7 Caught Trespassing At Quabbin Reservoir; Patrols Stepped Up Across State « CBS Boston

Quote:
State Police say the five men and two women are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and “cited their education and career interests” for being in the area. The men told police they were chemical engineers and recent college graduates.


The Quabbin, in Belchertown, is one of the country’s largest man-made public water supplies. Boston’s drinking water comes from the Quabbin and the Wachusett Reservoirs.

Hey..we're PC and "welcome" everyone from every country.
We don't profile and our government has a higher suspicion of us over foreigners.
Heck, Saudi Arabia is a "trusted" nation even according to the DHS.

We will get what we deserve sooner or later for our stupidity.

Just telling it like it is square wheel.
The truth hurts doesn't it ?

That Boston bomber left the country, went to Camp Jihad to learn terrorism, flew back and our government "didn't know squat" after a decade of spending hundreds of billions to "keep the nation safe". Russia warned us but we think we're above everyone else and if we don't know about it then no one else does.

LOL..not bitter. Just realistic, knowing that our government can't keep us safe.

lol, you sounded bitter.
I guess it's just the flagrant 'wah wah wah, PC is out to get me' that threw me.
Try sounding original, and I think people will think you less a tool.

Other than that, we're probably on the same page.
Of course, the US has had problems filling engineering jobs for a decade.
if we're not going to invest in out education system, I guess we can just give up the ghost... or keep foreign students coming to our colleges, and hopefully filling those positions. I know, I know, PC!!! Wah.

I'd rather engineers from China/India who just want our specs for financial reasons then those from the ME where they hate our guts and wouldn't hesitate killing us.

Yeah..I would discriminate and profile. The few good ones that don't get here outweigh the bad ones that would and cause serious damage.

A few people might read the article...
"BELCHERTOWN (CBS) – Shortly after midnight Tuesday, seven people were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir."
I'm sure it was simply a tour for educational purposes

Certainly.

Anything else would be racial / cultural profiling.

LOL, if you think China/India engineers or fanatics aren't the same, then you're fooling yourself.

Start profiling from that manner, and it's simply a matter of time before it's used on you.
