So it seems that there were just two shooters in yesterday’s massacre: a man from Illinois and his wife from Pakistan. Since they are a couple and the man has mentally ill parents, it’s likely that that this is a story of mental disease in some sort of a folie a deux format. That would explain why the couple freaked out against a center that provides services for mentally disabled patients.
It has also been reported that Farook used to have a profile on a dating site for people with disabilities.
Unless a third shooter surfaces, I don’t think this can legitimately be classed as terrorism.

Weren’t there just two terrorists, also family members, one of whom had a clear record of mental illness, in the Boston bombing? 🙂

This doesn’t happen with siblings. Only married couples and, rarely, between a parent and a teenage child.

Are you not familiar with the famous “folie a deux” case of the Swedish twin sisters Ursula and Sabina Eriksson?

No, I’m not. I could buy twins in this context but the Tsarnaevs were not twins.

A Pakistani mail order bride who gave birth 6 months ago? This is hardly someone with a lot of agency of her own.

This was definitely a woman in a very vulnerable situation. What, she would have just said no to him? If he wanted a woman like that, he wouldn’t be importing a completely dependent bride.

The FBI has said they had been in contact with people under surveilance for terrorism.. so why would you not call that terrorism? Confused how you could say that??

I need to hear what is meant by “in contact” and “under surveillance.” The FBI hasn’t gone as far as saying they are terrorists.

I hope this at least will lead to the revision of the regulations on the importation of these mail order brides.
