LAX shooter an "Arab-Looking" guy...Eyewitness
Posted on 07/04/2002 2:17:49 PM PDT by 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.

The jihadists have about 15% who don't have shi'ite for brains, and are very clever. The other 85% are guys like the doofus shoe bomber, who are open to suggestion, and will, if moved by a malevolent spirit, act out here and there, thinking their "virgins" await them.

The liberal photo grabbing sucks are already blaming the availability of guns as one of the reasons this happened. Geesh!!!

"How did an Arab-looking guy get past security?"
Are we supposed to be looking for Arabs?
To: Burr5
"no indication of terrorism?" EXPLAIN how this WAS an act of terrorism.
You apparently just ASSUME that it is ...

Can you imagine how all the other networks would be scrambling to asterisk his statement?
"Well, we want to stress that blah blah blah blah."

That new great book Inside Al Queda makes it clear that we should NOT only be looking for Arab looking people. Whatever Osama thinks we look for, he'll do the opposite. We have to look at everyone (sad but TRUE to say) as potential suspects.

It's a knee jerk reaction from reactionary, fundamentalist(neo marxist and Jacobin) liberals. Why can't these hoplophobes be pro choice on gun ownership. No one would force them to have one! They are just un American crispy critters.

I'm glad I wasn't the only person beingdriven nuts by that reporter taking so long to ask about a description of the perp. Also noticed none of those enquiring minds at the press conference could be bothered to ask. And what a press conference. Never have so many taken so long to say so little of importance. People of LA, you have my sympathies.

"I thought LAX had instituted staged security, with remote parking garages and mandatory checks even before nearing the terminal."THIS includes BODY SEARCHES with WANDS at the GARAGE, etc.?
I think not ...
MAYBE all guns *DO* need to be banned (with your thinking) ...

1) The insane guy who drove the Greyhound off the road in Tennessee was described as "Middle Eastern" by several eyewitnesses; turned out to be a Croatian, who didn't look Middle Eastern at all.
2) Richard Reid was described as "Middle Eastern" by LAW ENFORCEMENT in the first press conference after his arrest; turns out he doesn't have a drop of Arab or Middle Eastern blood in his body.

"How did an Arab-looking guy get past security?"Is that the only place one is allowed to discharge a firearm (PAST security)?

How did an Arab-looking guy get past security? If he was at the ticket counter he hadn't gone through security yet.

Arabs are indisitinguishable from Sephardic Jews; if you stopped Arab-looking guys from getting past security, El Al would have to shut down.
How do you think suicide bombers in Israel keep getting into crowds of Israelis so easily, when the Israelis have the best security on earth?

The FBI agent, Garcia on tv now does not instill any confidence. But I did hear that California Governor Gray Davis said he would make the California Highway Patrol available and he was continuing to monitor the situation.
