I didn't mean literally "we" I meant the U.S should find the guy before moving on to CIR. Yes I'm illegal and I jut said that lol.

We all have our priorities, the FBI has the situation covered. We've been fighting too long to have CIR get put off..

Just saw on Twitter ALIPAC requesting immigration status of saudi national thts being guarded. Not good

Re: Explosion reported near finish line of Boston Marathon
 

OK, people. A Saudi national was arrested, but as we don't have all the details on what happened, let's not be like those right-wing nutjobs who think all brown people are terrorists. Or for that matter, the idiotic national media we are forced to deal with like CNN, Fox News...they're all a pile of shit.

First of all, that person could, for all we know, actually be innocent and was arrested to cover the BPD's assess. Saudi guy near the marathon? Must be a terrorist! /sarcasm

If it does turn out that the person they have in custody is innocent, I honestly wouldn't be surprised as it wouldn't be the first time people have jumped to conclusions because somebody near the scene of crime just happened to be foreign.

Im not saying it was him or that it will effect CIR in anyway all im saying is that conservetive groups already trying to link this to immigration

So basically, the NY post and Fox News, both of which are being cited as sources for this "Saudi national detained for bombings" bullshit, are predictably stoking the fires of xenophobia.

Re: Explosion reported near finish line of Boston Marathon
 

BPD is refuting that anyone has been arrested in connection with the event.I also saw the ALIPAC request and think they are extremely vile individuals looking to capitalize on the terror and fear of others.

Re: Explosion reported near finish line of Boston Marathon
 

Yes, my point was how only after a few hours of this happening you have this right wing groups trying to exploit it to their advantage.

Re: Explosion reported near finish line of Boston Marathon
 

I think so, too. They, and their kin at Fox News and the NY Post, which is the b.s. rag that started this "Saudi national arrested" bullshit.

More confirmation that the NY Post is bullshit:

I feel so awful for everybody who was at the marathon. This is senseless violence, no matter who is responsible.

Re: Explosion reported near finish line of Boston Marathon
 

CNN reported that police walked into the womens hospital to interview a saudi national but that nobody is currently in custody. We might be jumping to conclusions and it might be more a Timothy McVeigh thing.
