Well losing it isn't my style. I am usually a very level-headed guy, but this guy did have it coming. I just didn't want to inflame the situation. I wanted to be completely in the right so I didn't "let him have it." As sad as it is to say, Racial profiling is more than common in New Jersey and blatant in some areas. We have even had several court cases slamming the State Police regarding this very issue.
Sometimes I like blatant liberals..(sometimes!!)
