Shocking that all it takes is a supposed FB post made under an alias to decide somebody with a Navy vet brother who allegedly shot up the people he knew at his workplace did it because he was an ISIS-loving terrorist.
It's as if we are all in a gullibility experiment and the test is how little sense something has to make and how little evidence needs to be presented for us all to jump to the exact same conclusions.
12 of the 14 victims were the shooter's co-workers. What, other than spooky FBI leaks and Muslophobia, makes this sound like a murder motivated by geopolitics or religion to you?

Three U.S. officials familiar with the San Bernardino, California, massacre have told CNN that the woman involved in the shooting authored -- as the incident was occurring -- a Facebook post declaring her loyalty to the leader of ISIS.
Tashfeen Malik's post pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was made on an account with a different name, according to one U.S. official.
The officials did not explain how they knew Malik made the post. ...
'Nothing ... out of the ordinary'
Like her husband, Malik wasn't on any list of potentially radicalized people, and there was no evidence linking her to any terror groups overseas prior to news of the Facebook posting. "There was nothing to show that she was extreme at all," Abuershaid told CNN. "She was a practicing Muslim, she believed in the religion, and she was just doing the five prayers a day, the fasting... there was nothing to show that she was out of the ordinary. "
Abuershaid said there was nothing to show she was responsible for radicalizing her husband. Malik was of petite stature, which led David S. Chesley, an attorney for the Farook family, to assert that she was an unlikely gunman in the San Bernardino attacks. "She was never involved in shooting. She's probably about 90 pounds, so it's unlikely she could even carry a weapon or wear some type of a vest or do any of this," Chesley said.
What their landlord said
"Once we rented the property, we don't bother people," Miller said. "They seemed like gentle-minded people. I guess you can't judge a book by its cover."

Today lawyers for the Farook family cast doubt on the reports of the ISIS pledge and said that there hasn’t been any real evidence that the couple has any “extremist tendencies.”
“None of the family knew of him as being extreme, aggressive or having any extreme religious views,” one of the attorneys said.

In 2007, she returned to Pakistan to study at Bahuddin Zakri University in Multan and stayed until 2012, according to a Pakistani intelligence official. She was said to be a brilliant student and was not known to have religious or political affiliation while there.

Earlier Friday, Farook's brother-in-law insisted the slain suspect was an observant Muslim but not a "radical" and never gave any indication of what may have motivated him and his wife to launch a terror attack with four guns and explosives. ...
Relatives have described Farook and Malik as a happy couple who gave no outward sign of being Islamic fanatics. They even registered at Target before their baby daughter was born.
