38. There was an interesting interview a local LA station

Fri Dec 4, 2015, 12:42 PM

Dec 2015

broadcast with a man who was a neighbor. He said neighbors noticed a constant stream of packages being delivered to the home and the couple working in the garage late into the night. He said the activities seemed somewhat suspicious, but because the couple was of Middle Eastern descent, the neighbors were reluctant to stererotype them and did not notify authorities. As a longtime resident of the melting pot that is So. Calif., that is entirely plausible. The live and let live attitude of the populace and tendency to not get to know one's neighbors gave the couple the cover they needed to plan and ultimately carry out the attack.

And for anyone who sincerely questions whether this was terrorism, I have some proverbial ocean front property in Arizona that you might be interested in.
