Fuel Truck Highjack Stopped

Fox News

[Patriot]

Fox News is reporting that a semi-fuel truck was attempted to be highjacked in North Carolina this afternoon by 2 middle eastern men. Developing......

it was road rage

Maybe now isn't a good time for Arabs to be doing a lot of road rage.

"Not near me, but we have the Good Ol Boys down here that will have no problem taking care of the situation."

Yep, we kin handle it.
Y'all look at our new watch tower:

Taking away all of one's possessions and forcing him into a prison camp only because of ethnicity is indeed evil.

Qualifying your rhetoric from "absolute evil" to just evil is a good direction to move.

Still, that's not exactly what happened.

I believe that is in Wilson, NC. East/Northeast of Raleigh halfway between Greenville and Raleigh. I95 is a major north/south interstate through NC.

[Ward Smythe]

Nash County NC is not very far from to the Navy base in Norfolk VA

It's even closer to the nuclear power plant in Surry, Virginia.

Has anybody ever pondered the somewhat peverse idea that OBL could instantly upgrade his public opinion polls if he sent one of his cells to eliminate Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling.....it'd be like one of those "good news/bad news" jokes......"your new Caddilac just went off the cliff...your mother in law was driving..."

Here's a map of I-95 and US-264 area

[Bob Buchholz]

I95 and US264 intersect just outside of Wilson NC. Wilson is just about 40 miles from Greenville and 50 miles from Raleigh. I95 runs directly north through VA to DC.

I gotta tell you, since September 11th I get a very uneasy feeling whenever I'm filling up at the local gas station whenever they're getting a fuel delivery. Not uneasy enough that I won't fill up until the tanker leaves, but enough that I don't do it with the wife and kids in the car anymore.

or if he attacked the left coast?

re: Manzanar, WWII. We did'nt have any incidents of Japanese sabatage on U.S. soil did we? I do know that there were German merchant marine sabatuers who caused havoc in N.J.

How the hell does a Dodge Neon force a tanker off the road?
And conversly, how does a tanker truck elude a Dodge Neon on a highway?

[mrustow]

Your hysterical demand makes as much sense as the pc demand, that ALL airline passengers be treated the same, and body searched. My wife is an "alien," and if you want her deported, just come on over. I'll personally give you your just desserts, no waiting necessary.

No, it isn't "evil" it's in fact quite "sane".

Confiscating one's possessions and throwing him in a prison camp only because of ethnicity is "sane"? nay, it is pure evil.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

You're proposing a policy based on Communistic principles?

We should place all Muslims,

There's this little thing called the First Amendment...

those from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, Lebannon, Syria and Iran, in internment camps until we can sort out who they are, get background information on them, where their families are from, what their family connections are, etc. Better yet, just round 'em all up and deport all of 'em.

Just because of their ethnic background? Hello?
Haven't read much history, have you?

We don't need Arab or Muslim immigrants in this country. Explain to me their "benefit" to our nation? There isn't any. So don't try.

That's just sick. Replace "muslim" and "arab" (and related references) with "Catholic" or "Jewis" or "Irish" or "Chinese" etc. and you'll sound exactly like any other bigot.

Why is that wrong?

If you have to ask...

You're going to lose this argument so think careful before you answer...

You think you're going to win this argument by spouting the exact same rhetoric as racial supremisists? I'll just cut this subthread short and put you on the list of "enemies domestic".

Suffice to say: the issue of internment camps is a line in concrete. Don't cross it.

"Christianity is a peaceful and loving religion"

Show me in the Bible where Jesus said to go and kill those who worship differently.

Mohammad said it in the Koran.

Thanks for the link.
I work in Wilson, but on the other side of the city from US 264 - I-95 interchange.

In fact, 264 passes only about 1 mile from where I am now sitting.
I didn't realize it was so close... this FR thread is the first I have heard of it!

[ctdonath2]

Still, that's not exactly what happened.

Go study the history of Manzanar. Then get back to me.

No kidding, there are some budding Hitlers and Milosevics here on this website, but I think no matter what political venue you enter that celebrates free speech you will always have to put up with irrational morons like the person above who says that no Middle Easterners living here are a credit to this country.

There are MILLIONS of whites, blacks and hispanics out there right now sitting on their ass and soaking up your state and federal tax dollars, and some of you point the finger at all Middle Easterners as the problem? STOOPID.
