Its quite telling that right wingers thought a social service network that worked primarily in the inner city would see a guy dressed like that and think he was a real pimp.

http://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/08/04/fbi-middle-eastern-men-intimidating-u-s-military-families-in-colorado-wyoming/

quote:

– An alert has been issued by the FBI to all law enforcement agencies in Colorado and Wyoming involving U.S. military families and concerns about who may be watching them.
The alert says Middle Eastern men are approaching families of U.S. military members at their homes in Colorado and Wyoming. It mentions Greeley, Colorado, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, as the specific areas.
In one case last May the wife of a military member was approached in front of her home by two Middle Eastern males. The men stated that she was the wife of a U.S. interrogator. When she denied their claims the men laughed. The two men left the area in a dark-colored, four-door sedan with two other Middle Eastern males in the vehicle.
“The woman had observed the vehicle in the neighborhood on previous occasions,” the alert states.
Similar incidents in Wyoming have been reported to the FBI throughout June 2015.

Something seems....off about this alert.

:shrug: I don't know, that is what gets me about the warning. Apparently its happened to more than a couple people, or I doubt the FBI would be releasing it, but they are very vague on what is actually going on.

Yesterday, Delta Airlines announced that they would no longer transport the big game carcasses of lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo trophies.

And here we go

will Delta and American also no longer transport Planned Parenthood employees? They’re brutally murdering and selling human babies for profit. What about the body parts Planned Parenthood sells? Who’s flying them to their buyers? Why are we more freakin concerned about killing big game then we are about people killing babies?! WHY?

And

a business can be forced to bake a cake in violation of their conscience, but no one’s calling out Delta and American for intolerance towards hunters on this one? Well, those evil hunters can just find another airline! True. And our gay friends can just find another baker, too… right?

No bet. The truck was labeled "Broken Arrow" and the base was part of JH training.

What makes these men strange, in your opinion? More strange than any other stranger.

And no, I don't consider "is Ms. Radbot your wife" inquiring about my personal life as that's a matter of public record. If that's harassment, I have suffered greatly at the hands of telemarketers everywhere.

The fact that these women don't know the inquirers, that their line of inquiry implies a belief that these women might be related to someone who could have enemies who would want to harm them through their families, and the fact that they do not appear to have introduced themselves, or volunteered any information that would reassure these women.

It's that last bit that has people the most worried, I expect. Usually when people have a legitimate reason to contact you, they do the polite thing and introduce themselves before asking about your family life.

Telemarketers call you on the phone, they do not show up randomly and accost you as you are doing yardwork. They also represent a company or organization. You are telling a bunch of threatened women they should just suck up harassment by men.

I'm having a internal debate in my head about something.

While flipping through the local right wing nutjob station I heard someone apologetically call in and rave about how Obama is a secret kenya, muslim among other things.

I'm kind of wondering at one point does it go from being free speech to allowing dangerously uniformed lunatics the right to rant and rave on air?

I'm a tad bit terrified that these people are allowed on air without people really given the ample time to be correct with actual facts and statistics.
