These self-radicalized ISIS killers really seem to have great overlap with the troubled "shoot your workplace" American rampage shooters.

We know projections of posthumous publicity & spectacle motivate these people (obviously with suicidal ideation as well as desire to kill.)

That's why fitting deranged shooters (obviously not unheard of in the USA) into a grand clash of civilizations narrative is not a good idea?

Now we have morbid fascination with every detail of San Bernardino shooter's lives. It's an illusion of understanding. It won't help much.

Look, SB shooters left infant with grandma to go mass murder. It's... deranged. Detailed profiles won't provide coherent answers for future.

(Meaning we can't just look at details of lives of SB shooters and build a model with a reasonable signal/noise ratio to catch individuals).

New parents are so unlikely to commit mass murder/suicide that *ISIS* imposes birth control on fighter's wives. SB shooters break all molds.

@thegrugq Add "shoot up workplace" with high-power weapons which is sadly such an American thing. Merger of pathologies & crises. :-(
