    Nope, the comment was very ignorant.

    If the "3 Arabs" were affiliated with a terror regime that a country was harboring, then yeah, they'd get bombed. But 3 random Arabs? Who would get bombed?

    Dumb comment from you

    Reading comprehension fail. The tweet doesn't condone bombing America, like at all. Bombs have nothing to do with it, it's advocating a response so a significant problem.

    If they were American Arabs we'd bomb some country in the Middle East?

    If the target is the Inland Regional Center, I don't know what the motivation could be, especially if there are indeed multiple shooters. Even for an ISIS terror attack, it doesn't make sense to attack a social service for the disabled.

    We invaded Iraq over Saudi bombers. But, this whole line of conversation is rather pointless. HCPG's (whoever they are) little tweet doesn't offer anything constructive.

    Sounds like gang-bangers doing a hit on one of their enemies, or perhaps their family members.

    Fortunately California is a state with tight gun control laws, so the perps were not able to get or use guns. Oh, wait....

    They found a bomb in the building.

    I tend to think it has to be a dissatisfied employee or customer. Don't see why anyone not close with the Center would think of attacking it.

    It's not known if it's a bomb or not yet.

    I just heard on the radio that they were about to use a battering ram to gain access to the building. I hope we don't have another hostage massacre occurring.

    If it is not confirmed, then why is it being reported.

    Yeap. Getting it right = awesome for them. Getting it wrong = another day in breaking news reporting.

    Funny how the news media still thinks it's 1950 in that regard...like being first really matters in the world of 24 hour news and social media. It so often leads to horrible, horrible reporting.

    Fortunately, Arizona is a state with open carry laws, so perps can buy lots of guns in AZ and drive over to CA or Chicago or anywhere in this great land but Alaska or Hawaii.

    Seems like no place is safe

    We are extremely lucky the idiot shooters didn't have machetes instead of guns. That would have been a catastrophe

    We can put white males in internment camps.

    Also, it's too early to say the ethnicity or how shooters are justifying their shooting. Could be Arab, could be European-American, could be any ethnicity or category really.
