So, basically, you think his Middle Eastern descent had nothing to do with him being questioned?

Under what reasoning did the police have for singling him out for questions and an apartment search if it wasn't for his nationality and/or ethnicity??

No, it's not. There were 500,000 people in Boston for the marathon. Why should he have been singled out?

I'm not sure how he was so persecuted?

As for the rest of the questions - do you know if any other people of ANY color that were searched, questioned, etc? No, you don't.

Personally, I think it might be a white guy. First place to look is in the WH - I think Bill Ayers frequents the place. And this attack has Weather Underground written all over it.

What if he said no, I dont want to answer any questions? No, I don't want you to search my apartment? Was he free to go at any time or was he detained?

Police do have the right to ask questions. You have the right not to answer. They dont have the right to illegally detain you.

We'll find out eventually, but here are some things to keep in mind. From No Quarter - "If they find traces of PETN and RDX then the source was probably SEMTEX. It there is TATP, however, then the attention will turn to a Salafist group with ties to Al Qaeda."

From the same blog - Pressure Cooker with TATP? : NO QUARTER USA NET
No, that's not what i'm saying at all. I want to know why THIS Saudi was singled out? Just because he was on the sidewalk? Is that how you want to be treated?

500,000 people were not standing near by the main explosion!

Remember what happened to the Ambassador to Libya, and three other embassy employees? The brutality, rape and torture they endured before being killed...just one example. Your white guilt trip doesn't work....sorry!

Hell no, I'd rather be in bed with a hot babe. But he was a Saudi and bombs exploded. Tough on him. I don't hear him whining about it, why are you?

How do you know he was singled out? Do you know for a FACT that nobody else was questioned? Why, because the MSM said so?

How do we know what the cameras show. If they show a person of Middle Eastern descent, but avoid questioning anyone of that description because we might hurt their feelings, are you OK with that?

Until you are involved in the investigation, you don't know what anyone knows.
