Now the left is FOR profiling
Wasn't it just yesterday that profiling was bad? Now that an abortionist has been murdered it's back in, we need to profile pro-lifers according to Norm Stamper at Huffpo.
Quote:
As far back as 1982, we learned that anywhere from 5 to 20 percent of all criminals commit approximately 80 percent of all (non-drug related) crimes. When a criminal like Scott Roeder establishes a clear pattern of violent and destructive behavior he cries out to be "profiled" by the police. Especially in an era when people like William James O'Reilly (whose Fox TV producers engage in their own form of stalking) demonize the legal conduct of doctors like George Tiller. (O'Reilly's smirking self-righteousness cannot mask the fact that he's helped inflame the passions and harden the criminal resolve of the fixated edges of the anti-reproductive rights movement.)
It's heartening to note that Attorney General Eric Holder has dispatched U.S. Marshals to abortion clinics across the country in order to provide an extra measure of protection and security.
But why does it take yet another killing to spur responsible law enforcement action?
Have they mentioned anything about the murder of Private William Long at Huffpo yet? Should we not also profile the extremists that harass military recruiters and vandalize recruitment centers? Leftist environmental terrorists? Radical Muslim elements? Magazine writers that list conservative women they want to hatef**k?
