That's genuinely a tough question. Is it stereotyping and getting in someone's business? Yep.

But let's not forget the neighbors of San Bernardino heard noises from their neighbors garage but didn't want to say anything for fear of being called racists. Sure enough, those neighbors were the shooters.


Give me a fricking break.

How about "don't be a dipshit"?

Protip: The plural form is "Americans". If you stick an apostrophe in there you are indicating possession of something. And if you were trying to indicate possession the apostrophe should be after the s, not before it. Example: "Most Americans' cars use gasoline and not nuclear power."


Ironic, don't you think?

Don't correct other people's lack of plural and/or possessive knowledge if you don't understand the use of commas and subordinate clauses.

One word answer and completely tuning her out? Sounds like we've got confirmation.



Very suspicious. Who ever heard of a math whiz being introverted?

Any other day this would be an onion piece.

Instead it's reality. Idiocracy is almost here folks.

I don't think doing math problems is on the balancing scale.

You some kind of a gay that hates America baw?


I love America. I just hate the "love it or leave it" white trash mentality. It doesn't solve anything. And you're just masquerading as a "tough guy" with that line of thinking.

In reality, it just shows that you'll take any shite like a dog. You won't voice your opinions since you'll "walk or stay". If some guy punks you in front of your woman, what will you do? Will you use the "love it or leave it" approach? That's a b*tch attitude.

Well someone's going to come in here and say "well all terrorists use Arabic. Better safe than sorry."

This is the fruit that generalization bears.

A California woman reportedly noticed “suspicious activity” at a house connected one of the Muslim terrorists in the San Bernardino massacre but did want “profile” him, amid questions about how family members and others could have overlooked the stockpile of ammunition and explosives left behind in his home.

A man identified as Aaron Elswick told an ABC News affiliate that a fellow neighbor noticed “quite a few packages” being delivered “within a short amount of time” at a home registered to the mother of Syed Farook, who with wife Tashfeen Malik, fatally shot 14 people and wounded dozens of others Wednesday at a business complex in San Bernardino, Calif.

Elswick said his neighbor also noticed the occupants of the home purportedly owned by Farook’s mother “doing a lot of work out in the garage” but perhaps “didn’t want to profile” Farook and his family.

The husband and wife shooters who shot 36 people in San Bernardino in Wednesday had been acting suspiciously in recent weeks, neighbors claim.

Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, were apparently working late at night in their garage and receiving numerous packages to their home in Redlands, California.

But according to nearby residents, they did not report them for fear of racial profiling

quote:

Multiple lawmakers raised the fact that neighbors saw suspicious activities but failed to mention them to investigators until after the attack. "There were people who were aware of things, thought they were suspicious, but did not want to be accused of being discriminatory for reporting something," said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He said these people saw activity around the garage that they thought was suspicious
