That's pretty much the entire crowd..

That's why you have to add the racial profiling.

 

[HeavyPetter]

Perhaps he's saying anyone running from an explosion is suspicious. Makes sense to me.

Uhhhh . . .

 

[P4nthers11]

That literally makes no sense.

 

[DEACisGO]

I completely understand this course of action.

Vigilante justice! :tard:

I suppose I have to point out there was sarcasm within my post. It's ludicrous to tackle the entire crowd, it's ludicrous to tackle someone solely due to ethnicity, especially in a part of town full of various ethnicities from around the world.

So any Arabic looking dude is a suspect?

No, but an Arabic looking dude that is running from the scene is obviously going to draw attention to himself. He either runs and possibly gets tacked and detained, or he sticks around and possible gets his ass kicked by an entire crowd of people.

It's going to be human instinct for many people to profile in this case.

Haha sorry mang, it's hard to distinguish what's sarcasm vs what's really stupid sometimes (ie denver's post). I apologize.

From what I can remember of my response to terrorism class, most of your bombers or terrorists are more likely to have an almost unnatural infatuation with the event. They're more likely to want to see the fruits of their labor than run away in a crowd. Unless they're an idiot, they're going to know how far the blast range will be, and typically are well clear of it by the time the bomb explodes.

 

[Liquid Karma]

Most of them.

I do find it amusing that one of the posters who is creating the more politically motivated tags would be the first in line to bitch about others using a tragedy like this to make a political point.

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I'm tackling the dude that is just calmly walking away from two explosions. That mother fucker is up to no good.

 

[DeacHead]

Gov Patrick speaking now. He says only 2 explosives were involved, period. Anything else that was thought to be an explosive was not.

 

[DeacHead]

Oh good lord the mayor is speaking...

You may be right, which along with the small matter of TWO BOMBS GOING OFF, that would help explain why the dude was running from the scene. But that doesn't make the racial profiling right -- not that you were saying it did.

Now comes the most annoying and stupid of the aftermath. A bomb thread called into Duke University.

And then there are those who use these bombs as their ticket to 72 virgins. Completely stand by what I said. Some funny holier than thou posts about this (some think mine are crazy) Bottom line is you have a Arab guy running from a double bombing, he is definitely a suspect.

I know, heaven forbid anybody should get involved and try to help, right?

I think all white people running from bombs are also suspects.

Right, because in those situations the mob mentality is known to be very rational and lucid.

Tackling an Arab isn't helping. Comforting the victims and giving basic first aid IS helping.
