Second Shooter identified as Tayyeep Bin Ardogan Qatari citizen

[agnostic102]

I saw this on the washington post feed. But reading the article apparently the source is fox news. so please take with a grain of salt. I dont get it, if this was a isis type terrorist attack. Why shoot up a work place? Why not go down to the local mall and spray hundreds of people?

Only other thing i can think of is. He worked for a gov agency? and this was a terrorist attack on a gov agency?

(posted edited as the link was to washington times quoting a fox news source.) and iv been told washington times is basically a fox news clone so i removed the link untill we get other sources. sorry about that! im not up to date on all the different politicaly news paper ideologies lol.

Second edit (just spoke with my mom she speaks farsi, arabic and turkish. and she said that name from the way i was pronouncing it sounded turkish not arabic and it sounded like a hoax name as someone with that name would generally not be from qatar.) again she might be mistaken as it might have been my accent trying to pronounce the name to her but just thought id through this out there.

4. Washington times

Hey jay,

Sorry im not very familiar with the washington times. Are they a right wing newspaper? I saw the fox source in the article and thats when i realised that it be miss information. but it thought newspapers like NYT, Washington Post, Washington times etc were good sources.

7. The Washington Times is an extremely right wing site that will post anything

They are worst than the blaze in the sense that they don't even try to remotely verify anything. Usually they just copy off of various RW conspiracy forums and run with it.

11. holy shit

8. It's known as the Moonie Times. As credible as World Nut Daily or Fixed Noise Channel

Rev. Sung Myung Moon's vanity newspaper.

16. Wash Times is very right-wing.

It was founded and owned by Sun Myung Moon of the weird and extremely conservative Unification Church. Their editorial contributors include the particularly loathsome Frank Gaffney, Ted Nugent (!), Monica Crowley, and Ben Carson. So...

26. Very right wing. Only really trustworthy for local DC stories

For that, it's actually pretty good; for anything national you might as well be reading the New York Post.

25. Once in a while they slip up and post a fact

This would seem to be one of those times.

2. Isn't that the Turkish president's name?

Tayyip Erdogan is the president of Turkey. Bizarre spelling too. Is this legit?

[951-Riverside]

5. You're right! That was the first thought that popped into my head when I saw the name too n/t

3. Ewww Washington times? C'mon

6. 951

12. That name has been going around for a few hours

Sometimes with different spellings. We'll see

[fishwax]

13. that's the washington times feed, not the post feed. And the headline suggests it's a hoax.

14. link says it has been retracted

According to multiple news outlets late Wednesday, police named a second suspect in the San Bernardino shootings, but the reports were retracted.

The reports named a 28-year-old Qatari citizen named Tayyeep bin Ardogan as the second suspect, according to Fox News, the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Los Angeles Times.

22. That name has been floating around for 6 hours with no confirmation

I think FBI types try to roll up networks before revealing names because some people may flea as soon as a name is known.

15. People don't have dual (and more) motivations?

oh yeah, people DO have complex motivation.


Get to know how your mind works, it'll help you know how the criminal mind works as well.

18. "worked for a government agency" covers a lot of ground

from head of the CIA to assistant city librarian. In this particular case, it appears that the person in question was a county health inspector.

[agnostic102]

19. county health inspector?

Dont those poeple get bribed a lot? I wonder if he was taking bribes passing inspections and he was caught and this was a revenge attack? if thats the case it would be more work place then some religous attack.
