On July 7th, passengers on the London public transit system were targeted by Islamic terrorists, and today it seems either some copy-cat cocksuckers, or worse, other members of the same Islamo-fascist group, planted “dummy” bombs on buses and trains in the biggest city in England. On my way to work this morning, listening to the news about these “fake” attacks, the reporter announced that security would be increased on the MAX line, our light-rail train here in Portland that runs about three quarters of a mile from start to finish, built at a cost of around 37 billion dollars a yard.

I couldn’t help but snort in amusement.

Increasing “police presence” in Portland after a terrorist attack in London is like increasing the security around Bobcat Goldthwait after an attempt on the life of Justin Timberlake. Also, when exactly did the hippies, busybodies and malcontents of the city of Portland start to value the presence of the police? According to Rose City Copwatch and whiney-pants faggots like Phil Busse, the cops in Portland ARE the problem, right? Sure, let’s completely ignore the fact that, for it’s relatively large size, Portland’s crime rate falls just a notch above Peoria, IL on a July 4th weekend.

I hate you Phil Busse, not just because you ran for mayor based on the premise of “Whatever you want, I’ll make sure the government gives it to you!” but because you have no respect for the men and women that leave their homes and families each and every day to hold up that thin blue line between your cushy suburban pad and the minor criminal element in Portland that consists mainly of meth-heads, their personal chefs or the occasional Democrat ex-Governor roaming the streets on the prowl for Oregon's youth.

The New York Times reported today that the NYPD will be conducting random searches of people and bags in the subway stations of NYC, in response to the London bombings. What the fuck took you so long? Oh, I know it was the ACLU, the Phil Busse’s of NYC, complete with equally cleft assholes. "The police can and should be aggressively investigating anyone they suspect is trying to bring explosives into the subway," said Christopher Dunn, associate legal director at the New York Civil Liberties Union. "However, random police searches of people without any suspicion of wrongdoing are contrary to our most basic constitutional values. This is a very troubling announcement."

Troubling? What exactly would the alternative be? Perhaps, in an effort to curb the police from searching and bothering people who most likely have nothing to do with such nefarious activities, the police could single out, according to their discretion, people who would fit the physical characteristics of the four men that bombed the London tube, or those that crashed planes into the World Trade Center, or bombed the USS Cole, or the Khobar Towers, or generally been responsible for the deaths of over 4,000 people since 1993.

Wait a tick, is the New York ACLU advocating profiling?
