Ten-Four, Allahu Ackbhar
(Via Fark) Five pillars, eighteen wheels, and seventy-two virgins... could he be any more obvious? A truck-driving student is in custody in Boston after raising suspicions when he wasn’t interested in learning how to back up his rig. But here's the dumb part: “Every indicator was there,” R.I. State Police Major Steve O’Donnell told WLVI. “Any one of these things alone is fine, but four or five together . . . ” That's right. Never mind the multiple drivers licenses or overstaying your visa. Those, on their own, are perfectly fine in the United States. Nothing to see here. Please drive through. And being a Muslim, well, that's just wonderful. Nothing wrong with that on it's own. We're not haters here, you know. But for God's sake, don't truckers in Rhode Island need to learn how to back the truck up? If it had been some white English-speaking citizen with one driver's license from Rhode Island not wanting to learn how to back his truck up, would that have been fine? 15 Responses To "Ten-Four, Allahu Ackbhar"
other suspicious signs are when they don't want to know how to lift the seat , replace the toilet paper roll or even how to flush the toilet. don't truckers in Rhode Island need to learn how to back the truck up? Probably not. By the time you back up a truck in Rhode Island, you're in Connecticut or Massachusetts, aren't you? Good one Jim. Late night would pay good money for that joke. Late night would pay good money for that joke. No they won't... they may steal it... but they never acknowledge that it came fom somebody else.
You severely underestimate the terrorist potential this guy poses. He could fill his truck with illegals and ram it into some important building, causing untold destruction to the tune of thousands of inexpensive man-hours of agricultural labor. #5 - Posted by: Tommy the Towelhead on December 11, 2006 02:45 PMUm...Is this a joke, or are you guys idiots? It's clearly one of the two, but sarcasm is difficult to communicate via plain text. I don't see how the fact that he didn't want to learn to back up (whatever that means, the article didn't elaborate), combined with dodgy immigration status (against the law, but far from uncommon) and Islam means the guy is obviously a terrorist. If you guys are going to wet your pants every time a Muslim engages in behavior you find confusing, let me know now so I can invest in Depend diapers. #6 - Posted by: Paul on December 12, 2006 02:11 PMPaul... take a moment read the motherf-ing post again. The humor part of it is not in the fact that this guy was a Muslim not wanting to learn how to back up and being on an expired visa ... the humor is in the fact that a law enforcement official is o nthe record saying it's okay to overstay your visa illegally or the fact that it's okay not needing to learn to back up your truck. If you're going to read more material here, I'd suggest removing your head from your ass, sitting on your hands for a bit, and then reading with an unobstructed view. #7 - Posted by: Laurence Simon on December 12, 2006 02:21 PM============================== Thanks for the clarification. Personally, I found that far less funny than the conclusion at the top of your post: ============================= Your notion that a puzzling unwillingness to learn how to back up (which, keep in mind, is completely unexplained) combined with a funky immigration status and Islam automatically means the guy was part of a terrorist plot, is much more funny than anything the arresting officer said. Thanks for the laughs. #8 - Posted by: Paul on December 12, 2006 02:38 PMGo ahead and bail the guy out and invite him over for tea, Paul. Be my guest. I'm sure you'll have a rip-roaring evening when he reaches for the ripcord on the explosive vest. #9 - Posted by: Laurence Simon on December 12, 2006 02:41 PM=============================== I see your problem. I point out the absurdity of concluding the guy is a terrorist from such flimsy proof, and you immediately leap to the idea that I want to be his best friend. With a grasp of logic like that, it absolutely clear why you believe the things you do. Any other words of wisdom you'd like to share? #10 - Posted by: Paul on December 12, 2006 02:49 PMThe whole story is that he was in a huge hurry to get a CDL with HAZMAT hauling endorsement. So you have a guy that is here on an expired visa, has multiple IDs, is only interested in driving forward, and wants a HAZMAT CDL ASAP. Kind of reminds you of certain other guys who only wanted to learn to fly the planes, not take off or land... #11 - Posted by: Marc on December 12, 2006 05:20 PMThe HAZMAT angle would give this whole story some legs...if it's true. So far, the only person making that contention appears to be Michelle Malkin, who makes the assertion in the title of her post, but somehow is unable to quote any news sources that make any reference to HAZMAT whatsoever. Of course, for people who accept Malkin's opinion for fact, quoting a news source would be redundant. Here in reality, however, the rest of us remain skeptical. #12 - Posted by: Paul on December 12, 2006 05:28 PMThe HAZMAT angle is spelled out in the news article in the Rhode Island News Michelle links to: http://www.projo.com/news/content/truck_student9_12-09-06_8V39VI9.304f038.html So, you in "reality" need to look a little harder before you start critisizing those of us that *do* a little research. #13 - Posted by: Marc on December 13, 2006 10:41 AMHere is the first paragraph from the news article from Rhode Island News "Federal terrorism officials and Rhode Island authorities converged this week to arrest an Indian citizen enrolled in a Smithfield tractor-trailer training school who was trying to obtain a commercial driver’s license and permit to haul hazardous materials." Gee, that was really hard to find. #14 - Posted by: Marc on December 13, 2006 03:59 PM//combined with a funky immigration status// Is "funky" the new word for "illegal"? Is breaking the law the new way to be cool and exciting? #15 - Posted by: shimauma on December 14, 2006 08:37 AMPost a comment
