Look you moral bankrupt. We are not talking about a jihadist. We are talking about an American girl attending college. So far, as a nation, we have managed to go for more than 200 years without making a habit of shooting college women on sight and asking questions later. While we have a long history of goofy college students, we have not had an outbreak of american female jihadists, yet. Therefore, from the purely cost/benefit trade I think the consequence of shooting our goofballs on sight without question might be just a bit higher than not shooting them given that there seems to be no negative consequences from not shooting them except some fashion crimes.

You on the other hand, I suppose, feel a moral supperiority to man and God and are quite willing to take on the role of Great Moral Reaper.

Nobody shot her. They asked questions -- she ran away. Then they detained her to get an explanation. I thought she said she was proud of her "art" work? Why did she not want to explain it?

Look, you mental midget, it doesn’t take genius to figure out that when you take a fake bomb into a big city airport, you are risking your life, and if you did it on purpose, you deserve to be punished.

Your endless list of excuses all seem to hinge on the fact the this fake bomb looked too fake for anyone not to immediately dismiss as an obvious joke. You follow this with vicious derision of the security forces who made the arrest.

I don’t accept that, and find it a very dangerous way of thinking, in this post 9/11 world.

I know she was just a goofy college kid...now. But at first blush, I don’t accept that any reasonable, non-retarded person should instantly assume the most innocent motive.

You focus on the flashing lights, the fact that it doesn’t conform to your idea of what an IED should look like, and you take this idea and run with it, automatically condemning anyone who took a more cautious approach.

You defend this idiot child as if she were your own, and you were protecting her from ravening wolves, instead of seeing the obvious problems with her behavior.

I think you have some other agenda at work here, and I suspect it has something to do with a core hatred of authority figures in general.
