California governor declares emergency in response to San Bernardino attack

California Governor Jerry Brown on Friday declared a state of emergency in San Bernardino County, following the massacre by an Islamic State-inspired couple at a holiday party for county workers.

Because the 14 people killed and 26 wounded in the terrorist attack were largely employees in the county’s environmental health department, the massacre left San Bernardino County with too few health inspectors and others needed to carry out critical work, Brown said in his emergency proclamation.  

Declaring an emergency will allow the state to send in health inspectors as replacements until the county is able to resume normal staffing, Brown said.

The declaration also allows the state Office of Emergency Services to provide other assistance to the county as needed.

As part of the declaration, Brown also ordered the suspension of all fees normally charged when residents request a death certificate or seek to bury someone.

The Dec. 2 attack was carried out by a county restaurant inspector, Syed Rizwan Farook, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, at the offices of the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, where environment health department employees had gathered for a meeting and holiday party.

Prior reports had listed the number of wounded as 21, but Brown in his declaration cited 26.

  1. Yeah, Linda Ronstud (’cause she’s the only one in the conversation with nads) called Governor “Fruit loops” and said “I tawt saw a tewwerist!”

    Now that Governor Brown(noser) has declared that he “wet his pants” and needs a “diaper change”, everyone, be sure to be on alert!

  2. “As part of the declaration, Brown also ordered the suspension of all fees normally charged when residents request a death certificate or seek to bury someone.”

    Now THAT’S interesting… makes sense, actually.

    No need to charge fees for corpses that don’t exist.

    1. Careful what you say about Gov Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown [bah ha ha ].

      Thru most of the 70’s and 80’s I was in So Cal…yeah :/

  3. OMG!!!! John McStain introduces Lindsey (light in the loafers) Graham Cracker for POTS and “audio difficulties” cut out that c#*k$u^r’s opening statement. How precious is that!!!! (Looks like there could have been a Bush in the bushes.!!!!) 😆

    There is a God out there, thank you.

  4. State of Emergency required – to cover up the San Bern debacle. Too many “facts” and dangling loose ends out there currently.

  5. The emergency is dealing with eye witnesses who claim the shooters were unmasked, tall, athletic White men when government people now claim the shooters were Middle Eastern Muslim extremists.
