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.

mewzilla...
All of the camera hogs patting each other on the back about how good they are performing. Pray tell why did the stupid mayor turn to politicking and praise the congress woman? Is she going to investigate? What BS.

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

I just called my mother who lives in France, and she just saw their news there, and an Israeli terrorist specialist said it was no doubt a terrorist attack. The European stations are saying so, but CNN just had all those clowns on for a news conference pretty much saying it's just an isolated incident, and they don't seem to want to answer questions.
I'm sure it would be so easy for people with machine guns to walk up to El Al, one of the most heavily secured airlines, and start blasting people. My mother is going to bed; I'm going to call her again tomorrow to see what else we are not being told over here.

Richard Reid looks like Bob Marley after having a lobotomy!

If this guy IS a terrorist, something tells me that he would not have attempted to pull off a shooting if he thought that any number of individuals in the area were carrying weapons, legally. That would be true airport security.
To: Burr5
Just heard on the news...he was an Afghan celebrating a wedding by firing into the air. It's tradition. </satire>

A gun in the hand of a law abiding Citizen saved innocent lives today......THAT IS WHAT THE HEADLINES SHOULD READ TOMORROW

How did an Arab-looking guy get past security?
What kind of question is this? Sounds like your party may have started early.
To: cynicom
She is still blaming the LA riots on anybody but the actual rioters.
To: crypt2k
Did you happen to see the pictures of the so called step son of Saddam Hussein. Nice short haircut, looked like an all American boy.
To: rastus macgill
Arabs and Jews for the most part don't look the same. Arabs tend to have low foreheads for example, not much room between eyebrows and hairline. Jews are more refined looking.

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. LOL, I was thinking the same thing. The whole press conference was 1 minute of information crammed into a half-hour, and all I could think of was "Well, was he a rag-head or what?" and of course that aspect was never addressed.
To: _Jim
AMEN! Wow Jim, does this mean you are for honest citizens being able to carry firearms, even in airports?
If so, next time if find someone calling you a statist I'll be pointing this out in your defense.

If you are talking about the cool-mo-dee looking kid who could barely speak english, with the white shirt and glasses.. I don't believe him.
Don't get me wrong, I think it was probably an arab targeting El Al. But I don't believe that kid.
He looked confused and eyewitness reports can be very unreliable.

The liberal photo grabbing sucks are already blaming the availability of guns as one of the reasons this happened. Geesh!!! Yup, the Mayor of LA did a quick rhetorical drive by saying "Oh, there's way too many guns around.." etc;
Way too many bad guys with guns, and not enough good guys. It's those fine distinctions (barf) that escape the elite I guess.
To: Burr5
But this is "just an-other i-so-la-ted in-ci-dent," according to the Mayor of LA.
BTW, I didn't like the diatribe that the French kid started about the lack of security at US airports. This shooting was at the ticket counter -- since when do we expect them to search the public BEFORE they get to the ticket counter?
To: AAABEST
I'm for a law-abiding non-felon cits carrying ... it would be a MUCH safer world ...
