Merged Boston Marathon CTs

I would guess that for CM, "foreign looking" would mean anyone who would be unwelcome at a Klan meeting.

Not that I'd want to go, but I could get away with going to one of those. So could my brother, who was not born in the US.

Like I said, what's "foreign looking" Clayton? Could you look at me and tell me what percentage of my ancestry is German? Hungarian? Romanian? Who's the arbiter? What if my family came over a century earlier - is there something that happens over generations that removes that foreign look?

And just for fun, Clayton, I like to mess with people once in a while. While my normal speech is a pretty flat, boring midwestern accent, I sometimes imitate my relatives und shpeak mit der Cherman accent (either serious, Ludwig Von Drake style, or Peter Sellers) and can fool anyone that doesn't know me. If I do that in front of someone in authority, should I be tossed in the jug?

How do two foreign looking men,


Sorry to have upset you.

Are ready to read the rest of what I said?

each with a large backpack,


walk together amidst such a large police presence?


Certainly the bomb sniffing dogs and profiling are not mutually exclusive?

Just their walking in file and not conversing, as if on a mission, should sound the Hardy Boys 101 alarm.


Just what is a police presence for if they don't find huge backpacks that they are not wearing suspect?

Are they supposed to stop and search each person with a backpack, or only those with "huge" backpacks?

How huge? What's the cutoff?

Also, have you heard of something called the Fourth Amendment?
 
Well I never take a backpack with extra clothes and flip flops when I run a road race. Oh wait, I do. Never mind.
 
Was the autopsy/slab picture of Tamerlan ever verified by the authorities.
Even now dopes are still claiming the naked guy arrested was him too.
 
For someone posting topics on how the NWO is going to make lockdowns the norm and day to day invasions of privacy, you surely do want those foreigners back packs search a heck of a lot Mr Moore.

If you saw a black man with a gun would you tell the police you saw a black man with a gun?

If you saw a white man with a gun would you tell the police you saw a white man with a gun?

If you saw a foreign looking man with a gun would you tell the police you saw a foreign looking man with a gun?

If you told a policeman you saw a person with a gun what would the policeman ask you?
 
Again, for someone posting topics on how the NWO is going to make lockdowns the norm and day to day invasions of privacy, you surely do want those foreigners back packs search a heck of a lot, and their guns removed.

Do you aspire to work for the NWO? Sure sounds like you'd fit their bill. You should talk to Horatius.
 
Really? Where would you stow it? Never mind. :D

Like I said...you've never been at a marathon.

That's what friends are for, and why there's so many congregating at the finish.

Plus of course all the race volunteers lined up along the course with water, gatorade, bananas. (My own marathon rule was; nothing solid after the first two miles. But I'd even eaten a cupcake during the first part of a 20-miler.)

And presuming you missed the point (it might be subtle) it hardly matters whether they were talking or not talking. This is a marathon crowd. A lot of the time you can't tell if the person standing NEXT to you is talking unless you read lips!

No. No. No.

Policeman - "So what? It's legal to carry a gun, have a nice day sir."

I read the whole post. It failed at "foreign looking". I still have no idea what you mean. How can anyone, other than a Native American, not look "foreign" in a country made up of immigrants?

Actually, the whole "foreign looking" thing is just silly, because people look like, well, people. Of course, if I went around wearing Lederhosen (you can't pay me enough, nor can anyone get me that intoxicated), you might draw an inference. Or I could just be an American wearing Lederhosen.

Good point. You wanna be politically correct with people's lives good for you.
 
Clayton, an 18-year-old recently collapsed and died during the Toronto Marathon. It turned out she had an undiagnosed heart defect. Now do you understand why wheelchairs are available at marathons?

And you make a good point. The presence of wheelchairs is de riguer at marathon events. I cannot fathom why anyone would think it odd.

That's very sad to hear Laurel. :(

Me neither, but Clayton thought so in this post and then changed the subject with a JAQ diatribe, so I wanted to remind him about this issue.

Maybe you can enlighten us as to why less seriously injured people who were taken away on a stretcher were tended to before Jeff Bauman.
