There's a big difference between "worrying" and "scared" and "terrified". You'd figure an englit major would know this.

I live two blocks from the new 1WTC and several major financial institutions like the American Express HQ. I walk to class every day without a fear in my mind. Yet when stuff like this happens, it makes you perk your ears up. There's nothing wrong with staying alert. I've already reported a suspicious package that was outside of the polling station when I voted a few weeks ago.

ra ra ra englit major, hahahahaha

the fact is if your mind is perturbed at all by news like this, then you're caught-up in the whole hype around it. your paragraph about 'where you live' and rumours of 'suspicious packages' paint a pretty silly picture. yeah yeah i live in london, i'm constantly terrified! back at home i live 0.3 miles away from GCHQ, which is the identified top-nuke target in britain. im a bit worried! i saw a half-empty shopping bag outside the door of my local bank yesterday... i checked twice!

You're right. We should further cut the funding of counterterrorism ops in NYC.

Yes. It's completely redundant. That's the job of the FBI. Why pay to have the same job done 2-3 times like we do now?

And this. You only hear them in the news when they make a big hit every decade or so. Then people get excited, shower money on them, and they go back to jerking off in their offices for another 9 years. It's how government agencies work.

He probably believed his teachers when they told him they were underpaid and overworked too.

I live in the Financial District. If anyone should be worried most, it's me and other residents of Manhattan/large scale cities. Typically I'm not, but it's clear they're going for small scale car bomb attacks now. And that's worrying. One slips under the radar...

Thanks Poseidon, you just let the terrorists win.

That's like saying local police is redundant because the FBI works on the federal level. Absolutely no logic behind it. When it's clear that they're switching to tactics like this (with the Times Square Bomber pretty much having succeeded if it wasn't for him being a retard when it comes to bomb making), a change in tactic is necessary.

I'm talking about putting further funding into intelligence and sting operations for local police departments.

Yeah, honestly, I don't either. My city is a safe haven for a lot of African refugees. The vast majority of them are fine, but the two nationalities that seem to cause the most trouble here are Sudanese and Somalians.

My brother was robbed at gunpoint by a Sudanese kid a few years ago.

So? I do live there now...I wasn't around for 9/11 but people are still plotting stuff here now. Is there anything productive you wanted to add to the conversation?

Oh wait, look who I'm talking to. Don't you have the girl problems thread to tell everyone you're depressed about your ex or something?

Did his mugger just happen to slip the fact he was from Sudan into the conversation or something?

My brother is the kind of guy that handles stress well. At the time of his mugging, he was washing his car at one of those 24 hour self service places. It was late at night, and in hindsight, he probably shouldn't have been there at that hour.

Anyway, he retained the presence of mind to mentally put together various details about the guy robbing him. He noticed the teen's accent and was able to remember very clearly what the guy looked like.

The robber took his wallet, but he didn't take his phone. Immediately after he left the scene, my brother called the cops and then called his credit card company to deactivate his credit card. And yes, he actually did have his credit card company's phone number in his contact list, but that's because of a previous incident we had with someone intercepting his account information from an online purchase. Needless to say, he's the kind of guy that is prepared.

It was simple enough to catch this robber because he tried using my brother's card at a convenience store down the street from the robbery, and he was caught on camera. Between this and not wearing a mask while committing the robbery, the police were also able to connect this robbery with other ones he had apparently committed in the previous days. His driver was also caught.

During the trial, we found out this kid was still on a visa, 18 years old, and was Sudanese born. We never did hear what sentencing he got, but since he wasn't a full fledged citizen, there's a good chance he may have been deported.

I was was robbed at gunpooint a year ago. Maybe I should have given them my credit card. They might have caught them. Instead the detectives gave ME a polygraph test. They said it was just in case they caught them and they had a slick lawyer ."did you question the driver.. etc.". Whatever, im sure it was for more than one reason.

So they set fire to a mosque in Oregon (the Corvallis mosque where Portland bomb plot suspect Mohamed Osman Mohamud sometimes attended). If you've followed this story at all you'd know that the initiatives that turned this guy up to the FBI and Homeland Security came from the Islamic community in Oregon.

So now we reward peoples anti-terror efforts by setting fire their mosque. People.are.dumb.
