The cost of political correctness in a civil society (ADDENDUM)

See something, say nothing? The disastrous results of that appears to have occurred in San Bernardino yesterday...
Patheos: A shooting in California happened suddenly and without warning.

Except this:
A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people.

“We sat around lunch thinking, ‘What were they doing around the neighborhood?’” he said. “We’d see them leave where they’re raiding the apartment.”
For a while there was an oft quoted motto from Homeland Security, “If you see something, say something.”
Of course, that was before Clockmed and political correctness shamed more into silence...
NR: This is “Clock Boy” thinking. “If you see something, say something” has been transformed into “if you see something — especially suspicious Middle Easterners — say nothing.” Otherwise you might be the focus of a social-media shame-storm and a multi-million-dollar lawsuit. In this case, saying nothing meant the authorities didn’t discover Syed Farook’s home-based “IED factory” until after 14 Americans were dead and 17 were injured.

Let’s be clear: “If you see something, say something” doesn’t violate any person’s rights, and there is nothing wrong with acting on a hunch that something feels a bit off. Political correctness has nothing to do with reality, and often the best eyes and ears for law enforcement are the people who know a neighborhood and are able to recognize unusual events. If ISIS or al-Qaeda established a program designed to decrease American vigilance, they couldn’t do any better than the Left’s hashtagging and public shaming. Responsible citizens should ignore the scolds and have the courage to do the right thing.
When assimilated jihadis are emboldened and enabled by political correctness to execute the unthinkable upon a populace, and those within that same populace fear the left's 'RACIST!' labeling and banter over securing the safety of their fellow citizens, then we've lost more than liberty, folks.

ADDENDUM: On another note, it was quite educational to once again watch how the left’s phony narrative behind the San Bernardino massacre utterly imploded after it was discovered that the killers were Muslim jihadis...
