Steely-eyed religio-terrorists are driving large trucks repeatedly around the central blocks of downtown Raleigh, stopping in front of public buildings. They are doing this today.
And nobody seems to care.
Why? These guys are members of Americas favorite terrorist group - the anti-Choice zealots. On their trucks are ten foot high pictures of aborted fetuses with the word "CHOICE" on it.
(Message: if you're pro choice, you like abortion and you want to see the results. (It makes me want to rent a truck and put a picture of an abandoned, drug addicted, 11 year old prostitute on it, with the message "WHAT PROLIFERS WOULD PREFER TO DO WITH UNWANTED KIDS" -- just as [un]fair a message, but that's not the point of the post.))
If these guys were dark-skinned and bearded, they'd have been pulled out of their trucks on suspicion of terrorism.
But they are not. When they kill doctors, it's not terrorism, in fact it's actually debated whether or not they were committing justifiable homicide. When they blow up buildings, it's not terrorism - no, they retreat to the mountains and become folk heroes.
Now, these guys are implicitly threatening the population of downtown Raleigh, and no one pays any attention. Really, what other message is conveyed by repeatedly stopping a large moving van right next to the auxiliary Federal Building/U.S. Courthouse? Oklahoma City is the implicit threat. Do you doubt what would happen if the trucks had ten foot high letters saying "Allah'u Akbar!"?
Let me repeat - people with a fringe political/religious message are driving and repeatedly stopping large moving vans around and near state and federal institutional buildings in downtown Raleigh. Isn't anyone the least bit concerned?
