racial profiled someone

[bigscott]

If he had a bomb strapped to him what would/could you of changed? Being closer to the blast?

closer yes -- but my daughters would have been out of harms way - my life for theres -

been there before and didnt hesitate to put my body between them and some asshole with a knife -

so - nope wouldnt have changed the fact he would of had a bomb but would have altered his course away from my girls - thats all i care about

[bigscott]

Personally I laughed my balls off at the Arab story but I personally think standing in everyone's way when videotaping was a little fucked up. If some dude was standing in front of you while you were trying to see your daughter you would have asked him to move.

it was before the concert started and we were told that we could take pics at that time - that is the reason why i did not move - she had her chance to take pics of her grandchildren - dont say shit to me when its my turn cause i will let you know how i feel :)

I read a study once that said the majority of wife abusers are husbands.

Seriously guys, he was concerned with his child. He did what he thought was right to protect his family. On the same hand, he needs to think about the example he is setting for his child. It goes both ways. There is no real right or wrong here. Tolerance is needed, but so is security. The question is how to balance the two. Everyone will have their own opinion based on the situation

children were not made aware of it -- my kids are on a need to know basis bro -

and that they didnt need to know

[bigscott]

The only thing that matters is perception. I can see his point of view. Worst case scenario is not pretty. It is highly unlikely, but worrisome none the less. I don't have children (nor do i plan to ever have them), so i have no idea what was going through his head. Once you are a parent, your life becomes the child's life. He felt his daughter was threatened, so he did what he beleived was right. That is all that matters for him, what he beleives. Who are you or me to judge him for what he did when he felt his daughter's life was threatened.

On the other hand, it could set a negative example by teaching his daughter intolerance. But he has to balance the example versus his daughter's safety. In his mind her safety far outweighs setting an example. You were not in his situation, you have not lived his life, you don't know what he has been through. So don't judge. You are jumping to conclusions right now as you beleive he did then. Keep an open mund and try to see his point of view. You will be surprised what you can learn when you step back from the situation and look at it objectively,

great post bro !!!

I'm trying to think of the best way to word this and I'm probably talking down to you...but here it goes.

Okay, so you made a judgment call. It ended up being wrong and you basically reinforced the idea to another American that he is being discriminated against because of his race.

What is your reasoning behind not telling your kids? Isn't there a lesson to your kids that most Muslims aren't here to kill them?

I guess, to my earlier point, that is my biggest problem. Don't you, kind of, feel like an ass for jumping to that conclusion and not even explaining it to the guy who probably has the same fears and concerns for his own child?

I just don't see how we can ever achieve some progress when most Americans hold the same belief system you do.

but who is to say his decision was wrong? its all a matter of opinion and if you havnt been in that position you cant judge. his priorities are his children and no matter what other people think he is gonna do what he thinks is right regardless of how others see it.

i didnt tell my kids because they are just that . kids !! -- to many adults these days put there kids on the same level as themselves - its why you see so much disrespect by todays youth -

oh and deffintley didnt feel like an ass for doing what i did -- i didnt have to explain my actions because he already knew !! will do it again in a heartbeat -

by the way he was not american -- my hopes is his view is he should have stayed in his own fucking country -- dont have much tolerance for todays non americans -- cant even respect this country enough to learn its language ,its culture etc etc , but yet there ideals are forced down our throats -

by the way my kids dont know a muslim from a christian a catholic from a jew etc etc etc - also my kids are of mixed race so they been taught not too judge upon anyones color,creed or religion -

its religion and its ideals that one is better then the other i find to be the root of evil -

plus when you speak of him you keep calling him a muslim - not all arabs are of muslim faith ! so you yourself have judged him without knowing just because he is what ? an arab :)

just to clear the air, they are actually my kids. bigscott is just the babysitter. i told him to protect and defend from them rag heads. also told him to watch out for fat rich kids who drive bmw's and think they know the world when in fact they have never seen the dark side...

Don't you feel like an ass for jumping to conclusions about coolege students who can't drive? Look back on my post on page 2, you hold the same beleif system scoot does, albeit against a different group.
