More Terrorists Reportedly in San Bernardino….

One male in custody, but potentially five more out there….

A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people…

Neighbors in Redlands were shocked that the suspects had ties to their area.

“I was in awe that it was happening four houses down from my property,” one neighbor said.

A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people.

“We sat around lunch thinking, “What were they doing around the neighborhood?” he said. “We’d see them leave where they’re raiding the apartment.”

These weren’t lone wolves. Note that there is something about predators, and men on missions. It is the difference between Steve Martin in The Jerk and Daniel Craig’s James Bond, and when your amygdala sees it, you won’t know why, but it will catch your attention. If you notice it, know that your brain has flagged it for ancient evolutionary reasons, carefully culled for over millions of years. Trust the mechanism’s powers of discernment, and probe a little deeper. We are all going to have to relearn how to listen to that little voice in the back of our head.

This guy’s amygdala weighed the angst produced by being labeled racist vs the angst produced by seeing an attack, all while calculating the risk of each into the equation. The angst produced by the consequences of being labeled racist multiplied by the likelihood of it happening was greater than the angst of seeing an attack, multiplied by its likelihood.

As we see the horrors of attacks in the future, the variables in that equation will change, as we become K-ified as a population
