Fox News guest already wants more patrolling in ‘Muslim neighborhoods’ after Capitol incident

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/fox-news-guest-already-wants-more-patrolling-in-muslim-neighborhoods-after-capitol-shooting/

Fox News contributor Bo Dietl quickly called for more scrutiny of American Muslims in the wake of Monday’s incident at the Capitol Visitors Center, but insisted that he was not profiling practitioners of Islam.

“I don’t talk about going into Muslim neighborhoods and putting an omnipresence there like Stormtroopers,” Dietl said during a phone interview on Fox Business Channel. “What I talk about is having a lot more Muslim police officers — uniform and plainclothes — which can talk to people: ‘What’s going on?’ ‘You see something suspicious, I drive by, you call over [and] let me know.’ You have to have that communication back and forth. That’s the most important thing, is intelligence.”

Dietl voiced his assumptions about the encounter and the suspect shortly before the would-be gunman was identified as 66-year-old Larry Dawson, who was “known to police” in the area after interrupting a House session last year by yelling that he was a “prophet of God.” ...

He made similar remarks last November, when he urged authorities to “stop worrying about people’s rights” and increase surveillance on Muslim neighborhoods, going so far as to claim that it led to the unraveling of several “plots,” despite evidence and New York Police accounts to the contrary.


Um, Bo, what Muslim neighborhoods? Outside of Detroit, Dearborn and Brooklyn, I can't think of any. Most American Muslims live right next door to the real 'Murkins.

I doubt he spent a lot of time in Muslim neighborhoods.
