I am hearing that the shooters are described as being Middle Eastern, and that one of them has been identified as a Farud Said. If this is true, the mainstream media will likely ignore their nationality, and blame the guns. Or, if they have been in the country for more than a week, they will be labeled homegrown terrorists.
The BBC are reporting that there are 14 dead, and at least 14 wounded...horrific... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34987697
I'm watching it but have not heard anything about the race of the suspects. Where did you hear that, Ken? I just listened to the police conference. The 3 suspects could be anywhere now....it's been 3 hours. I'm watching it on Fox.
It's not on any major news outlets yet, and I don't know that it's true, which is why I reported it as something I had heard. If it turns out to be true, the media will do its best to avoid having to report the facts. We'll just have to wait and see. If I get something I can link to, I will. So far, I am just hearing from someone who is in San Bernardino, and he says that the media is refusing to report the Middle Eastern connection. I have a new spelling of the name of the one person who has been identified: Farooq Saeed.
Thanks, I've never heard of these not mainstream media outlets, are they reliable? If what they say proves to be true, I may add them to my news sources.
Welll the BBC are definitely Mainstream...albeit not American, and they are reporting it as fact from ABC news..
Fact that they identified one suspect, Holly? Farooq Saeed? Very scary that there are 3 armed suspects in California or anywhere by now!!
No sorry Chrissy no names , just fact that the shooting has taken place...although they are saying that although ABC are reporting the number of fatalities and injured , the police as of yet haven't confirmed it..
Ok, thanks....yes, I've heard 14 dead and that there might be more in the building but that's not confirmed.
Yes, the mainstream media is surely reporting on the incident, and our president has already blamed the guns, but the media are not reporting what was broadcast over the police radio, that the suspects were Middle Easterners and that one has been identified as Farooq Saeed.
I'm just hearing that police are in pursuit of suspect vehicle. Gunfire from vehicle....one person dead, don't know who. Also don't know if its connected to the shooting. A policeman may be down. One suspect on run, on foot. Officer is okay they are saying now....and suspect down, still don't know if related.
