BigV, how stupid do you think I am? Read the sarcasm between the lines.
This column makes it out like a battle of us versus them, and the definition of
them is widening every day.
Kitsune observed
"...there is something about this that makes me think that this is a big statement being put out by the city of Boston that condemns any action that is outside the accepted norm" and I agree. And furthermore, the dreadlocked, non-citizen suspect makes a great scapegoat because he is
different from
us.
Which brings us to the subject of what do "terrorists" (or "suspects" as this story is framed
by the media, not
me) look like?
Or, to over-explain this to the Nth degree: do "terrorists" "look" a certain way?
NO!
Would you have suspected McVeigh, based on
appearance?
NO! Get it?
It's not a
total non-statement to hold a press conference about
appearance, IE haircuts in this case.
