Blade, Thanks you put into words what I was feeling.I think it's a damned shame that we are forced to live in a world where somebody that doesn't know you can blow you and your family to smithereens . That kind of stuff happened in Africa or Asia, now it's here. I am having second thoughts about the NSA listening to conversations. It's a crazy world we live in!

Saltwind, here's the deal:
Nicholas Thalasinos, a Messianic Jew, was one of Syed Farook's co-workers. While at work at the IRC facility a couple weeks prior to the attack, Farook and Thalasinos got into a heated discussion about Islamic fundamentalism. Over the two weeks, this confrontation continued with Facebook posts, phone calls, and emails. And, at the Christmas party, they got into it again, face to face. This is what tripped Farook's trigger. He left the party in a huff, went home, got his wife, arranged a baby sitter, they armed up, went to the party and attacked. Along with 13 others, Thalasinos was killed.
Based on the weapons, ammo, pipe bombs, bomb making materials, and Islamic Jihad literature found in Farook's home, we now know that the Farooks were planning something much bigger than just an attack on a Christmas party.
Thalasinos should have been more cautious about riling up an militant Muslim, they have such short fuses. Doesn't take much to set a rabid animal off.
I suppose if there is any good to find in this, it would be that the Farooks are no longer able to carry out their bigger plans. Might have resulted in a much greater loss of life.
