I don't mean to hijack your thread here, but I felt like dropping this little bit of summary I had sitting around.

Sandy Hook, San Bernardino and Orlando shootings share some interesting things in common.

---

1) FBI investigated these guys months before the events took place.

Sandy Hook:

New reports have revealed that the FBI had suspicions about Adam Lanza eight years before he committed the second-deadliest mass shooting in American history. The FBI reportedly went to the Newtown, Connecticut home that he shared with his mother Nancy in 2004 and asked about his computer activity but left before even sitting down with the then-12-year-old. Newsweek reports that FBI agents went to the family's Yogananda Street home because they had tracked Adam online after he hacked through two layers of government security.

San Bernardino:

In a disturbing twist, authorities revealed that a year before the rampage, Farook’s co-workers at the county health department underwent “active shooter” training in the same conference room where he and his wife (Farook and Malik) opened fire.

“ISIL inspiration may well have been part of this, but these two killers were starting to radicalize towards martyrdom and jihad as early as 2013,” the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, using an acronym for the Islamic State.

He said that the “investigation to date shows that they were radicalized before they started courting or dating each other online.” (...) Mr. Comey said the conclusion came from “data” and intelligence that American authorities had obtained.

Orlando:

But G4S told Reuters Gilroy didn't file any complaints against Mateen and that it had screened the shooter twice, checking his criminal record and verifying his ID. Mateen was interviewed by the FBI twice, in 2013 and 2014. The Guardian reported G4S did not test Mateen again after learning about his FBI interactions.

Now check this out:

FBI determined after two interviews with Omar Mateen in 2013 that his claims that he knew Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Boston Marathon bombers) were invented.

That was in 2013, but then Mateen made the SAME statements in his 9-1-1 call during the shooting in 2016. Really!?

At 2:22 a.m., Mateen placed a 9-1-1 call in which he mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers—Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev—as his "homeboys" and made a reference to Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, who died in a suicide bombing in Syria in 2014.

2) It's always a certain type of rifle and pistol, which happen to be standard issue for SWAT.

Sandy Hook:

This comprised 154 shots from the rifle and two shots from the 10mm pistol. Lanza fired one shot from the Glock in the hallway and killed himself with another shot from the pistol to the head. (...) On December 15, 2014, nine of the families affected by the shooting filed a lawsuit against the manufacturers of the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle used in the school attack.

San Bernardino:

Forty-nine people were killed and 53 wounded when Omar Mateen opened fire at a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. He used at least two guns, a Sig Sauer AR-15-style assault rifle and a Glock handgun.

Orlando:

According to one of the hostages, Mateen entered a bathroom where people were hiding and opened fire, wounding several. The hostage, who had taken cover inside a stall with others, was injured by two bullets and struck with flying pieces of a wall that was hit by stray bullets. Mateen's rifle then jammed briefly, at which point he switched to using a handgun.

The two semiautomatic rifles were versions of the popular AR-15 model, according to San Bernardino officials. One was made by DPMS Inc., and the other by Smith & Wesson. The Smith & Wesson rifle was changed in an attempt to enable it fire in fully automatic mode, while the DPMS weapon was modified to use a large-capacity magazine, she said.

3) Media allegations of mental illness.

Sandy Hook:

In later medical and education records, the authors saw repeated references to diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. Lanza's anxiety and social-emotional problems worsened as he got older.

As for Adam, "It looks like there's mental history there," the law enforcement source says.

San Bernardino:

Mr. Marquez (family ties to Farook) is also said to have mental health issues. Shortly after the attacks, he checked himself into a mental health facility in California. He has not been charged or detained.

Orlando:

Meanwhile, Mateen's ex-wife, Sitora Yusifiy, told the Washington Post he was abusive. “He was not a stable person,” she said. “He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that.”

4) Hints of corporate / government ties.

Sandy Hook:

Adam Lanza's father Peter Lanza was Vice President of Taxes for GE Financial Services. GE is a multinational energy conglomerate.

San Bernardino:

Farook was an environmental health specialist working for the local government. He graduated college with a degree in this field of work.

Orlando:

Omar Mateen worked for G4S, a huge private security firm. The British government exclusively contracts G4S for security.

5) Friends/family members in shock, did not see it coming.

Sandy Hook:

The Lanza family has been 'shaken to the core' and have not even been able to meet as one to talk about what happened, Peter's sister-in-law Marsha Lanza said. She added that they, as much as the police and families of the victims still can't understand how or why the massacre happened.

San Bernardino:

Farhan Khan, Farook's brother-in-law, told reporters he was at a loss, too. "I have no idea why he would do something like this. I have absolutely no idea. I am in shock myself," Khan said.

Farook's relatives knew him as conservative but didn't think he or his wife were extreme, according to the family's attorneys. "He was a normal guy," Abuershaid said.

Orlando:

Mateen said he saw his son on Saturday afternoon, about 11 hour before the shootings. His son just popped in to say hello and didn't stay long. Omar Mateen acted normally, the father said. The son never gave any indication he wanted to kill anyone, Seddique Mateen said, adding that he would have turned in his son to authorities if he knew what was going to happen.

Some questions you may want to be asking.

• Why did Farook, according to reports, leave abruptly in anger from the business party before returning with Malik and guns blazing? And after that the police tracked them to their home in Redlands, 15 minutes from the location... So let me get this straight, Farook left the party, returned with wife to shoot the place up, then retreated back to their home for some R&R? Sounds more like they never went back to that party after Farook left the first time. Gonna need some surveillance videos because this one is not adding up.

• Isn't it curious how Farook and Malik met in Saudi Arabia?

• Why was Malik cleared for a special 90-day "fiancee" visa to come to America? Must have took pulling a few strings to get this kind of hasty entrance into the country, what with the airport security and heightened terrorism alert these days.

• Why did the FBI hand over Malik/Farook's iPhone to an Israel company for decryption? What did they really want from Apple, a backdoor into all their devices, or were they making sure no evidence floated up into the iCloud that could later be traced back to an FBI informant?

• Why did SWAT wait 2 hours before entering PULSE nightclub in Orlando?

• Why did Omar visit his father Seddique 11 hours before the shooting? Why was his father later seen at a Democratic National Convention rally, sitting right behind Hillary Clinton in a paid seat? If Omar committed one of the largest acts of terrorism on US soil, why is his father Seddique not a suspect or person of concern? Instead his father is invited into the country and paraded around in our media as a kind of friendly Mario mustache character pushing the gun control agenda for the DNC. And this man is running for president of Afghanistan. What the HELL is going on here?

• Who is Adam Lanza's brother, Ryan Lanza?

• Why did the Sandy Hook victims' families create a lobby (HONR network) to fend off investigative research and "conspiracy theorists"? HONR accuses investigators like Wolfgang Halbig and James Tracy of crossing the line and ruining the victims' lives, but instead we see the opposite happening - Halbig and Tracy are being targeting and having their lives / careers ruined by trolls and "unknown parties".

• Why weren't any of these mass shootings prevented? What's the point of mass surveillance, counter-terrorism and airport screenings? What's the point of citizenship? So much for the "improvements" made to security after 9/11.

• Why is Omar Mateen's wife Noor Salman still missing according to Attorney General Loretta Lynch? Where is she? Why did she disappear right after making controversial statements to the media? What else does she want to tell us?
