LAX shooter an "Arab-Looking" guy...Eyewitness

[Burr5]

Fox just interviewed a French kid who witnessed the LAX shootings. AMAZINGLY, the reporter farted around for 10 minutes and never asked "What did the guy LOOK LIKE?" Thankfully, the anchor back at the studio prodded him into it, and the kid replied that the shooter was "Afghan-looking" "Arab-looking"...Sorry I'm paraphrasing. But I'll call it official: It's Terrorism.

[Burr5]

Sorry, Dim. Didn't mean to suggest you were the one blaming it on "possibly" an Israeli. That came a post or two before your comment. Still, you seem a little reluctant to consider the obvious as a likely explanation.

I'd like to know how they can quickly and reliably tell the guy's age but not his ethicity or nationality. What, did he have his birthday tatooed on his butt?

[Sabertooth]

She is still blaming the LA riots on anybody but the actual rioters.

You aware that more than half of those arrested in the '92 riots were Latino, and as many as a third were Illegals?

[Maxy]

He might be arab but had a towel on his head and smelled like crap.

[niteowl77]

Maybe they counted his rings.

I have been listening to the lax police on the scanner for several hours now. One guy just told another guy that there still holding a suspect so that the FBI can interview him/her. I don't get it, I thought I heard that the dead guy was the only suspect. Maybe its just keystone cops. I feel very safe!

Do you remember that kid who stole that plane and flew into that Tampa office tower? The media would not reveal that he was a Jordanian (I think) American and that he left notes pledging loyalty to Bin Laden and celebrating his martyrdom. Not a peep from the news outlets that the kid was Arab ... nope, he was just another "troubled" kid who probably listened to Black Sabbath LPs through earphones!

[mewzilla]

LOL. This is so stupid. When they don't know anything, why don't just say so. No photo ops or press conferences until they know something substantive. This verbal flatulence on the part of the politicos and flatfeet just drives everyone nuts, makes them look bad, and the public lose trust in its public servants. Frankly these weenies scare me more than the terrorists.

The kidnapper in the Elizabeth Smart case in Utah supposedly had hair on the back of his hands.

I have seen Arab men with hair on the back of their hands.

Therefore.... the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping is terrorism.

The kid was 1/4ths Arab, 3/4s Italian/Sicilian. His father (1/2 Arab) was born in the US, in the Boston area I believe, and didn't even speak Arabic; unclear what area of origin the Grandfather was. But, based on the fact you have to go back to the Grandfather, based on immigration patterns, most likely was a Christian Arab from the Lebanon/Syria region that came to the US sometime in the first part of this century.

You are correct.

I don't think this is terrorist in the sense of a tie to any large group.

I think it was just one (or two???? there were reports of another suspect ealier, but I have not heard a thing about this and don't know what the deal is...it may have been incorrect info or something) nut out to try to get Israel.

I support deporting illegals on principle..

But those who are citizens or who followed the rules and their papers are pending.. I wouldn't harm them in the course of some kind of misguided rush for "safety"

Because we all know fedgov can't make us safe. We already know that, it's obvious..

Now, take away our right's as citizens? THAT THEY CAN DO..

[oneeye]

You are an idiot. Have you ever seen security at an airport before yoe get to a ticket counter? Do you also want security before you walk int a Kmart?

Therefore.... the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping is terrorism.

No, no.. nonononono..

You have to run around and flail your hands when you say "terrorism! AHHH! Shreek! Make me safe, please!!"

You are never gong to convince anyone they way you are doing it..

[Jhoffa_]

Oh yeah..

He's worm food.. Otherwise I think his arrogance would have gotten the best of him by now.

[Jhoffa_]

PS: And imo you're right on padilla too.

If he's a scumbag then it shouldn't be hard to make a case against him. And if it IS hard to make a case against him, then maybe he's not a scumbag?

I mean, things would surely be so much simpler if we treated our citizens like Castro or Saddam. But we don't.

And if he's guilty then charge, convict and kill the sob. Save the tribunals and such for traitors like Johnny tally-ban (who definately gave up his right's) and that moron from France.

You forgot the most important step. You then have to post "nothing to see here folks, move along."

All the best hysterical posts have that in it. ;-)

[ArneFufkin]

Thank you for the details! I never read any reports of this kids ethnic background - I heard Michael Medved reference his ethnicity on his radio show. Your clarification is appreciated.

[Jhoffa_]

All the best hysterical posts have that in it.

But the most hysterical ones have "hold muh beer!" in the title and then a few paragraphs about Darwin maiming someone.

Those are my personal favorites..

HEY! That wuz my post!!!

But I'm really getting the hang of posting while cowering in my closet.

It's kinda hard to see the monitor through the keyhole though.
