So the guy doesn't speak english, he didn't threaten anyone, and he was just standing there....  ?

Sounds like a pretty tough target!

I wonder if we will find that this was a case of dramatically mistaken intentions by law enforcement, or if the guy is a nitwit.

Yes, we should have waited to see if he indeed had a bomb(s) in the suitcases. We should have waited to see if he detonated them, it's the only way to be sure he was a bad guy.

The police didnt even take the suitcases?  They feared a possible explosion but leave the *potential* bombs at the Whitehouse?
What the heck is wrong with those guys? :confused:

Clarify...  he was just standing there, and when some security people asked him what he was doing, he indicated that he didn't speak english, if I read correctly.

Are you suggesting that it is appropriate to tackle people for not speaking english?  Or was there something else he did that was threatening?  As far as I know, it's not illegal to have two suitcases.  If it was, everyone in the aviation biz would have died of anxiety decades ago.

Explain again what specifically he did that made being tackled/arrested appropriate?  The news seems to be a bit sparse on the subject.

What we know:
1. He had two suitcases.
2. He was standing in front of the capitol looking out at the view.
3. He didn't speak english.

I've been guilty of #1 and #2, and I'm not so great at #3 if you believe my report cards from school.

Everyone seems to have convicted him already without any evidence.  Which of you thought the police officer in the $2 Best Buy case was an idiot when he incited '9/11' as part of why they hand-cuffed the innocent guy for 3 hours?  Any overlap between you and those yelling for blood from what may just be a tourist?

Supposedly he was standing in the same place for quite awhile and kept looking over his shoulder.

Ok, but tackling seems a bit rough for loitering.  

I'm not suggesting that the police are thugs, they might know stuff about what he did that isn't in the news, but I AM a bit surprised at how blase most of you seem to be about assuming his guilt.  

On the data that's in the news, it doesn't seem justified.  I'm sure more will come out, but y'all are quick to judge.

Ok, some nice police officer walks up to the man, finds out the man cannont speak English. Trys to gently remove him from the area, the man pushes the red button and poof.

Can we afford to take the chance?..simple facts are people should know better than to do certain things in certain places.
