Your analogy does not hold, as the guy was not prevented from doing anything. He was questioned, searched, and spied on by the FBI. As far as we know, no direct, material harm came to him.
- Vivtek 16y agoDo you think white Christians who have visited Idaho should be confronted verbally at length by policemen whenever attempting to rent trucks? Especially if they're carrying a Bible? Should the rental truck police demand to know whether they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, implying that if they do, they should definitely not be allowed to enter Oklahoma? Should the mothers of white Christians renting trucks have their phones tapped by the FBI? You could already have constructed this analogy. Instead you choose to be disingenuous about it. Don't you think America should be capable of doing better than this?
- swolchok 16y agoStill doesn't hold. Idaho is neither a separate country, nor, more importantly, is it home to established organizations with ties to the government of said separate country, overtly dedicated to terrorist activity founded on extremist beliefs. Renting trucks isn't particularly analogous with flying to such a place. Policemen are not customs agents at a border crossing.
