How did this story get covered in the mainstream media?

I'll show you the front page of the newspaper of record in Calgary today. Big story about Leonardo DiCaprio at the top. Their main story is about traffic court. Seriously.

If you look on the left hand side of the page, you can see a microscopic mention: “Bouncers tackle gunman at Beltline night club." That’s it.

If you go to the story inside the newspaper, you have to read all the way down to the 25th paragraph before you get to the name of the accused • the two Mohameds.

If a naive, politically correct assumption falls in the concrete jungle... will anyone even acknowledge it? (via sda)

Mohamed Najdi, 28, a Crips gang member well-known to police, was shot dead in what homicide detectives believe was also a gang-related and targeted killing. His home was shot up just last week.

Najdi's death is Ottawa's first homicide of 2016 and fourth shooting of 2016. The Ottawa police major crimes unit is investigating and no arrests have yet been made.

Read the Ottawa Citizen link... it seems that Mohamed & friends are part of significant criminal syndicate in our nation's capital.

Rather than having Dr. Carl Emond - an award winning vascular surgeon who was working at the hospital on the day in question - attempt to save the man's life, he was sent by ambulance to the MUHC "superhospital" where he died before having the operation.

"You don't have time to be transferred to another hospital" the staff member said. "You don't just stop doing a surgery."

NatPo has more...

What is especially galling, say hospital staff, is that a highly regarded surgeon was on duty at St. Mary’s on the day the man walked into the ER complaining of abdominal pain. The surgeon wanted to operate but told the ER team that he was no longer allowed to perform such operations. The patient, in his mid-’70s and at that point unconscious, was turned away, transferred to an ambulance and rushed to the "superhospital" of the McGill University Health Centre. He arrived at the Glen site, but died before he could have the surgery.

The FAA told them all to start over. But this time, when they applied for a job, their college degrees and previous military experience would mean nothing.

They would now compete with thousands of people the agency calls “off the street hires”; anyone who wants to, can walk in off the street without any previous training and apply for an air traffic control job.

The Liberal Legacy in Ontario

Ontario, historically an engine of economic growth in Canada, became a “have-not” province in 2009-10 and began to receive equalization payments for the first time. Since then, the province has received more than $14 billion in equalization payments, contributing to rapid growth in the size of its overall transfer envelope.

Ontario’s fiscal problems have emerged because the provincial government has failed to restrain its spending growth.

As a result, the province has continued to spend more than it takes in, running persistent budget deficits even as increased transfers continued to pour in from Ottawa.

If police could have stopped bus-beheader Vince Li, or PATH killer Rohinie Bisesar or mugger Calvin Nimoh before they murdered innocent bystanders... would it not have served the greater good?

"She held up her purse in front of her as Yatim came at her with his knife and she says she recalled feeling the thud of the knife against her purse."

“I need you to know that Yatim was dangerous,” she told the jury after she broke down crying on the stand."

Sammy Yatim was yelling about pussies and niggers as he chased passengers up the streetcar aisle. When confronted by armed police officers, he refused to put down his weapon and he reaped the inevitable whirlwind.

Watch the video where batshit crazy Sammy saunters down the streetcar with his penis in one hand and a switchblade in the other. No one on scene that night was gonna miraculously banish whatever snakes were swimming round Sammy's brain that night.

Already, the province provides coverage for gender transition-related surgeries including orchidectomies (removal of testicles), penectomies (removal of the penis), vagioplasties (reconstruction of the vagina), mastectomies (removal of breast tissue), hysterectomies (removal of the uterus) and oophorectomies (removal of the ovaries).

Thing is, you don't even need the surgery to change your sex...

Manitoba will no longer require proof of transsexual surgery in order for someone to change the sex designation on a birth certificate or birth registration.

TORONTO - A 39-year-old cancer researcher went out for a walk near Ryerson University Tuesday night and was stabbed to death in a violent robbery. A spokesman at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research confirmed Ernsting was an employee. “He was a senior biomedical engineer in the Drug Discovery Program.”

For the last couple years, he also worked as an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Engineering at Ryerson University.

Homicide Det. Paul Worden said Nimoh was “known to police.”

"At least 80 aboriginal chiefs and band councillors made more money last year than Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and at least 200 were paid more than their provincial premiers, according to newly released federal figures."

Remember, one of Justin's election promises was to repeal audit controls on the billions of dollars given to aboriginal chiefs.

Speaking of "financial relationships"...

