CNN Law Enforcement Analyst Harry Houck expresses his disbelief that a landlord was able to allow the media into the home of the San Bernardino
shooters.
CNN's Stephanie Elam goes inside the home of the San Bernardino shooters.
Edit: The title of this thread, and the postings on CNN's YT Channel, as well as the video segment I saw are: Take a look inside the San Bernardino
shooters' home but it may as well be Watch the media compromise a crimescene. It's one of the oddest displays by the media Ive seen, and
figured it was worth posting. They were let into the killers home, and are tearing it apart like homeless kids at a toy drive. Wait,
no, those kids would be better behaved.
Edit: Just to be clear, they did investigate already! The cops were done with the crime scene. however, that being said the questions
the analyst, and also question I pose in this thread are: 'how do you know you are done?' there seems to be a lot of information left behind, the cops
might not even know everything they have. They would have to draw some pretty black and white conclusions to decide this premises is now totally
useless in their investigation (after a quick run-through). Im sure they took evidence, it just appears the potential for a lot more remains.

Link is now the top Youtube video, its Analyst Harry Houck speaking with Anderson Cooper, and he is visibly and verbally dismayed, drilling
authorities over handing over the crime scene to the media. Direct quotes and paraphrased quotes of the analyst:
"Im shaken" "Chills down my spine" "Evidence all over the place" "Totally destroying a crimescene which is still vital"
'Thousands of fingerprints compromising the crime scene' 'If the police are watching they need to get down here and stop it'
Above is a video of a CNN reporter inside the killers of the San Bernardino mass shooting. The top is Anderson Cooper recorded from a Live broadcast
with analyst Harry Houck and the Live segment was actually spliced between both of them, and with this reporter speaking inside the home, and they are
both describing how 'weird' the situation is. All these reporters who were just given the OK to basically ransack the place.
The analyst starts throwing a fit. "Detective 101" he says, "These people shouldnt be in there, the police should be fingerprinting the place, taking
the shredded documents and putting them back together, looking for finger prints among the documents, etc' -paraphrasing
It is extremely strange. Supposedly the police are done with their investigation, and handed over the premises back to the landlord. The landlord had
just retuned, and from their (news anchors) description, took a crowbar to open the unit, and allowed the media inside.
This is really confusing because 1) why wouldnt the landlord have secondary keys to the unit. And 2) how are the police done that fast with their
investigation? The anchor was right its weird, and it seems like theres a plethora of potential evidence in there.
Im wondering if this was a mistake, or someone tied to those responsible came back and opened the unit claiming to be the landlord. ?? Or maybe not,
maybe this is the extent of police investigations in this day and age.

I understand that the media intrusion was at the invitation of the landlord of the townhouse. The police and other agencies supposedly have made
their examination of the residence and they obviously took all the evidence they needed. Whats left behind is probably of no significance.
Just watched it on the BBC,it sure is strange,it's a crime scene,strewn with evidence,and they just let hoards in ?
what if i was a less than honest journo, and planted some extra evidence ?
what if people are arrested in connection, any half about lawyer could have it thrown out of court !
It's things like this that make conspiracy peps wet themselves !
OMFG!!! FURTHER PROOF that this is a set up and a gun grab agenda!!! Shocking is not even close to what I feel right now. My God how on earth could
this have happened? IF it had been a White male, this scene filled with evidence would have been locked down!
Simply no. Investigators have to keep the scene intact in case they discover another avenue of the investigation that requires further forensics
there. They may go back time and time again to collect evidence regarding a new part of the investigation. This happens all the time and is something
they plan for.
A negligent landlord I can understand. What is very surprising though is the plethora of items investigators have (conspicuously) failed to gather up
and take away in evidence bags.
This is no "accident".
It was intentionally done to ruin evidence.
The last thing Obama wants is for this to be called an act of Islamic terrorism.
Any good lawyer can now argue anything there was tainted or even planted and it will be thrown out of court.
