JonStephen Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 I'll give you the situation............Since we are now at war and the likeliness of attacks on US soil are immenant, we are likely to inadvertantly come in contact with terrorists or supporters of terrorists.Now, if you see an arab acting a little shady given the nature of this situation what would you do. Remember, 99% of the time these people are regular US citizens, but now we are in a time of extremities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilo Beauty Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 What's your definition of shady? To me a shady person is tougher to spot. His hidden agendas are not going to be out in the open. This is going to open a whole new chapter in racism for the U.S.It's going to cause conflict among Americans against muslims and "arab looking" people. I don't think it's our job to keep a look out for these people. We should leave that job to the government. It's the best they can do since they already failed us once. -iliana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msoprano Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 good question but to bring even more racist to this world would just be a terrible thing........there is already to much racial profiling going on and to just increase it would be terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaxl Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 I think everyone's emotions are running pretty high right now and everyone is scared and just acting without really thinking logically. Just today my nephew was telling me they had a bomb scare on their block. They live in this small town (6.6 square miles) where the highlight of the year is the annual Memorial Day parade. Turns out some guy that had just moved into the house had thrown out an old smoke detector with a dying battery in it. You know how it makes that intermittent beeping sound until the battery is completely dead?? Well, some old lady that was walking by heard it and called the cops. They came rushing in, shut the entire street down and told people to stay in their homes. I don't know if they had dogs out there or not, but I can't imagine his town or mine for that matter (I live one town over) had bomb-sniffing dogs. It's scary to think that you could be walking down the street and someone with any preconceived ideas could take it upon him/herself to take matters into their own hands.

wallflour Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 In these unusual times, we should be careful but not fearfulI think the people on Flight 93 (the one which crashed in PA) have been (or should be) an inspiration to many of us for if we happen to get caught in such a situationNeedless to say, if you see something suspicious, then report it to law enforcement officials - that's what they're saying on the news.I think I've heard that vigilanteism (i.e. taking matters into your own hands) is not recommended.
