You weren't there. You have NO idea what Mrs. Stone's son said or " felt ", as it has NOT beeen reported / commented upon. You do NOT know that she was " staring " at them. Only ONE of them, was wearing a white , crochetted , Muslim skullcap. The others were bareheaded and clean shaven.

No, I wasn't there and neither were you. I'm relying on press accounts which widely (and repeatedly) reported that the nurse's son said (to the best of my memory), "mom, they're just fooling (or joking) with you."

It's true I don't know why they decided to tease her. But one reason could be that they were pissed because she was looking at the one man's headgear suspiciously. If someone looked at me because I was wearing my customary headdress I'd be pissed too. If it was clear to her son that they were jerking her around, why couldn't she see it too, unless of course she didn't want to, given that it was payback time in America.

How many times does someone have to tell you, that she said that she thought that it could have been a hoax, but after weighing the outcome, of NOT reporting it, she decided to ? She said, and it was reported IN PRINT, far more times, than anything her son said. BTW, the media reported so much , that was erronious / inaccurate, that you have NO idea what was said / happened.

First it was " their " headresses and now, after giving you FACTUAL info, which until I posted it, you did not know, you say that she was staring at the jerk in the skullcap. You're quite a piece of work, dear. Now, just out of morbid curiosity, what kind of headgear, doi you wear ? One of those floppy, checkered tableclothe things, that Arabs wear ? Are you a Seik and wear a turban ? Is is now against the law and / or taking away your " rights and freedoms ", to be looked at in public ? Have you reached your 30th birthday yet ? I'm being kind; you sound adolescent. :-)

Pardon me, but I DON'T trust your memory. I've read dozens of stories about this topic and have yet to see even one quote by the son stating that he was convinced the men were joking. I do remember reports of him getting their license plate numbers from their cars.

Besides, your carping about Eunice and trying to make her into a bigot is going nowhere. You're the one with blinders on, bubba.
