2 NY Officials Back Terror Check Profiling

Add Image Don't see any 80 year old white women in there

I don't want to put the whole article on this blog, you can click on the title for the link, but just a little bit about the story...

Middle Easterners should be targeted for searches on city subways, two elected officials said, contending that police have been wasting time with random checks in efforts to prevent terrorism in the transit system.
The city began examining passengers' bags on subways and buses after the second bomb attack in London two weeks ago. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have said several times that officers will not engage in racial profiling.
But over the weekend, state Assemblyman Dov Hikind said police should be focusing on those who fit the "terrorist profile."

A great quote: "They all look a certain way," said Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn. "It's all very nice to be politically correct here, but we're talking about terrorism."

And: "The reality is that there is a group of people who want to kill us and destroy our way of life," he said. "Young Arab fundamentalists are the individuals undertaking these acts of terror, and we should keep those facts prominently in our minds and eyes as we attempt to secure our populace."

How is this wrong. All the people trying to kill us are young Arab men. Why wouldn't we atleast keep that in mind when trying to stop terrorism.

If a guy named Bob punched you in the face every time you walked in the office...Wouldn't you keep a lookout for a guy named Bob...Would you really need to be looking out for anyone else...You could even look out for Bob's friends just to be safe..

It is okay to look at others too, it would be stupid to ONLY look at Arab men, but lets at least have the common sense to focus on them a little bit.

Here is a ridiculous quote: "Terror comes in all shapes and sizes, and certainly there's no legislation or system that's going to identify terrorists on the spot," Nasr said

NO IT DOESN'T...Look at my pic on the top of this post, look at the blog a few down about the religion of peace...a vast majority of terror is done by one group...

Lets not let the PC ACLU crowd take away our common sense and safety.
