ANOTHER MUZZIE MURDERER !!!!! LOS ANGELES — Police found bomb-making materials seven years ago in the home of the gunman who killed five people last week in Santa Monica, a school board official said on Tuesday. Police discovered the materials after John Zawahri threatened fellow high school students in 2006, Oscar de la Torre, a member of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified school board, told The Associated Press. Did school and law enforcement officials treat Zawahri with kid gloves then because he was Muslim? Did that lead to ignoring potential issues, be it family violence or mental health, that may have prevented last weeks shootings? The board was briefed by school administrators after police found Zawahri was learning to make explosives by downloading instructions from YouTube, de la Torre said. Sounds familiar. “It was some type of devices or materials that would be able to make explosives, and the word `pipe bombs’ was what was referred to,” he said. “If it was guns and stuff like that it would have been more serious, but because it was explosives, it wasn’t deemed `Oh my God,’ just that this guy had a fascination.” Zawahri wasn’t expelled, de la Torre said, but he never finished classes at Olympic High, a continuation school for students who have academic or disciplinary issues. Zawahri, 23, shot his father, Samir Zawahri, and his 25-year-old brother, Christopher Zawahri, on Friday, leaving their home in flames before shooting at strangers in cars and at Santa Monica College. De la Torre, who was a neighbor of Zawahri, said the gunman’s father told him he was having problems with his son eight months ago. “They didn’t talk to a lot of people, they were very reserved,” de la Torre said. “One time he did tell me he had problems with his younger son, knowing I work with youth. He never went into detail about anything.” Investigators were trying to determine whether problems in the Zawahri family played a role in the killings.
