Don’t bother with a trial. It’s a waste of taxpayer money. Fry him.
Hm…
He has an Arab first name (Rasul) but a British surname (McNeil-Thomas). So it’s not likely he’s Muslim.
I’d venture a guess that he’s African-American.
I figured.
And no, please don’t call me racist. I supported Barack Obama in 2008 (as a liberal), and Herman Cain for 2012 (as a staunch conservative).
I’m just a pragmatist when in comes to race.
