This post begs the question: Why are we dependent on someone else to be aware and make a report?
Isn’t what you say an avoidance mechanism to appear “tolerant” while whistling-past-the-graveyard?
Profile Muslims, NOW!
Hell ... they've already been profiled ... I'm beginning to think like the WW2 Japanese internment ....
The Bystander effect, someone else will do something, it's someone else's problem.
I may have mentioned this before. In Virginia you can't carry a gun into a church. Several years ago we had a pretty disheveled homeless looking guy walk in to church carrying a backpack one Sunday and make his way towards the front of the Church.
I always carry my Leatherman with me and while it is not much it is better than nothing. I made quick survey of the situation and told my wife that if I stand up she is to get under the pew and stay there until I come and get her.
The ushers managed to get him out with out an incident and he was just looking for a handout, but you have to stay vigilant no matter where you are.
