    These worthless proles make life harder for people who work and pay taxes. Retards like the Trump supporter in the story need to be publicly shamed until they know exactly what they are.

    So the passenger, the stewardess, the pilots, the TSA and everyone else involved are Trump's voting base?

    I'm part Italian and my brother looks like he could be Italian, Greek, or Middle Eastern. Guess what? At airports and in NYC he's often 'randomly' stopped while no one else he's traveling with is. This is the world we live in and Muslims made it that way.

    Why would you say that? If you were walking down the street and saw a pitbull wondering about would you be a little nervous based on their reputation? Muslims worked very, very hard to build the reputation they have and both the man and woman in this story are victims of it.

    No, the woman is not a victim at all except in the sense that she is getting raked over the coals by every non-moron who uses the Internet right now and who has heard about this story, which is expected and appropriate.

    Naw, Muslims aren't to blame. It's the idiot xenophobes who equate anyone with an olive complexion with terrorism. Is your brother OK with the cavalier attitude you have about his harassing treatment?

    Your worthless commentary aside, the article does highlight an important problem in our profiling system. It relies too heavily on people who have no cliue about what they are reporting. There's no need to pull a man off a plane because of the complaint of one person. A quick google search of the name should provide enough background info to make a judgement. If there's not info on the internet, then I start to get suspicious.

    She's an idiot, but I think she acted out of fear and ignorance, rather than malice.

    Blame it on the righties who use hate, fear and stupidity to win elections and build their voter base.

    My brother doesn't mind, it lets him know that not everyone has forgotten about 911. And he doesn't feel harassed.

    Hahahahahaha, it's the right's fault Muslims blow up planes. Was the right like this before 911 and the tens of thousands ensuing Muslim acts of terrorism? Or did Muslims do something to earn a wary eye?

    LOL...Right on cue!

    Who blew up the plane in the OP again? Oh, right...no one.

    The guy wasn't even a Muslim. :D

    Better go make sure your front door is locked.

    Again. :roflol:

    Like I said, Muslims earned their deadly reputation and people who look like one, as this Italian economist and my Italian brother do, along with the scared woman are victims of it. Remind me again why we have airport security? Oh, that's right, Buddhists.

    How many locks do you have on your front door?

    I'm guessing six. And one of these:

    Now, make sure all your guns are locked and loaded, too. :roflol:

    Why the woman? She didn't determine if the guy was a terrorist, she didn't decide to turn the plane around, and she didn't decide to have the guy re-screened. And we are becoming a nation of retards as your posts prove.

    How in the world does that relate to what I posted?

    If they are the 55% who actually pay federal income taxes it's probable they are part of the "Trump voting base."

    This woman does not pay taxes, or she won't be soon enough. She is going to be one of the next people applying for food stamps lol once her employer gets tired of receiving hate mail and death threats. :lol:

    I don't see where she says she is a Trump supporter, maybe I missed it. The linkage to Trump though is real. Trump plays on fear and xenophobia which is exactly what this woman experienced due to her unbelievable lack of international or even cosmopolitan exposure. Basically the woman is an idiot. The linkage to Trump remains strong even if circumstantial.

    Well, if the right hates muslims like you leftists say, then the only people sending her death threats would be you liberals. You keep painting yourself into a corner. You should quit while you're ahead. Wait..you're not ahead.
