Let's keep 'em scared people!!

Have you heard the one about flight 327??

Our local radio station talked about it a couple of weeks ago and this morning they started on again - being half asleep and mildly intriuged I followed the "story"

If you haven't heard about it - it goes like this. Apparently on flight 327 to LAX a group of 14 Middle Eastern (Syrian actually) individuals made frequent trips to the bathroom and congregated in small groups. The passengers got a little sp0oked by this (understatement) and when the flight landed at LAX the feds were waiting to question the 14 men who apparently were musicians on their way to a gig - they were grilled and released without charge. The article was writen by some hysterical female journalist on the flight who I bet wouldn't have noticed these antics had the colour of the 14 men been white.

Back to the radio - the DJ's had a flight attendant on the phone and she was saying how they watch men of middle eastern appearance and she suggested racial profiling should be compulsory, then came the bullsh*t. One of the DJ's started going on about a flight being forced to land at Hill AFB, just up the road from us and when they searched the lavatory they found a half constructed bomb - now that got my attention. The other male DJ who is an annoying git at the best of times started talking about nuclear devices. I turned the radio off at that point but was still interested enough to check out the local news wires and the internet. Guess what - nothing!

It did make me wonder though - most people who listen to that show are retards - I only listen to it for 20 minutes so I'm a 20 minute retard. They won't go and check the facts - so they will go around today and on Friday when they have Mizz Hysteria herself on the show - telling people how there was a half assembled bomb found on a plane at Hill and that it could have been nuclear. Hey they heard it on the radio so it must be true!

My search did turn up one website though - all you have to do is put in "half assembled bomb" on google and it is the only hit! This site was talking about what the guy who runs it would do if he were on a plane where he thought a gentleman of middle eastern appearance was a terrorist and therefore threatening his life. He would take him out - as in kill him - or "beat the sh*t out of him" as one of his posters suggested. Anyone suggesting that maybe they should not jump to conclusions was told they were a "fool" "idiot" etc. As one of the posts put it "better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6" - I wonder how long it is before we get the first murder of a g.o.m.e.a................................
