...fuelled fears that the attack could be a terrorist strike against Israel.

I think statements like this are just absurd. What difference does it make if it WAS a "terrorist attack?" Does that mean it MIGHT indicate there are terrorists who want to target Israel? LOL!

To me this is like the statements you read from time to time such as: "The murder is being investigated on suspicion that it might have been a 'hate crime'". What bullsh*t! What difference if it was a "hate crime" or not? The person is dead, and hate is everywhere.

Just PC semantics.

Huh? At yesterday's afternoon press conference, FBI Agent Garcia said Hadayet was definitely NOT on any watchlist.

I'll be interested in knowing how he got the Glocks and if there was a NICS check.

Has anybody thought to add these 'watched' arab moslem males to the prohibited list?

A senior Israeli official in Jerusalem meanwhile said Israel had "no doubt" that the fatal shooting attack Los Angeles was a terrorist attack.

I think we need an emergency Israel-US lend-lease program. We can start with the FBI, they desperately need to borrow a clue.

The person is dead, and hate is everywhere

I believe several persons are dead. Funny how you left out the victims.

....drip .....drip .....drip.

If we let out the information v e r y ..... s l o w l y the sheeple will be asleep and when questioned later, we can say, "All information was processed to the American people. Here's the proof."

So now he was on the FBI's "watch list." Apparently the FBI wasn't "watching." Two innocents were killed by a non-citizen who was allowed to stay in this country even though he was on a "watch list." Why isn't every single person on the FBI's "watch list" been deported?

Maybe he should have been on the FBI follow list. Or the FBI stop if he has a gun and is heading to the airport list.

Personally I think the FBI should just have one list, Shot the piece of $hit list.

Sounds like a terrorist incident is getting like a “Hate’ crime, only certain people can commit a ‘Hate’ crime.

Good question.

Liberals.

Hadayet.net An Islamic site completely In Urdu having material in audio, visual and video modes. Hadayet.com What is this?

"Witness accounts indicate that no words were spoken," by the gunman before he opened fire, Ron Idem, assistant special FBI agent in charge, told reporters

This also is an important piece of info. There is lots of misinformation going around that he was in some sort of argument before he shot.

As far as being on a watch list, that was reported Thursday night. Garcia seems to be two things, one a moron, but second a PR agent who spews meaningless drivel.

Reports said his wife and children were currently in Egypt and that a search was underway for other relatives.

How much do you want to bet that the authorities in Egypt give his family a substantial reward?

Why isn't every single person on the FBI's "watch list" been deported?

Because we are a nation of laws, including those which govern immigration. We have entire law firms whose primary business is immigration work, including fighting deportation. If someone has a green card, deporting them (if they choose to fight it) can take years.

I have an in-law who is a Canadian citizen, although she's married to an American and has worked here for years. Her daughters are American citizens. Should the decision of some person at the FBI to put her on a "watch list" cause her to be immediately deported and break up that family?

I agree that we are not deporting a lot of people who may be a potential threat. But we need to change the laws. It would be nice if we could talk a Democrat into sponsoring a bill to toughen up our immigration laws. If a Republican did it, they would be branded as racist.

I like your style...... Does the government do anything that is warrants an "A". Spends large more amounts than private sector & then feeds you lies like this incident is not being terrorist in nature. My estimate of gov is that it's 57% effecient and spends 163% to get that figure.

This guy is on an FBI watchlist and was able to purchase guns and obtain not one but two driver's licenses? I suppose the FBI was too busy watching those 80 Americans in Waco and later burning them to keep a good eye on this one. Besides, he's a foreigner and political correctness instructs the FBI only to watch American citizens.
