Re: Muslims arrested for trespassing at reservoir
A late-night field trip to a reservoir? If they're innocent, it was a damn stupid thing to do, Muslim or not.

Education and career interests in what? Al-Qaeda?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.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Re: Muslims arrested for trespassing at reservoir
What's weird is the size of the group... if they didn't have anything to poison the water with, reconnaissance en force doesn't make sense.
If they are innocent, they are even stupider... were they drunk?

I'm pretty sure if they were terrorists they would not have given an explanation that involved being recently graduated college students who just so happened to have all studied chemical engineering unless they were trying for the free visit to Gitmo.Tyrannical wrote:klr wrote:A late-night field trip to a reservoir?

Re: Muslims arrested for trespassing at reservoir
Pretty much the definition of reasonable suspicion for an arrest (now if they had all been shot dead it might have been a different matter)
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

And maybe the women needed to be escorted by close male relatives. If not, that would be an even bigger scandal back in their home countries ...

Re: Muslims arrested for trespassing at reservoir
Have they not heard of torture in that part of America?
If I was one of them, I'd be on a plane out now. Or on a bus to Canada, that would be their best bet.

Re: Muslims arrested for trespassing at reservoir
Well, yeah, trodding on property designated "no trespassing" is pretty much a good indicator that one is trespassing. It's not only reasonable suspicion, it's law enforcement witnessing the commission of an offense. They aren't going to just explain what their reasonable suspicion was for making an arrest -- they're going to be testifying as fact witnesses. It's like a cop witnessing a bar fight.MrJonno wrote:Pretty much the definition of reasonable suspicion for an arrest (now if they had all been shot dead it might have been a different matter)

They won't get anywhere -- not without their passports, which I bet they had to turn in in exchange for being released.mistermack wrote:Have they not heard of torture in that part of America?
