Oh wait- this is probably the profile of many posters who are "pro-profiling" (for now....)
lol

In all fairness though, I think profiling works to a certain degree, but everybody is ticking time bomb.

I've stayed in Japan for over 8 years,There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is a very narrow minded religion and one should stay away from it. There is systematic discrimination against Muslims in Japan and it is true.

I am not saying they are right and I do not support discrimination. But that is how Japan does things.

The Special Agent, otherwise known as a FBI profiler, creates criminal profiles using observations and statistical probability. The art of criminal profiling revolves around compiling a personality of the criminal and in-depth analysis based on how the crime was committed.

Behavior profiling perhaps works better in real life scenarios. In my opinion only.

they also say they're against profiling but the door to door searches w/o a warrant (direct violation of the constitution) was ok.

Do you feel that the FBI wastes money and resources by using profilers?
No that is what I said. Don't ASSume too much.

The following is what I said

The better solution is to arm all people of the USA and let them keep an eye out and profile if they wish.
Your better solution sounds a tad like what Muslims in France achieved whereby 751 neighborhoods are " No Go Zones. Matters are left to the equivelent of a local cleric ( sheriff) who believes he answers to no one other than his God.

I was living in Boston at the time of the bombing. I heard ABSOLUTELY NO ONE on any cable, local or print media speculating this.

Please don't just make things. Many will think you are telling the truth because they don't know better.

I heard a few commentators on MSNBC speculating to that effect. I have a pretty clear memory of this though I can't remember specifically who it was. Fortunately the police solved the case very quickly so that kind of speculation had a very short shelf life.

My solution is how free people remain free.
There is no comparison to attacking anyone.
Defense is not offense. Too many confuse that.

Both Ed Schultz and Chris Mathews, where wishing it be a right wing attack.
No Ed... No Chris, it was their Muslim brothers they constantly cover for. Blew their bubble.

Chris Matthews: ‘Normally’ Domestic Terrorists ‘Tend to Be on the Far Right’

By Scott Whitlock | April 15, 2013
Just hours after explosions rocked the Boston Marathon on Monday, Chris Matthews speculated, "Normally domestic terrorists, people, tend to be on the far right."

Thanks BentBow. Yes I remember now it was the on Chris Matthews show. "Hardball" I think it's called. He and a couple of guests were speculating on whether it was a right wing extremist operation to commemorate the Oklahoma City bombing which also took place on an April 15. I remember being surprised to hear this coming from Matthews who I had always considered sensible and fair minded. I never watched his show again after that.
