Well I wonder what was in the van?
I was sitting in the lobby on the 8th floor of Marriott Marquis last Saturday. The Marquis is 1 of the largest hotels in Manhattan, huge mult-level underground parking lot and an Atrium in the center of the building that is 40+ stories high. It just seems like a building that could be brought down easier then most Manhattan skyscapers.
Nevermind the possible homeland security implications. WTF are college students at St. John's doing in midtown Manhattan with a van? I went to grad school in manhattan and I can't think of a single student that had a car nevermind a van.
So we allow jihadis on a watch list to just attend college.
Then what's the point of these lists?
Aw come-mon
They just forgot where they parked their cabs.
Nothin to see here, move on!
Also, apparently it has become fun for Muslim teenagers to tease our security. We need a new statute making it a defense to prosecution for assaulting a fake terrorist.
All the more reason...
Or is this another catch and release like fish??
There were on a terror watch list...hopefully, we still have them.
We have turned into a country of politically correct wimps. A watch list? Why isn't this a deport list? Oh, that list doesn't work either.
Immediately following 9/11, we should have ordered all citizens of muslim countries to leave the the United States immediately. Future entry into the US should have been barred indefintiely. Illegal immigrants of all nations should have been deported immediately. The border with Mexico should have been secured. (Personally, I like the idea of motion sensitive machine guns - you cross our border illegal - you die. No second chances. I should note I have no problem with legal immigration with Mexico and other nations, but Muslim terrorists are crossing the border.) That leaves our northern border open. Perhaps we don't need machine guns on the Canadian border - Muslim terrorists tend to stand out a bit more in the middle of North Dakota.
