Subject: Small bit of local good news from Bonita, California
A little cheerful thought from Darbnet:

If you can, get the plates of the drive by screamers. I went with my wife who is muslim (non-practicing, but I went to mass on Sunday also) to the local mosque on Friday. Similar buttheads drove by and yelled for the "ragheads to go home or we'll kill you all!" Some people copied down the plate numbers and later on the news I saw the same truck surrounded by cops with shotguns pointed at it. I dunno about California, but the cops here are taking this stuff VERY seriously. I bet those particular "real" americans now know the fear of god, or are at least out buying new underwear.

Unlike the aftermath of Oklahoma City, this time I've noticed many occasions where reporters (even on Fox) and politicians have gone out of their way to stress that Arab-Americans and Muslims are not to blame for this.

Of course there have been incidents, but the snippet of good news I wanted to share was that at a candlelight walk (organized around the local fire station) here in Bonita (south of San Diego), attended by ~400 people, both speakers, including one Korean and Vietnam War vet, stressed the same point, to visible agreement from the crowd.

Of course that audience may not be the target audience, but the general atmosphere may sway some of the bozos away from doing stupid things.

As of Friday night, the local mosque had had a few phone bomb threats, a couple people yelling indecipherably from their cars, but nothing more. (The folks there seemed somewhat concerned, obviously. I'll stop by again tonight.)
