    haha. My next door neighbor is from India and whenever he talks about Indians I ask the same thing. He busts out laughing and his wife always says I have upset the magic cow in the sky. They are awesome

    Sadly, I am already seeing articles with titles such as "The End To Complacency". They are already building a case for more restrictions on civil liberties.

    There is a weird irony in the fact that Americans are safer and more secure in their dailey lives than the majority of people in this world....and yet we tend to see "terrorism" under every rock. It is tragic when 3 innocent lives are lost, but in the middle east, africa, or south america this would be considered a slow news day!

    Mourn the individual victims, but let's keep a sense of perspective.

    I said "make fun of". Making fun of, and killing, are two very different things, no? That's just IMO, though. Feel free to disagree. :devilwink:

    Okay but in this scenario the racial profiling had nothing to do with "making fun of". The bomb went off and they picked up the first Arab they saw running from the scene.

    They ignored the many white peeps cause they would never do such a thing right?

    Mitch McConnell is using the word complacency. Fox is capitalizing. Here we go again into dictatorship.

    They didn't "pick him up." They interviewed him as a witness after he arrived at the hospital. Any "person of interest" or "suspect" talk came from the NY Post, not the police...

    Calling the NY Post the "press" is like calling ice dancing a "sport."

    The police searched the guy's house. Found nothing. A bit more than just asking him questions.

    That said, unless there's actual evidence beyond racial profiling, I think it's idiotic to try to guess who's responsible. Unless we're talking about union thugs (nobody's guess that!).

    Nobody's taking credit like it was a terrorist attack. Food for thought.

    I didn't see that they searched his house, just that they searched a house. Didn't they come out and say he was never a suspect, just a witness? Maybe I need to STFU, lol. Got a link where it says it was his house that was searched?
