If they aren't going to profile, then they either should forget checking people, or check every single bag and purse and backpack...

This Mayor is as stupid as the Mayor of London!

[Cincinatus]

Bloomberg told WABC Radio host John Gambling: "I think if we've learned anything, it is, you can't predict what a terrorist looks like."

Clearly, some people haven't.

[drc43]

""But John," the mayor shot back, "the essence of our freedom is that you are presumed innocent - you're innocent until proven guilty. "

Unless, of course, your name is Karl Rove.

Bloomberg acknowledged that his profiling ban would make it easier for terrorists to succeed in their next attack

What terrorists? The ones who aren't young, Middle Eastern men?

Does Mr. Bloomberg have a brain tumor, you think?

[mbynack]

Michael Bloomberg said Friday that terrorists come "in all sizes and shapes and forms" and it wouldn't be fair for police to profile terrorism suspects on the basis of a Middle Eastern appearance.

Yes. It's just a huge coincidence that most of them so far have looked middle eastern. It's very likely that the next terrorist attacks will be launched by 12 year old black girl from Chicago or 60 year old white woman from Dallas. We don't want to waste valuable resources watching middle eastern men between the ages of 16 and 35 when we could be attempting to watch everyone.

[politicket]

It's obvious that this nitwit has never taken a statistics or probability course in his life.

He has single-handedly taken the chance of capturing a New York based terrorist from "small" to "waste of taxpayer money". He should be kicked out of office for being such a moron.

[WideGlide]

The clueless voters in this country continue to vote idiots into positions of power. Bloomberg won't change his tune til it's discovered that the knuckleheads outside the Mayor's residence shouting Allahu Akbar and tossing a satchel charge at the front door have a somewhat Middle-Eastern appearance. Putz.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday that terrorists come "in all sizes and shapes and forms" and it wouldn't be fair for police to profile terrorism suspects on the basis of a Middle Eastern appearance.

They are just saying this to try to avoid the inevitable ACLU lawsuits.

[Terabitten]

Bloomberg acknowledged that his profiling ban would make it easier for terrorists to succeed in their next attack, but still insisted the practice was "unreasonable."

That single remark should be grounds for impeachment and removal from office. He's essentially giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

[Junior_G]

What an idiot. If they aren't focusing on those with a middle-eastern appearance, than there truly is no point at all in random bag checks. This kind of political correctness should have died in the 9/11 attacks. Would it take a nuke attack for Bloomberg to reacquaint himself with common sense?

[The Sons of Liberty]

Let's see. According to this logic, to track down the bombers, the Brits should quit looking for arabs and moslems and start looking for some Swedish guys? I guess being politically correct also means total stupidity.

[F16Fighter]

Bloomberg explained...

"If you think that everybody with blue eyes is a terrorist, you can't just stop everybody with blue eyes," he added. "Terrorists come in all sizes and shapes and forms."

And just because grey matter fills the cranial cavity of Bloomberg doesn't mean it's where his "brain" is located.

[109ACS]

I was watching a Fox news report about bag searches in the NY subway. Of course the police picked a young blond headed girl about 20 years old to search. We're going to lose. This is insanity.

[Trampled by Lambs]

All we are saying...


...is give (the terrorists) a chance!

Everybody join in and sing!

It's only sporting, don't ya know...

[oyez]

How msny people have to die before the leadership gets the message?

[The_Media_never_lie]

You want to have the police to have the burden of being very careful and never discriminating.

Why burden the police when we are at war. Aren't we at war with terrorism?

[Kelly_2000]

So the idea is that we know what a terrorist looks like but we can't upset them by targeting them have I got this right?

How can we win this war with this kind of handicap?
