...shut up, racist.
That's Kate McMillan's headline summation of the Big Security State in an age of political correctness.
On the one hand, the Department of Homeland Security enjoins us: "If you see something, say something." It's an expensive, focus-grouped official government slogan.
On the other hand, when it's happening in your street, it's all a bit more complicated:
A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people."Middle Eastern men" bringing strange contraptions in and out at all hours of the night? What are you, Islamophobic? Who's to say it's not the local distributor for Ahmed the Clock Boy's amusing new Allahrm Clock? If you see a man of Middle Eastern appearance bearing a ticking object, say something - and get sued for 15 million bucks.
Which is why the most lavishly funded government and media on the planet are seriously debating whether "climate change" leads to "workplace violence".
