Very hard to make any comment more crazy than the headline itself. https://t.co/zP7ZjyLiZJ

The terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif. that left 14 people dead and nearly two dozen more injured happened one year ago. ABC World News examined what might have “triggered” the attack (brace yourselves):

Via ABC News:
Authorities believe the terrorist attack on Dec. 2, 2015, in San Bernardino may have been triggered by a mandatory employee training session and lunch replete with holiday decorations, including a Christmas tree, that shooter Syed Farook was forced to attend.
Emails discovered by the FBI and police reveal Farook’s wife, Pakistani native Tashfeen Malik, objected to the Christmas setting and was upset her husband had to go.
A short time later, 14 people were killed and 22 others injured when Farook and Malik opened fire at the meeting with assault rifles.
Well, that’s one way to frame it.
So we're really doing this? https://t.co/NeYZlifp8r

Apparently so, but the reality is:
NO…the terrorist triggered the terror attack! https://t.co/59WYZiAMaA

It must not be politically-correct enough to put it that way.
@ABCWorldNews @BrianRoss It was jihad. A ham sandwich could have "triggered" it. #FakeNews

You've got to be kidding. They were stockpiling weapons and bombs for quite some time. This is an idiotic story. #Media https://t.co/PD2kP1pFHi

@ABCWorldNews @BrianRoss Soooo… We're blaming Christmas? Or Christmas parties?

Don't host Christmas parties this year, guys. You might be responsible for the deaths of 14 people. https://t.co/AKLmhhoarT
