(Journal Star) Dumbass ... it turns out they were stopping every driver, driving east on the westbound lanes of the Interstate. And that's profiling. And profiling is wrong   (journalstar.com) divider line 88

There was only one driver going eastbound in the westbound lane. He was making a funny about profiling.

I got it subby, even though it was a bit labored.

I think he's making reference to the ethnicity of the driver based on the driver's name and how some illegals are being arrested for DUI with a few (very few) activists claiming profiling of illegals committing other crimes besides illegal immigration.

I could be wrong.

... It's a Ron White bit, talking about driving drunk and getting pulled over, "But I find out they were pulling over every vehicle driving up that sidewalk.. etc."

It's a stretch but I see the connection

He was driving westbound in the eastbound lanes. But other than that, I don't know what problem everyone is having with your headline, subby.

You're wrong.

The Dread Pirate Robertson got it, though, because it's part of a Ron White act about how the cops were pulling over EVERYONE driving on that particular sidewalk.

His name makes him an illegal migrant?
This thread is growing more and more stupid by the minute.
And that gives me hope.

I even read driving East on the Westbound lanes and didn't get the joke at first! Of course, I've been napping at my desk for a few minutes and the cobwebs aren't entire shaken loose yet!

That's silly. How does he know where we're going.

No, I didn't say that his name made his an illegal immigrant.

Yeah, so I reread my post and I didn't see that. What part did you read?

It is profiling because they were pulling over ALL the people going west in the eastbound lane.

I'll break it down:
ethnicity of the driver based on the driver's name + how some illegals = crimes besides illegal immigration

mtylerjr: Strained humor aside, the frivolous comma in the headline had me confused.

The last impactful sentence, "And profiling is wrong," was, I believed, the gist of the story. But it wasn't. Besides the direction he was driving in, nothing in this headline bears any relevance to the story whatsoever.
Man, this headline is just so bad.

Subby is inferring that there were more than one person going down the wrong way on the interstate.

I also think the ellipses is the true crime in this headline.

Good to see New Mexico is now exporting DUI to other, underserved parts of the nation.

I was talking to a chick from Albuquerque the other day; she claims drunk driving is so bad in NM that the cops tell sober people to stay off the highways at night. That true?
