F. B. I.: Calif Case Study
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — The couple who the police say killed 14 people and left 21 wounded here had stockpiled thousands of rounds of ammunition and a dozen homemade pipe bombs in their home, officials said Thursday, a sign that they might have been planning further attacks.

The F.B.I. is treating the Wednesday shooting as a potential terrorist act, though the agency is far from concluding that it was, two law enforcement officials said.

The suspects’ extensive arsenal, their recent Middle East travel and evidence that one of them had been in touch with people with Islamist extremist views, both in the United States and abroad, all contributed to the decision to refocus the investigation. But officials emphasized that they did not know what

Such a paradoxical situation is the result of scarce financial resources to fund the penitentiary system at both the federal and local level. In order to reduce the pressure on the penitentiary system at the federal level, the decision to transfer the prison population to county jails or to release the prison population sentenced for minor crimes. Thus, AB 109 was introduced. AB 109 implied the transfer of a part of the prison population to county jails and release of inmates sentenced for minor crimes. To define those inmates, who could be released, the state authorities attempted to categorize inmates depending on their crimes and sentences. In such a way, they attempted to identify the least publicly dangerous group of inmates that could be released to ease the pressure on the federal and state budget.…

    Morality is the essence of right and wrong and becomes very hard to define because of the different ways people view what is correct and not. It is a common theme in many novels, such as Peace Like a River by Leif Enger, who explores the essence of moral decisions through a young boy whose brother is convicted of murder. Though the moral level of a decision is based on the impact inflicted on surrounding people and the motives best decide the virtue behind an action, no one can be the judge of morality because everyone holds different opinions that can vary three hundred and sixty degrees on the scale of right and wrong.…

    There have been many acts of war in the past that are similar to the attacks that we call acts of terror today. This is the reason why there are various definitions of terrorism, there are those used by the U.S. government, there are the general definitions that one would find in the dictionary, and there are those used by other countries’ governments. Many of these definitions say that terrorism is an act of violence perpetrated against civilians and are meant to coerce a government. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as ‘the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.’” (Ridgeway, 2011). The FBI has different definitions regarding domestic and international terrorism, they are not much different and they carry…

    At one point before the attack, an FBI agent had showed surveillance pictures of one of the suspected terrorist to a CIA agent but the CIA agent did not give any feedback to the FBI agent about the pictured man being a suspected terrorist. This was due to the fact that the CIA agent was not authorized to share information with anyone outside the agency in regards to the subject matter. In another case, a Phoenix Field Office FBI agent had prepared a memo regarding a possible effort by Osama bin Laden in sending potential terrorist to aviation schools within the United States. In an unrelated case a month later, the FBI Field Office in Minneapolis had launched an investigation on Zacarias Moussaoui. There was suspicion that Moussaoui was taking aviation courses to be able to hijack a plane. But because there was a lack of communication between the agencies, no major red flags were ever raised throughout the entire…

    Orlando Shooting in Florida: After watching this video on the shooting it left me feeling startled and upset, because it doesn't seem like your typical target for an attack: they were just innocent people living out their lives. Therefore it opens your eyes to seeing any place you go as somewhere that could become the next target. My definition of terrorism was the act of violence against people in order to be heard, and get your point across. I believe this connects with my definition because he did not agree with what they where doing so he went, and expressed that in a violent manner. In the article it states "Mateen's parents, who are from Afghanistan, said he'd expressed outrage after seeing two men kiss in Miami." This shows us that…
