Why I believe people should be profiled by belief, and not their appearance.

Absolutely, right wing gun nuts like these should definitely be watched closely.

It depends on what the right wing gun nuts are talking about doing.

If they're talking about hunting deer, that's fine.

If they're talking about overthrowing the government, that's not fine.

But how will you know unless you profile and monitor them all? Profiling for right wingers ftw.

The list of people to be monitored has to constantly be updated, you know.

This is troubling. Why are these right-wing, nationalist and racist groups gathering strength in Europe? What's being done to combat this?

Obviously, the police in Belgium are working on it.

They're not. And plenty. After all, these guys got busted.

Besides, plenty of people out there think Europe is all Liberals who can't hold a gun properly. If the world can't agree on a stereotype, it means we have the balance right.

Plenty of Europeans think all Americans are living parodies of John Wayne.

Goes to show you how little faith can be placed in popular perception.

And like I said, they caught these asshats before they actually did anything.
