Update from yesterday's story about three guys questioned near a water treatment plant here in Detroit.

[Mr. K]

TELL IT TO OSAMA!

If these bozos think they were within their rights - I suggest that they go and park right alongside the security fence of a sensitive military installation - even though on a public road - and then see what happens - Arab or not. And these days, water treatment plants are more sensitive than you average military installation.

These guys should be convicted of parking while idiots.

I hope they're monitored...I don't necessarily believe them.

"They told us we fit a description," Musaibli recalled...

No ****, Sherlock.

Musaibli's explanation for the laptop is that his 19-year-old friend uses it to watch DVDs

Somehow, I don't picture a nineteen year old "reminiscing about high school"

[FourPeas]

Four buddies parked their car by the Detroit River early Tuesday morning, where they said they sat reminiscing about high school.

What a joke. Oh, sure, I know a lot of guys who go parking next to a river to talk about the good 'ole days.

"Hey, we're in an orange alert. We're Arab Americans," said Sofyan, 28 [uncle of one of the men in the car]. "This kind of stuff is going to happen, and we have to deal with it and move on with our lives. If you're not doing anything wrong, you can't let it get to you."

It's amazing, but this guy has it right. Perhaps his next advice to the boys should be to think before they act.

reminiscing about high school

Just think of the fun they'll have in years to come, reminiscing about the night 10 Detroit Police cars swept in on them and made them fill up their Fruit-Of-The-Looms.

[WorkingClassFilth]

What a shame.

Are these youths free to whine about their hassle? Are they being tortured? Have they been fed into industrial shredders or lowered into vats of acid?

Perhaps another country would spare them this terrible nightmare of balancing freedom and protection.

OTOH, I'm glad to see some LEO's are able to profile and targer the right demographic.

For the poor babies - shut-up and thank Allah that your genitals are not being roasted with electrodes in some police dungeon in another country like, oh, ummm, well, pick any Islamic nation of your choice.

Sheesh, what idiots.

[Nucluside]

People who look mideastern shouldn't be parking near water treatment plants! In respect to mideastern terrorism, racial profiling works!

Watching DVD's on a computer in a parked car? What were they watching, porno?