The Musqueam band in 1995 tried to raise the rent to $36,000 a year, which sparked a legal battle that ended up in the Supreme Court of Canada. That court determined “fair rent” at six per cent of the current land value and capped the rents at $10,000 a year.

The Liberals had promised the lost revenue from their “middle-class tax cut” would be offset by a new tax bracket for income of more than $200,000. Federal sources confirm the numbers do not balance, which will add to government deficits in coming years.

Of course, it turns out this particular election promise will actually cost Canadians 2 billion dollars. Don't worry, though... the Liberals have an answer for that... they assume you'll run down to Walmart and spend your share of the "tax cut" on plastic lawn furniture and cheap sweatpants, which, in my humble non-cabinet ministerial opinion will actually stimulate China's economy much more.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau added that the middle-class will “invest” the proceeds of the tax cut in the economy, predicting it will stimulate growth across the country.

Let's review Justin's record so far.

Today's killings in San Bernadino, CA took place because a County Employee who was Muslim went berserk over Pork being served at the Christmas Party event!"

"The prohibition of pork in Islam is derived from the following verse of the Qur’an:"

“Forbidden to you are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.”
[Al-Qur'an 5:3]

(For the record, I have no idea what "undead meat" might be... but it sounds a little off-putting... not that I would ever commit mass murder because of it.)

The way the two jihadis were uber-prepared to go to war suggests that they were just looking for the right reason to spring into action.

Local law enforcement reports that they found thousands of rounds of ammunition and a dozen IEDs (and supplies for making more) at the shooters home, which suggests something may have set them off prematurely before they could put together an even deadlier attack.

But what if pork products at the "holiday" dinner were actually the causal event that sparked this mass murder?

If this article is credible does this mean the end of the corner delicatessan as we know it? Will we soon see a ban on pulled pork sandwiches in Lotus Land?

UPDATE: Could it be that simple?

Is the mainstream media just too politically correct to report that all these people died because a devout adherent of the "Religion of Peace" went homicidally ape over bacon rolls?

This certainly makes it seem like there was another – much bigger, more significant – attack planned, and that for some reason Farook lost his shit and decided to shoot up his co-workers in a fit of rage. That also makes it believable that this was a case of premature detonation.

I guess we'll see.

The most interesting part of all this...

...is watching Hussein Obama and the liberal media... unlike Farouk's own father... tapdance around the "M" word...

Mr. Farook’s father also identified his son as “very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.”

That seems pretty clear to me.

Apparently, though... not to everyone...

At the White House, President Barack Obama said after meeting with his national security team that it was "possible this was terrorist-related" but that authorities were unsure. He raised the possibility that it was a workplace dispute or that mixed motives were at play.

A recent Kean graduate has been charged with being responsible for a series of tweets threatening black students at the school two weeks ago, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace H. Park announced Tuesday.

Kayla-Simone McKelvey, 24, of Union – a black alum who graduated in May – was charged by summons with third-degree creating a false public alarm.

McKelvey left a campus protest midway and walked to a computer station in a university library to post fake hate messages...

The first message around 10 p.m. said "kean university twitter against blacks is for everyone who hates blacks people" and a tweet about there being a bomb on the campus, and then continued with several other tweets about shooting black students at the university.

After making the posts, McKelvey returned to the rally and spread awareness of the threats, authorities said.

Note that McKelvey was also the school's 2014 homecoming queen and president of the Pan African Student Union. So this isn't some impoverished, uneducated street thug from the projects... this is an example of the best & brightest the New Jersey black community has to offer. More to the point, the liberal media was all too eager to take the initial story of vile racism and run with it.

Prosecutor Milan Rupic has been using the fact that Officer Forcillo's partner reholstered her firearm to suggest that she didn't see Sammy Yatim as a threat.

There's just one small problem with that argument...

"I thought that based on Mr. Yatim's behaviour and actions that he was going to get himself shot," Constable Iris Fleckeisen said. "He was hostile, angry, belligerent, and he was very defiantly and prominently displaying a knife in his right hand."

Fleckeisen provided her own interpretation of that moment, saying Yatim made a "very deliberate, intentional motion forward" in the moments before he was shot. "Mr. Yatim looked like he was coming off the streetcar," she said, adding that Forcillo's shots were consequently not unexpected.

Fleckeisen says she actually reholstered to call for a taser. She also says...

"That night was and remains the most terrifying moments of my life."
