Profiling

Profiling

       Since 911, the topic of profiling has been documented in many articles, by many authors and condemned by the self-righteous.  When any individual or society is presented with a threat there is a normal response to that threat, whether it is realized or presumed.  Attribution is a concept in social psychology referring to how individuals explain causes of events, other's behavior, and their own behavior.   Attribution looks to three main types of information from which to make an attribution decision about an individual's behavior. The first is consensus information, or information on how other people in the same situation and with the same stimulus behave. The second is distinctiveness information, or how the individual responds to different stimuli. The third is consistency information, or how frequent the individual's behavior can be observed with similar stimulus but varied situations. From these three sources of information observers make attribution decisions on the individual's behavior as either internal or external.  Certainly there have been some documented misuses in profiling and we need to remain vigilant so that they do not become an accepted practice or the norm.  But, profiling works in identifying potential threats and curtailing them before they are realized. 

     Consider a robbery at a gas station or convenience store, where a 6' 8", white male, in a green hooded parka threatens an attendant with a knife, steals sixty dollars in cash and flees on foot in the downtown area.  When the police post the B.O.L.O.  or the “Be On the Look Out” for an assailant.  They do not look for female midgets, short Asian males or individuals cruising in Cadillacs in the West end.  They turn their attention to the specifics of the real threat.  This is profiling.  And, unfortunately it works because it is logical and it deals with the real threat; an armed man, who may commit more robberies, or actually harm or kill someone.   It would be silly and illogical to pretend that there are not people of certain origins, who do not hold to certain beliefs, do not despise us and do not threaten harm.  But, unfortunately there are individuals and even groups of such who threaten our freedoms with fear tactics.   Until these individuals are identified we should profile and identify all real threats with vigilance, within the law, being mindful of due process.

Storm victim left to freeze

Update:

Storm victim left to freeze

Neeland Rumble was dedicated to his family, job and was employed in a rural area near Ridgetown.  The 41-year-old set out from his home in Sarnia early Monday evening, heading to work as a Securitas security guard at a solar farm, as the snowstorm turned even more fierce, trapping hundreds in vehicles around southern Ontario.

A passing motorist found Rumble's bright yellow 2003 Cavalier -- a reliable car his family helped him purchase in October -- around noon Tuesday on a lightly travelled road.

Police say Rumble's frozen body was found nearby.

Emergency Management Ontario issued a Red Alert from Sarnia to London because of heavy blowing snow causing zero visibility. Lambton County Warden, Steve Arnold, declared a state of Emergency for the Lambton area at 9:45 pm Monday December 13th. OPP estimate over 360 vehicles are stuck on Highway 402 between Sarnia and County Road 22.

Rob Cheshire, resident of Windsor spoke to M.P.P. Bob Bailey (Sarnia-Lambton) on Wednesday about the Province’s delayed response and action to the situation and suggested that there might yet be fatalities.  Unfortunately his prediction was accurate.  Mr. Cheshire, says “this is totally unacceptable and we should be demanding answers!   We offer our sincerest condolences to the family in this sad and unnecessary tragedy”.

Some waited thirty-five(35) hours for rescue according to The Windsor Star and other media sources.   Cheshire said: “There is no way in hell that almost four hundred lives should have been put at risk.  This is absolutely unacceptable and totally unnecessary”.  Some are insisting that an investigation ensue as to why alerts, rescue and response were so slow.

Snow job

    Early, Monday December 13th snow squalls off Lake Huron blanketed Lambton County with drifting snow.   Hundreds of  motorists and truckers were stranded in their vehicles on highway 402 between London and Sarina, Ontario.  Over 300 people were left shivering in their vehicles for over thirty hours on the impassable highway.  A trucker, Mike Jones said “the situation was a disaster”.  Some of the snow drifts topped seven feet!  According to the London Free Press, the military was called in to help evacuate these motorists.  At least the federal government stepped in but why did the Province not act sooner?  Why were these people left stranded for so long?  I suggest to you that once again Premier McGuinty and his government are lax in their responsibility to this Province and this situation high lights that fact!  I believe that the Premier should answer why it took over 30 hours to rescue these poor people and why there was not a plan in place for such an event?   It is a wonder that no one perished in this horrific storm!  An American traveler from Michigan stated “ I thought I was going to die” awaiting a rescue, she “..thought would never come”.

British housewife speaks out

British housewife speaks out
Thought you might like to read this letter to the editor of a British national newspaper. Ever notice how some people just seem to know how to write a letter?. 
Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister!
Written by a housewife, to her daily newspaper. This is one ticked off lady. 'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York on 11 Sept 2001, and have continually threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London , and in downtown Manhattan , and in a field in Pennsylvania ?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11 and 7/7.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about theHoly Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading inAfghanistan
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:
I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to the bank:
I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:
I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, believe me!! you guessed it ......
I don't care!!
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behaviour!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country! And may I add:
'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world.  Our soldiers don't have that problem.' 
I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all this.
Only Six defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2.  The British Soldier.
3. The Canadian Soldier.
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The Australian Soldier
6  The New Zealand Soldier
One died for your soul, the other 5 for your freedom.

The Liberal Record.....It Really, really Sucks!

The Liberal Record.....It Really, really Sucks!

    Windsor’s unemployment and lack of prosperity are truly an indictment of Dwight Duncan, Sandra Pupatello and our illustrious Premier.  Seven year ago, Premier Dalton ( many refer to him as, Pinocchio ) promised ‘no new taxes’, he even signed a document to prove his commitment to not lying.  Hmmm.  Shortly after his election, Dalton promptly reversed his position, downloaded services and introduced the ‘healthcare premium’.  Nice guy!  The supposed ‘healthcare premium’ is not really for anything related to ‘healthcare’ at all, because it goes directly into Ontario’s general fund, where it can be spent on absolutely anything ( I know Dwight needs some liposuction, yup!  ).  The term ‘premium’ does not apply either, because it is a tax! 

    Fast forward to 2010, and welcome Ontario’s ‘harmonized’ sales tax that is charged on absolutely every (fucking) thing you purchase.  There really is not anything ‘harmonious’ about getting your pockets picked (nope!).   This ‘harmonized’ tax is so popular that Ontarians are choosing to cross the border to avoid it.  This tax evasion tactic is probably not very good for Ontario’s retailers that are still struggling under the gloom of the recession.  But, hey, it looks like Mr. Pinocchio doesn’t really ( give a fuck ) care.   To add insult, to injury, more like sticking a switch blade in an open wound, McGuinty introduced an Eco-tax and taxed your hydro bill too!
Wow!  Gee, if this guy wasn’t such a skinny, pencil neck, he could be the anti-christ or Satan!
