I think CPanther was making a somewhat oblique attempt at a dumb blonde joke.
I think.
But I'm blonde so I'm not really sure.
Good. I'm blonde too. But, not naturally, so I think I'm safe.

The bleach has certain properties that protect against the stupidness.
I disagree, that this would have NEVER happened to "Jimmy MacDonald". Although, it wouldn't have made national news, nor would he be invited to the White House.
We have far too limited resources to focus on every possible threat.
I've got no problem if we, as a country, don't waste those few resources monitoring blue-eyed blondes with the notion that one of them might be able to conceive, plan and execute a terrorist plot against the US. Partly because I imagine it is a statistically low risk group, but mainly because I suspect almost all will cease to be a threat sometime during the suicide bombing practice stage.

The only thing this kid is guilty of is "Engineering While Muslim" and to think he is playing some kind of race card is ludicrous.
While not everyone has the skills to do this, lots of people multi-task without any problem. I'm sure he's doing just fine, I'm not worried.I still want to know why the President of the United States is surfing the 'net instead of getting his work done?
And the Columbine killers were not of Middle Eastern/Indian descent. I'm discouraged that people are playing the race card here - I was straight into the case/wires/"*** is it" angle that prompted the situation.

I don't think the kid was playing the race card either, at least not initially, but others certainly are. Just as some have said this would have not happened to a white kid, if it had, I doubt that kid would be getting tweets from the President, Hillary Clinton, Zuckerberg, astronauts and I'm not sure who else by now. White kids (and other "brown" kids) have been sent home for pop-tart guns, butter knives, clothing, etc. They may get a day or two on the news wire, but nothing like this.
I think the main reason this story is bigger and has lasted longer is that photo of Ahmed in cuffs. People tend to form stronger opinions on images or 140-character rants, rather than more detailed research. That picture really struck a chord. It was like the NFL player who hit his wife in the elevator. It became a HUGE story after the video was released.

Seriously, you picture President Obama surfing the net? LOL. He has people. His people have people. This is the way that Presidents have operated for a LONG time. Just because "his name" is attached to something doesn't mean that he personally did it or found it. Your comment is nothing but an ill disguised political jab.
Like one article from a New York newspaper that might have implied there might be more to the story?? I'll give you props for persistence.
?Isn't it your job to make ill disguised political jabs? I would be upset too.
Wow. Where did that come from?
