If it makes me scared it's terrorism, kind of like how assault only has to make me fearful.

Forgot he was wearing rubber gloves? Give me a break.

Used to be the biggest threat at post offices was the postmen themselves. How times have changed.

Ah yes, the leather bomber.

/Not going to GIS that idea.

Next you'll tell me that picking up milk at the convenience store while wearing a ski mask is terrorism too.

Nice troll headline for the greenlight.

It was eczyma i tell you

1/2/09 Never Forget

I got a black pair of gloves for Christmas. Every time I wear them I wonder how much like a criminal I appear. Doesn't help that I'm breaking into shiat and taking valuables home with me.

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier: Ah yes, the leather bomber.

/Not going to GIS that idea.

You know Fark has infected your mind when you can only imagine dirty things coming from "leather bomber" instead of, say, a jacket which is what you get with a GIS.

/My mind is also clearly infected.

Better safe then sorry.

Homeland Security USA: All Hail The American Police State (new window)

Surprised they didn't shoot him first.

/Bang Bang Bang.... "freeze police"

well gee, I feel SO much safer now...

This is just more of the pussification of America.

Come on...if the guy had been both stupid (wearing that stuff to the post office) AND crazy (sending a letter bomb because the voices told him to), everyone would be cheering the cops for being so alert and proactive. What he did WAS a little suspicious, so what's the harm in stopping the guy to find out what the story is? It's not like he was imprisoned or fined. Next time maybe he'll think about how the APPEARANCE of what he is doing may get him some inconvenience while things are sorted out.
Good job, cops! (Now back to the donut shop.)

shizbgby_v2: Better safe then sorry.

No, it's not better. Not at all.

Sounds like the guys that try to sneak stuff past airport screeners because they are showing the security holes. Oh who cares, the terrorists have won!

12 Americans are murdered everyday by Illegal Aliens. Howzabout we have homeland security ignore the post offices and concentrate on borders?

msimon8: This is just more of the pussification of America.

How would you feel if someone snapped a latex right behind your ear?

We have become a nation of candy-ass pansies. Scared of our own shadows.fark you, George W. Bush and your culture of brainless fear.

I get the same harassment when I drop off my mail while wearing my gimp mask and ball gag.

Well, that's one way to toughen up the pussy germophobes.

How many terrorist plots have been stopped by this mass hysteria?

Not snark, serious. Has there been anything?

Barbecue Bob: cancer

If you live long enough, you will get cancer of some sort. Natures way of saying "Go away, we don't need you anymore"

Murder and terrorism, OTOH, are not an inevitable part of simply being alive.

/murder - i don't think it means what you think it means

If he dropped off his mail slowly he'd be arrested for loitering. So he was pretty much screwed either way.

Man, if the guy was brown, he would be in Gitmo and we wouldn't hear from him for about 5 years.

Wow. That's just pure stupid there.

Shock_wave: How many terrorist plots have been stopped by this mass hysteria?

Not snark, serious. Has there been anything?

The horror of the Chinese sneaking melamine into our pet food and lead into our children's toys.

Those bubbas' plot to kill a certain number of black people, including Barack Obama.

I could go on...

/pffft
//agrees with you

msimon8: This is just more of the pussification of America.

I rekon we're about 5 years behind the nanny state.

Next up, Government subsidized/controlled/monitored internet, and kneepads/lube for all.

woah now, you can get arrested for looking suspicious? i guess i can't go anywhere, ever again.

Barbecue Bob: GoodasGold: Thousands of Americans are murdered everyday by cancer. Howzabout we have homeland security ignore the post offices and concentrate on educating our doctors?

/just sayin'

They are working on that. Soon they will have all the doctors educated that they cannot provide any service for anyone unless the doctor has permission from the government.

Government controlled health care.

Coming soon to a city near you!

portscanner: They are working on that. Soon they will have all the doctors educated that they cannot provide any service for anyone unless the doctor has permission from the government insurance provider after the service has been proven to not adversely affect the company's bottom line.

Fixed that for the reality of the current situation

buttcat: I get the same harassment when I drop off my mail while wearing my gimp mask and ball gag.

That's just because they clash.
Navy latex with a brown gag? please.

vanchick148: Forgot he was wearing rubber gloves? Give me a break.

So what are you saying? He was a terrorist?

You tend to forget one thing. The insurance company cannot use force to stop a doctor from treating you. They can just choose not to pay the cost

If the government forbids a doctor from treating you, government can use force (property seizures, arrest, jail, execution) to stop the doctor from treating you.

It is 51 below here today. Fark you and your paranoid delusional rants. I wear gloves. Real terrs just cover the fingertip bottoms with clear tape or polish. pffft US is a bunch of poofs. Keep spending the money that you do not have..... Then cry when you cannot afford the basics unless you work for da government.

What indications are there that, under any of the health care plans seriously proposed for the US, you won't be able to pay for your own medical care if you so choose?

Wearing rubber gloves while dropping stuff off at the post office is definitely strange behavior.

Oh, you know, the imaginary wingnut plan.

In no other country in the world that has socialized medicine, does it work as the wingnuts propose. I don't see why the US would be so different.

Somehow a federal healthcare plan translates to loss of freedom, to these people. (but not really, they're just shills for the HMOs).
