Not like those are the only jobs no one wants.

Look, re_nortex, I am not here to defend Islam. I hate Islam. In my mind it is a greater evil than communism.
I was just about to turn in, samtheman, but caught your message and felt that I owe you the courtesy of a reply, albeit a quick one. I too hate islam with a burning intensity. The reason I dig in my heels and defend the Irving ISD on this matter is that they demonstrated that muzzies are under suspicion. As as for the PD, the article claims:

They led Ahmed into a room where four other police officers waited. He said an officer he’d never seen before leaned back in his chair and remarked: “Yup. That’s who I thought it was.”

Whether or not that account is factual is not germane to my point. The perception ought to be among all muzzies in this Republic that they're being constantly watched and not trusted. Yes, treated differently. Profiled. Dare I say discriminated against.

My hope is that incidents such as this make them wake up and realize they are simply not wanted here. In short, my dream is their day-to-day lives suffer what they perceive to be insults and humiliations. Ultimately, they'll get the message that they are not welcome in America because, frankly, they're not.

Apologies in advance because this time, for sure, I'm heading off to bed. I don't normally post and run but must due to the hour. I'll be back around in about eight hours and, if you wish, we can engage later. So again, good night and/or good morning!

It's some sort of escalation of the story and I don't get it. Are different people claiming different parts? Because it seems that literally every single facet of the story has to be falsified.

Ahmed* is a 16-year-old* high school student* who aspires* to join NASA* who came to school one day* with a digital clock* of his own invention* and was unfairly* targeted by staff and police* for his Muslim-sounding name* and was later invited* by Obama* and NASA* as compensation* for his* mistreatment*.

Like, you think it'd be easier just to let this situation play out naturally rather than engineer literally every single molecule of the situation and the response.

Just because one thinks one part is fishy, every part must be a lie? Did any of it actually happen? Is Ahmed real? Is Obama real?

Well, I guess originally all the retards thought the clock was a briefcase instead of a pencil box, so
I suppose they realize now that "Yeah, that was stupid, but he's muslim, so he can't be a victim" so now it's a game of finding new ways to justify arresting him or just discrediting him as much as they can.

I got 200 a month when I was on stamps, but I had absolutely no income at the time either, not for lack of trying
Now on the other end when yearly layoffs came around I got almost the full amount of 300 every two weeks (normal weekly pay working was 400) and the guys that tried to cheat the system got busted during a crackdown where they were all terminated, taken to court by the state and forced to pay every cent back through whatever means deemed applicable
