More info is coming out about the two men pulled over in South Carolina over the weekend with "fireworks" in their trunk. According to Bruce Smith of the AP, it wasn't simply some bottle rockets and black cats in the trunk of the car...
A deputy then found what he thought were explosives in the 2000 Toyota Camry and called the bomb squad. Technicians confirmed the devices were pipe bombs and destroyed them, according to sworn statements in the arrest warrants.
One of the guys admitted to making pipe bombs...
Mohamed, 24, said he made pipe bombs from items he bought at Wal-Mart, according to an affidavit with his arrest warrant.
Their defense attorney says they had a reason for having the "fireworks"...
Defense attorney, Dennis Rhoad, said the men have a reason for having the devices and it would become clear in later court hearings.
CAIR jumped the shark on this one...
Before details about the pipe bombs were released, the executive director of a civil rights organization for Muslims in Tampa criticized the arrest as racial profiling, an accusation South Carolina police denied.
CAIR then proceeded to stir in some racial profiling of their own...
"Had these been two good ol' boys from South Carolina driving through and speeding _ and even if they did have some fireworks _ nobody would have been arrested," Bedier said.
HMMM... Sounds like Bedier has watched too many reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard. If you don't want to be arrested, don't speed with junk in your trunk. Being Muslim and claiming racial profiling doesn't give you a free pass.
