Now what makes this truck particularly suspicious? Does it have something written on the side? Call-in from somewhere or something?
Wait, why am I thinking rationally?!? It was on Fox!! Quick let's all call our Congressional representation and push for legislation to ban any sort of trucks from a certain range of any and all courthouses!!
Guys—
I get annoyed at media hype on a slow news day, as your comments indicate you do.
However, living not far from where this trial is taking place, I am frankly relieved that law enforcement is overreacting. I hope they continue to do so.
This area — right in the middle of good ol’ boy Texas — has an abundance of mosques, Islamic centers, and probably sleeper cells. Osama’s personal secretary, who is now in federal prison for the Kenya embassy bombing, lived here, and his cohorts still do.
The men on trial — family, actually — apparently provided major funding to Hamas. This trial is serious, and I’m not the only one who is nervous about it.
So joke about FOX news if you will, but join the rest of us in hoping that nothing truly newsworthy (other than convictions and long prison terms) come out of downtown Dallas in the next few months.
