What's next? A vacation for suggesting he wasn't in the country legally? Obviously he was landed, but what if I had?

Come on now... this is sad. They said it first, I expounded upon it. What's wrong with questioning the legality of him being on the bike in the first place if he's a refugee? He obviously shouldn't have had access to that bike to begin with.

I'm not racist, but if it's easier for everyone to jump the gun and assume so... fine. Whatever floats your boats, folks. I really don't care.

This country, and indeed this little microcosm here on FC.net, has become a bleeding heart shelter for everyone. If someone thinks/says different than the sheep believe, you get blasted. Sorry for not being a sheep.

EDIT - LOL Flo... you're threatening Puppet with a vacation? Otherwise, I don't get it.

nobody's getting banned for having an opinion... but when I saw the video, read the articles, I read, "stupid bikers"... but then I read your post, and I read, "stupid immigrants".

And that's why I roll my eyes, because I don't see it being the primary problem behind street racing... it's about stupid being stupid...

We can assume that if the guy didn't have a license, they would have mentioned in the clip that "he had no license" rather than, "he didn't have much experience with motorcycles"... chances are good he was newly licensed.

And being a refugee, he had more reason to be in the country than most 'landed' immigrants...so it seems insufficient grounds to bring up Canada's lax immigration laws over a 'stupid motorcycle rider kills innocent person' story.

If you want to connect that with recent terrorist-camp-in-canada events, maybe that would be a better venue for such discussions. As it stands, it sort of contrasts with the original subject matter in this thread.
