link  NYPD Warns Women About Skirts in Brooklyn Sex Attack Probe | NBC New York.

Interesting that we’ve yet to hear from national human rights groups protesting about this NYPD warning.  Sure, the expected bit of chirping has come from the local organizations,  but the mentality of stupidity of the NYPD’s warning is not fully appreciated by most readers.

It’s a certainty that they think they are doing women a public service by warning them not to dress in a certain way.  While there are certainly women out there that make Britney Spears dressed for a night on the town look like a nun, a google search fails to find any instances of women in short skirts or shorts committing regular acts of crime, violent or otherwise.  Oddly, we don’t see news stories of roving bands of women in short skirts terrorizing neighborhoods.

On the other hand, countless surveillance videos at 7-11’s, shopping malls, train stations, night clubs and parking lots show that people wearing hoodies and or baseball caps are over represented in the committing of violent crimes and robbery.  Wouldn’t it make more sense to ban people wearing such clothing, or at least warn them that such attire will cause them to be harassed by police?

The rights of potential perps have long ago surpassed the rights of victims in the perverse world of political correctness. This is but an egregious example of how extreme it has gone.   Rather than focus on discouraging the activities of those that exhibit anti-social and criminal behavior, liberal apologists instead would rather curtail the activities of law abiding citizens.  We are asked to purchase all sorts of personal and property security as well as pay usurious insurance rates rather than sufficiently deter and punish criminals.

We are hit on the head constantly with the old chestnut about not being able to tell a book by its cover, but that sentiment is more the exception than the rule in real life.  In the animal world, survival depends on being able to distinguish friend from foe with very simple visual cues.  Lamb= friend, lion, not so much.  It’s possible there there once existed animals congenitally programmed with curiosity to approach obvious predators.  But they are extinct.

In the much more highly evolved human societies, we are conditioned to ignore obvious danger cues from our surroundings on the premise that ‘the law’ will protect us from harm.  This would not be an issue except for the fact that those with such misguided notions often wind up in political office and such errant beliefs are imposed on an otherwise sane public.  In the animal world, they would simply be eaten.

The NYPD have it all wrong.  The philosophy should be to make life miserable for the perps, not the regular folk.  Pick on the guys wearing hoodies in summer, sideways ball caps and baggy jeans.   Heck, we’d be better off if everyone wore short skirts.  That would make it easy for them to pick out the perps from the crowd.   Maybe the Scots had something….

“Hey Abdul, what about a telethon to raise funds?”

“You idiot Ahmed, we can’t have telethons, the Americans will triangulate our positions and besides, cable service is hard to get in caves”

“You have a point Abdul.  How about running info-mercials with some sympathy evoking theme?  I’ve seen these in the West when I was going to school there.  We can show images of a sad young man, Mahmoud, who is despondent because all of his other pals have the money to be suicide bombers, but he has none.  We can get sympathy from the public because he will be the only one without access to 72 virgins!”

“That still costs money.  Do you realize how much it costs for a spot on Afghanistan Idol? Especially now that they have that kid on there doing rap versions of the Koran.  He’ll get a record deal for sure.  That girl doing the Britney Spears knock off is iffy.  What in Allah does If You Seek Amy mean anyway? Kids these days.  When I was a boy, all we wanted to do was to serve Allah, now all they care about are Ipods and music.  We should blow up Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino just to show ’em.”

“Can’t we just hit the Saudis up for dough like we usually do?”

“They’re reluctant to spend now that real estate is collapsing there, something about leverage.  Selfish bastards.  We can’t get a few more bombs because the Prince needs a new addtion for his 14th wife who needs more room.  Hello! Why not stop at 12 wives like every one else?  Always trying to keep up appearances.  I see where their kids are crashing Lambos in London, but they can’t fund another container of RPG’s for us?

“Hey Abdul, why can’t we be the ones living in London driving Lambos and living like international playboys?”

“Ahmed, don’t you remember what we’ve been told?  They are the ones suffering by living among infidels and whores; spending money, living in palaces and having dozens of girlfriends.  That is the suffering they must endure.  At the end of it all, we are luckier, because we get 72 virgins.  They will get a lesser, pro-rated amount.  We are the greater warriors for the cause.”

“Those poor bastards.”

“Besides, they have to spend  big money to get houses, cars and girls.  We can get all that stuff for free…just go to California.”

“Hey, speaking of California, don’t all the entertainment idiots live there in Hollywood?

“Yes why?”

“Maybe we can get THEM to raise money for us!  They love Castro and Chavez, why not us?”

“Hmmm……”
