Interview Highlights
– “We’re going to see more of these (attacks like in San Bernardino), unfortunately..With the world we live in, these events should have been a surprise…By all appearances, this was an attack that was inspired over the Internet and was not one that was directed by ISIS central, if you will.”
– “They’re (ISIS) urging this through the Internet, through Twitter. They put out about 90,000 tweets or re-tweets a day. They’re trying to find some receptive ears to this message and it appears that in San Bernardino they found that.”
– “I don’t think we need more guns on the streets in this city or in this country. I am concerned about the wholesale increase of people carrying guns (in the U.S.). By definition, they are not going to be particularly well-trained…If you have a tumultuous situation where someone who is not well-trained take out a gun, you can compound that mayhem. Just imagine what the percentage would be if you significantly increased the number of people who had guns and who were not properly trained.”
