing nut, right-wing nut, Islamist, or perchance some other random religion) is normally a matter of speculation, but given I've seen the name of a suspect with an obvious Muslim name about 10 times now, I'm not going to be PC about it.

This was very professional.
Aside from wingnuts (unlikely because of ethnic shooters seen dead on street) the only logical choice outside of Islamists would be some sort of Mexico cartel or gang thing, which wouldn't surprise me in that town. It's rough.
The "Sayeed" name is all over the foreign press.
wordpix
(18,652 posts)Just b/c it's a federal bldg. and the cartel wants to send a message to the USA? Doesn't make sense.
MosheFeingold
(3,051 posts)But there could be a witness there, or someone was running drugs through there, or whatnot.
It's looking more-and-more that the early indication that this was ISIS is correct, to me.
They like to hit targets like this for pure shock/evil value. Remember their goal is to cause an invasion of the Levant by all the countries of the world, where they will be saved by the Iman who appears magically from the well (or something equally stupid).

(11,945 posts)which is what the Oklahoma City bombing was.
The San Bernardino site (Inland Regional Center) is a government office (probably state or county) and the clientele (disabled adults) and activity (office party) would make it a very easy target.
If it's anti-government, it's most likely rightwing perps.
FreeState
(10,579 posts)Regional centers are nonprofit private corporations that contract with the Department of Developmental Services to provide or coordinate services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities. They have offices throughout California to provide a local resource to help find and access the many services available to individuals and their families.
There is an autism service priced in that building.

(11,945 posts)Lots of good information there. While there very well may be children associated with the services, a diagnosis of autism does not necessarily imply a child. When autistic children grow up, most do not lose their autism.
