Profiling and discriminating are two words that have been hijacked by the PC police.
You learn to live that. On the plus side it never gets too hot here.
It’s Not Paranoia.
It’s Situational Awareness.
Sometimes they really are out to get you.
Sometimes It’s just Random Violence.
Either way You are Just as Dead,
If you do not remain aware of your surroundings.
And on the lighter side...
“It turns out they were pulling over everyone driving on that particular sidewalk... and that’s ‘Profiling’!
And ‘Profiling’ is wrong!”

What Ted means is - If political mechanisms and or voting means are taken out of our hands by the cheating methods as usual by the Rat Party, it will be time to take our country back by force... and that is NO JOKE!!!
We won't be the first or the last nation that has had a blood-letting revolution. Bet on it! It all depends how bad you want to keep your freedom! These arrogant leftists will cheat and lie to no end until they get what they want. They might be on the receiving end of things they never bargained for!
I like to think rational old people are not paranoid but simply more aware. There is a difference you know.
A form of paranoia. LOL!
Thank you, Ted!!! His awesomeness comes through again!
Thank you, Ted!!! His awesomeness comes through again!
Agreed...I am almost 60 and I have never seen the Country so damaged as it has been during these 18 months.
Mr Nugent is, quite simply, THE MAN.

It is time for America to get tough and intolerant...
If there is one thing liberals can't stand, it's intolerance.
So You go Walking down in Harlem wearing All your Bling
Even though you have a feeling It might be Unwise?
Being aware of what is around you is not paranoia. It means you don't trip over the coffee table.
how do we repeatedly allow liberals to give good things a bad name?
“Profiling” is a necessary and perfectly legitimate investigative tool
The next time some idiot liberal says “but thats profiling” say “Yer dam right it is!!! and thank god we can do that”
I’ve been slammed here before by suggesting that law enforcement is ham-strung by black/white ( maybe I should say either/or) rules of engagement. I believe there always exists a little gray area where reasonable officers might read a situation differently, especially when it comes to suspicion of or prevention of a crime, a domestic disturbance or other hot scene where someone might need to be arrested but you don’t have all the facts or the luxury of time to get the facts.
One PC solution for prevention is “random” searching. Pull every 10th in line for enhanced search, etc.
It’s like putting a blindfold on and swinging at a pinata.
The very term “reasonable suspicion” implies that something about the individual sets off your instinctive alarms. Appearance (matching description), behavior, mannerisms, dress, actions, direction of travel or speed of travel all guide an officer apprehending a criminal after a crime.
Take it a step further to anticipating crime and you must add profiling to randomness ( since you really can’t strip search everyone everywhere). This means you have to use race, religion, ethnicity, manner of speech, dress, attitude and demeanor, eye contact or lack thereof, or other less definable sensory input to be effective.
I think the goal is to be effective. If statistics point to certain criteria as being high probability, then the suspicion becomes reasonable.
Cats and dogs seem to posses more common sense than many humans do and that is very sad.
