Media Pushes Into Farook's Apartment, Rifles Through Everything There 12/9/2015 Surreal: Media pushes into Farook’s apartment, rifles through everything there; Update: “I am so shocked, I cannot believe it”; Update: MSNBC apologizes « ... Home Archives Ed Morrissey Show Newsletters Surreal: Media pushes into Farook’s apartment, rifles through everything there; Update: “I am so shocked, I cannot believe it”; Update: MSNBC apologizes posted at 2:01 pm on December 4, 2015 by Allahpundit Share on Facebook 286 286 SHARES Uh, isn’t this still a crime scene? The FBI says they’ve finished their work there, but… In a phone call with Grasswire, a spokesperson for the FBI field office in Los Angeles confirmed the agency finished their investigation at the apartment on Thursday. But law enforcement officials at other agencies said the building was still an active crime scene. “I don’t know what’s going on,” Deputy Olivia Bozek, a spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department told Grasswire by phone. “That is not a cleared crime scene. There’s still an active investigation going on.” The FBI’s in charge of the investigation so if they say it’s clear, presumably it’s clear for all agencies. Let’s hope: If the cops find out later that there were more than two people to this cell and they want to go back and look for the third suspect’s fingerprints or DNA inside Farook’s home, they can forget about that now. At last check at around 1:30 ET, not only were cameramen from various news outlets walking around inside, but seemingly random people off the street were too. One guy was caught on camera walking out with a popsicle. Supposedly Farook’s landlord let the media in, but he’s claiming that he didn’t allow it and that they simply “rushed” in. (Another report claims that Inside Edition paid $1,000 to get inside.) Then there’s this. http://hotair.com/archives/2015/12/04/surreal-media-pushes-into-farooks-apartment-rifles-through-everything-there/ 1/27 12/9/2015 Surreal: Media pushes into Farook’s apartment, rifles through everything there; Update: “I am so shocked, I cannot believe it”; Update: MSNBC apologizes « ...

Kate Mather Follow @katemather Here is a list of some of the ammo the FBI seized, part of a 4-page receipt left in the house. 12:40 PM - 4 Dec 2015 47 15 The “best-case” scenario is that the press is luridly publicizing sensitive information, including presumably innocent people’s personal data, for no better reason than that it’s lying around at a major crime scene.

For instance, what if Farook’s wife was using his mother’s driver’s license as fake ID? The cops will need that later. This is what makes it hard to understand how the FBI could have cleared the scene. Wouldn’t they want all papers, identifying documents, credit card statements, etc, inside the apartment? They can’t possibly know all the information they might need for the investigation after 36 hours. They left this stuff behind presumably because it’s of no use to them now but with the understanding that it’d still be there for them later if they needed to look again. Here’s video via the Free Beacon. Stand by for freaky deaky updates, as this can only end with reporters ordering a pizza from Farook’s living room. MSNBC takes viewers on tour of California terrorists' ap... Update: Via the Blaze, CNN’s police analyst is in total disbelief. Landlord invites media into apartment of San Bernardino... Update: A correction’s in order. That wasn’t a man with a popsicle at the scene. That was Telegraph reporter Toby Harnden with a screwdriver. http://hotair.com/archives/2015/12/04/surreal-media-pushes-into-farooks-apartment-rifles-through-everything-there/ 4/27 12/9/2015 Surreal: Media pushes into Farook’s apartment, rifles through everything there; Update: “I am so shocked, I cannot believe it”; Update: MSNBC apologizes « ... Toby Harnden Follow @tobyharnden Orange screwdriver, that I used to assist the landlord. But otherwise close. twitter.com/ggreenwald/sta… 2:20 PM - 4 Dec 2015 8 8 Update: A friend on Twitter notes that some documents might have been left behind simply because they’re beyond the scope of the first search warrant. Right, but what about the second or third as the investigation develops? Update: Here’s Harnden again: “The house was stuffed full of documents, notebooks, photos, business cards, IDs – incredible trove.” Ace’s co-blogger Drew McCoy makes a good point too. How likely is it that a judge would have authorized only a very narrow warrant after a major terror attack? Obviously the warrant would be broad to help the cops piece together exactly what happened. Update: Bingo. Andrew Stiles Follow @AndrewStilesUSA MSNBC yesterday: Stop implicating all Muslims in terrorism!

Maybe a watch list? And if you're on it, you lose your First Amdt. rights? 2:15 PM - 4 Dec 2015 285 289 Free speech is a deadly weapon. We should regulate it to keep out of the hands of people who don’t know how to use it, no? http://hotair.com/archives/2015/12/04/surreal-media-pushes-into-farooks-apartment-rifles-through-everything-there/ 5/27 12/9/2015 Surreal: Media pushes into Farook’s apartment, rifles through everything there; Update: “I am so shocked, I cannot believe it”; Update: MSNBC apologizes « ... Update: Maybe the FBI can buy back any important evidence once it goes on sale on eBay. Update: I believe Gabe Malor’s right about this. Typically, state laws don’t allow landlords to enter a tenant’s apartment without the tenant’s permission or until the lease is up. Unless the lease says otherwise, i.e. that the landlord may immediately reenter upon the tenant’s death, it’s not clear that he had the right to open the apartment up to the public. At least without the permission of Farook’s next of kin. Update: A superb point from Sean Davis. Only within the past hour or so has the FBI formally announced that it’s treating the San Bernardino shooting as terrorism. How could they have possibly cleared the crime scene when they didn’t even have a theory of the crime yet? They wouldn’t have known exactly what sort of evidence to look for. Update: A half-apology from MSNBC. They’re not sorry for being there. They’re not sorry for having possibly contaminated or destroyed evidence. But as for showing innocent people’s IDs on TV, well… Ashe Schow Follow @AsheSchow Full apology from @MSNBC on showing identifying info on air: 3:27 PM - 4 Dec 2015 48 39 Share on Facebook 286 286 SHARES Tags: CBS, farook, jihad, landlord, malik, MSNBC, redlands, San Bernardino Related Posts: NBC: San Bernardino jihadis were preparing for the attack for “at least a year” Was Obama’s ISIS speech on Sunday a “failure of tone” only?

Home Today's Pick Reviews Top 5 Categories Contributors Search News Home U.S. World Politics Business Sports Entertainment Sci/Tech Health Odd Video REVIEW: ‘Atomic Jihad’ An Important Look at Iran & Obama by John P. Hanlon Over the past several years, many major movie stars have appeared in films about the war in Iraq. Even though many of those movies, including the recent “Green Zone,” failed dismally at the box office, movies like that film arguably received more credibility and publicity because of the well-known stars and directors who worked on them. For the ”Green Zone”, that included stars Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear and the movie’s director Paul Greengrass. One would only wish that these same celebrities would focus less on criticizing U.S. policy in Iraq and focus more of their attention on the stories that are not being told about what is going on today in Iran. I recently had the opportunity to watch a new movie that focused on Iran entitled “ Atomic Jihad: Ahmadinejad’s Coming War for Islamic Revival and 1 of 9 3/30/2010 11:36 AM Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » REVIEW: ‘Atomic Jihad’ An Important... http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jhanlon/2010/03/25/review-atomic-jih...

Everyday talk, of course, is not bound by such procedural rules. Yet in normal conversations we often engage in a form of discursive dismissal. When faced with discomforting claims our instinct is not to engage in reasoned deliberation over them. Instead, we frequently brush them aside without considering their merits. By delegitimizing the claim as entirely unworthy of substantive public deliberation, we need not reason over it. Yet despite being a ubiquitous part of everyday conversation, this broader understanding of dismissal has not been independently identified or assessed.
