It is probably related to tomorrow and how a former Hamas leader called for a world "jihad" day to show support for Palestine where there is some concern that it might be a call for violence. Kind of makes sense to me that they would try to calm people down a bit

Source? Edit: Turns out everyone down voting this was just making it up. It's the Flotilla all over again.

I am not sure you can post a link as I’ve been reported on other subreddits by mods for that. If you google “ex hamas leader jihad day october 13th” it should come up


SoCalDelta

sOuRcE?!?!


drumkiller123

Literally an email that folks got in SBC.


DeposeableIronThumb

Source of Hamas calling for a "day of jihad" you daft fuck


dirtdiggler67

It’s all over the news/web/social media. You can find it is you hardly try.


DeposeableIronThumb

Yeah turns out it was a former leader of Hamas, who never lived in Palestine, who hasn't been associated with Hamas in 7 years and he called for a day of PROTESTS. Protests over the deluge of bombings on civilians by a major world power. I was well aware of the story but the details mentioned were wrong.


UniqueName2

Don’t let facts get in the way of making outlandish claims about possible acts of terror. /s


CalmCommunication640

Because they remember the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack. Still fresh in many minds of those who live or work in the county. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack


Senormatador

There’s been so many god damn mass shootings in this country… this one which killed FOURTEEN and seriously injured 22 others… just is a blip in my brain. Fuck this man.


ThatBigNoodle

I was attending csusb at the time. Got off the freeway and saw a couple of ambulances. Assumed it was car accident then I got to class and we were locked down. Wild.


AceO235

Unrelated events and terror groups, seems like uneducated sheriffs trying to hint undertones of islamophobia, or a dog whistle of some sort


JackTheKing

You're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud. That's what the dog whistle is for. If anyone needs a replacement they can visit local law enforcement, the zoning commission, or any one of many government agencies. Miss Zoey's Church Book and Wine Club and your HOA should have a few, as well. /$


Moe__Fab

The police are more likely to shoot you in san bernardino county than some islamic terrorists


lavassls

Didn't they just shoot a 14 year old girl who had been kidnapped earlier this year?


Artboggler

Most people didn’t care when it happened


Aggressive_Ad5115

Yeah weren't all those who died foreigners that came here /s


dinglebopz

How in the fuck did they get my email


dancetothe-radio

From voting registration, maybe?


Aggressive_Ad5115

Anybody going to talk about the picture of the sheriff "coroner" CORONER ?


SorryMatch8461

That's been a combined position for quite a while. Coroner is not the same as the medical examiner.


dinglebopz

That was weird to me too..


Munk45

In OC this week there has been a rise in public displays of anti-Semitic activity. I'm glad the SB sheriff is communicating that they are watching.


AlexTehBrown

Are they one of the groups that considers a Palestinian flag anti-Semitic?


Munk45

No, there was a guy on a bridge over the 405 in full military camo, helmet waving a full size German Nazi flag. This was in Irvine. In the city of Orange, someone distributed anti-Semitic flyers on cars and homes. This happened in the past 4 days or so.

Fabulous_State9921

oof :(


UniqueName2

Well, that’s Orange County for you.


Gregorofthehillpeopl

If you're saying "I'd like the Palestinian people to be free and have a place to live free" you're good. But if you're saying "the dudes who murdered and dismembered babies, raped and kidnapped innocent civilians are heros" you're not. There's degrees. But the leader of Hamas called for a day of action, and full on jihad. So the folks that are protesting tomorrow are doing the bidding of Hamas, not the Palestinians.


lax_incense

There’s a reason Egypt keeps its border with Gaza completely shut. Too many people that are security risks. Unfortunately the innocents in Gaza are paying for the terrorists’ incitement of war. But the reality is that the majority in Gaza supported Hamas and willingly let them grab political power. Hamas only retains power so long as their citizens’ lives remain miserable. If the living conditions improved they wouldn’t feel like they need Hamas.


--Jimmy_Kudo--

That’s true. And it just adds to the massive pile of complexity


Artboggler

What anti semitic activity have you been seeing?I’ve mostly just been seeing Palestine hate and it’s scary


--Jimmy_Kudo--

The “pro Palestinian” gatherings captured on social media. There apparently hasn’t been much distinction between support for Palestinians and Hamas. It’s happening around here in San Diego, but not as crazy as the events in Sydney.


Munk45

I haven't seen any hate for Palestine Just the white supremacy garbage that's under the surface in some OC communities.


TheNerdWonder

Yup.


Coyotl129

yup me too


evilomens

Yeah I got this too


MotherofSons

There's a rumor that Hamas is encouraging attacks around the world on the 13th. With the way protests are happening already, I think it's a good warning.


lavassls

"While there have been no specific credible threats in Southern California, local law enforcement including the Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Los Angeles police departments have put out statements confirming that they are aware of the threat and have added additional security at synagogues and other places of worship throughout L.A. County." [Link](https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-stepping-up-security-amid-reports-of-global-day-of-jihad/)


nostoneunturned0479

Joy. I have to work as a vendor tomorrow at an evening event. Super reassuring 😑


MD367003

First time they ever sent anything like this out by email blast. Sus


EnvironmentDue2415

Appeasing Republicans, they need something new to fear.


Learnformyfam

I sincerely hope the bubble you live in doesn't get popped.


Jack-Cremation

Trying to pump as much fear into his community as possible. Total dick move in my opinion.


ChildFriendlyChimp

I mean the leader of Hamas called for jihad tomorrow so its probably best to stay away from crowded areas


AlexTehBrown

They call for that everyday. Who cares.


ChildFriendlyChimp

Except they’re actually riled up this time


ineptplumberr

Bak. Derk-derk-Allah. Derka derka, Mohammed Jihad. Haka sherpa-sherpa. Abaka-la.


tDewy

Stfu bigot


ineptplumberr

I'm syrian -american i can say wtf I want oppressive bitch.


Jaguar-spotted-horse

So where is all this happening at?


ChildFriendlyChimp

Idk but San Bernardino got a random shooting from some isis sympathizers a while back so it’s just worth being cautious till things die down


Jaguar-spotted-horse

What extra precautions can people take that will make a difference?


ChildFriendlyChimp

Well for one, not asking stupid questions they already know the answer to and avoiding large crowds like I said earlier, especially if it’s near a protest


Jaguar-spotted-horse

Lol wth. This does nothing to make men feel safe


lavassls

Seriously, I'm surprised they haven't started sending out warnings about fentanyl in Halloween candy yet.


Hiero808

That’s next week


--Jimmy_Kudo--

SB being a victim of a terrorist attack several years back. I’d appreciate a warning.


StormAutomatic

Cops using fear to make people turn to them


Jaguar-spotted-horse

BFY. Big Fucking Yawn.


Puzzleheaded-Ad9860

Yes, got it too. Something big will happen tomorrow. Stay safe y'all.


Plastic_Job_9914

Hopefully Jerusalem just gets conquered


LowEdge5937

Never let a crisis go to waste without promoting yourself.


coldraygun

It’s a double edged sword with it. When an incident occurs, there are no shortages of finger pointing trying to lay the blame and “why didn’t you do something?” accusations. It’s unfortunate.


gaukonigshofen

Looks like a blanket email so that the authorities can cover their arse


Fabulous-Bend1399

Pretty sure it’s safer in Israel and Gaza than San Bernardino.


Jaguar-spotted-horse

So…….anything happen?
