My Courageous Stand with Star Simpson

[RogerFGay]

"I have no idea what a real bomb looks like," writes a blogger at machinist.salon.com (http://machinist.salon.com/blog/2007/09/21/star_simpson/), "but I don't think it’s a plastic board with a 9-volt battery on it."

19 year old M.I.T. student, Star Simpson showed up at Logan International Airport Friday to pick up a friend. Such an event would not normally kick up an international news storm, but Simpson had not taken the general stupidity index into account; something we're apparently required to do now.

RFG, Simpson is setting an example to the media.

Okay, here's what I really wanted to say. I love your avatar! The Day the Earth Stood Still is a classic! Cheesy, but a classic!

Thanks TR. The spin went out of control as soon as the first TV news report of a "fake bomb." She never suggested such a thing and cooperated completely with authorities all the way. Now prosecutors want to be hard on her because she didn't see reason for the fuss - a perfectly natural feeling for someone who didn't intend to create one.

[DoctorDoom]

Her error was using a damned Duracell battery. If it had been an Energizer, she'd have kept going and going and going ...

It was a stupid thing for the twit to do in a time when we're warring against barbarians who lust to kill us. It's all too inviting to screech "OVERREACTION!" after the fact, but IMO it's infinitely preferable to underreacting and winding up dead.

And BTW, the vast majority of people in the US if not in the world don't have a farking clue about what a breadboard is, let alone what one looks like. When in doubt, err on the side of caution.

"But now, in the calm light of day, when it is clear that it was just a misunderstanding, the idiots among us can’t let it go. Thank something – at least they’ve let her out on bail."

"Thank something?" - Why not thank God? I'm sure that is what you meant.

In today's climate, a stupid MIT Snotty Freaking Bitch showing up at an airport with something hung around her neck that could be taken as a bomb by the "uneducated" isn't funny.

Eastern Establishment Elitism.

Screw her and her sutpid joke.

I hope she gets jail time.

I'm sick to death of these, "I'm smarter than you," assholes who pull this shit.

Throw the book at her.

Courageous stand, my ass.

This Courageous individual probably thinks George Soros is Courageous.

[buzzthepug!]

She should be smacked upside the head for causing a comotion for the other travelers at the airport. Don't you know that incident slowed everything down at the airport! If I were a fellow traveler at the time I'd be pissed at her.

By the way, I've made up my mind to ram the face of a terrorist into a wall, should I have the displeasure of encountering one at an airport. So, if I ramed Star's face into a wall and accidently broke her neck would I still be liable even though she wasn't a "real" terrorist?

[RogerFGay]

I said the people at the airport didn't do wrong - from the woman who reported it to the troopers who came prepared. I'm not surprised she didn't get shot btw. I think the US likely has some of the best trained and capable law enforcement officers in the world. If I'm going to have anybody point a gun at me in a tense situation, I'd prefer it be an American cop.

Now prosecutors want to be hard on her . . . <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Sorry, but "hard on" doesn't seem to belong in a phrase concerning this woman.

:evilgrin:

Speaking for the real human male population, we'll take what we can get, and she ain't bad (although a bit young for me).

[RogerFGay]

She's Hawaiian:

In Hawaii, sympathy for MITstudent

Do you really think that about the author of the article?

Nope, that don't turn the crank either.

So, people who do not know what a breadboard or LEDS are, are stupid? That's a pretty stupid assertion.

Not recognizing a breadboard in the first place is not nearly as stupid as continuing to refer to it as a "fake bomb" or a "hoax bomb" after having it explained, with pictures, for several days. And those who show a complete inability to understand how it could be possible for an MIT student in computer engineering to perceive it as a non-threatening object borders on the sociopathic.
