Soo the question has to be asked; What makes one story more important than another??

Ya'll gotta stop making it easy for these lames to get something to run with with **** like this. Dudes had nothing to say till they saw this and started salivating about the direction they could now move the thread.
a terrorist attack committed on American soil seems like a big deal to me
If there are no casualties than it really doesn't become a big story, unless it's local.Facts
Granted that both incidents are terrorist attacks in each of their own way, you would think that America would be more concerned with an attack that was done on American soil...

But isn't a terrorist attack still a terrorist attack? Regardless of the extremity? Hell, even a FAILED attack gets more shine than the NAACP situation. When they caught son with a bomb in his shoe on a plane, they made a big deal out if it for a month. Did anyone get hurt in that situation?
and the "underwear bomber" as well...
— Dec. 25, 2009: The so-called "underwear bomber," Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, is subdued by passengers and crew after trying to blow up an airliner heading from Paris to Detroit using explosives hidden in his undergarments. He's sentenced to life in prison.
— Jan. 17, 2011: A backpack bomb is placed along a Martin Luther King Day parade route in Spokane, Wash., meant to kill and injure participants in a civil rights march, but is found and disabled before it can explode. White supremacist Kevin Harpham is convicted and sentenced to 32 years in federal prison.
— May 1, 2010: Pakistani immigrant Faisal Shahzad leaves an explosives-laden SUV in New York's Times Square, hoping to detonate it on a busy night. Street vendors spot smoke coming from the vehicle and the bomb is disabled. Shahzad is arrested as he tries to leave the country and is sentenced to life in prison.
a little off topic but check the sentencing...
Until then, all balding, middle-aged White men in the area should be advised to remain at home.Disgusting. Hope they catch the idiot that did this and throw the book at him.
post is so gold........and it's hilarious how the usual trolls are ducking this threadUntil then, all balding, middle-aged White men in the area should be advised to remain at home.Disgusting. Hope they catch the idiot that did this and throw the book at him.
You wouldn't want to fit the description of a terrorist bomber.
Though Colorado has legalized the private, personal use of marijuana, citizens may not carry more than one ounce and may not consume it openly or publicly. Any balding, White male carrying more than one ounce may feel the urge to run if approached by police officers. DO NOT RUN. You will be summarily executed for your own safety and left to decompose in the street. Even if asked to produce identification, do not reach into your pocket or waistband. Keep your hands and face in view at all times while in public.
No matter how aggressively you might be treated by police officers, remain calm and submissive at all times. Remember, as long as you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about. You'll just be temporarily detained and lightly abused from time to time to preserve the public peace.
If you, as a balding White man of a certain age, are resentful of the additional scrutiny and suspicion to which you and those "like you" have been subjected, perhaps you should direct your outrage at your own community. The "profile" exists for a reason, after all.
Did I forget anything?
I think it's fair to say that if EVERYONE were so profiled by law enforcement, there would be no more profiling.
As it stands, you could put a burning cross on a family's lawn and your religion will not be called into question for it. (At worst, you'd be referred to as an extremist whose views pervert, rather than exemplify, your religion.)
If the assumptions that you make in this case - that it's the work of a lone maniac who no more represents balding, White males than he does Americans or Coloradans in general, were applied to other "terrorist" acts - or to criminal acts perpetrated by people of color - our nation's system of justice would be a lot more just.

Profiling is not about racism. It's about statistics and probability. If blacks commit more crimes than any other race, they are going to be stopped more than any other race.
This is far too easy to debunk, shirley you can't be serious? it's so basic.
