It comes down to the local police enforcing the laws against such behavior. NY-David I’m afraid that many of the poeple you are concerned about are here legally.

America is ripe for the picking like Canada because we, as a people have grown complacent and lethargic about our freedoms. The Gov't need to do some admending to immigration policies and let the dog wag the tail instead of the tail wagging the dog. There is definitely trouble brewing in North America between the races for power and control. The Muslims are not really doing anything wrong apart from promoting peace – the MUSLIM WAY !

I believe some of the ways Americans have treated/profiled those of middle-eastern descent have been horrific, and it is no wonder there would be some defensiveness and aggression if a threat were perceived. I wanted to "fill in the blanks," so I appreciate the dialog on this page and will also check out Mr. Wood's website. I had the video e-mailed to me, and had similar thoughts to NY-David.

I will look into it further. I will remark that I sometimes see jaded, one-sided journalism in an attempt to show a point. Your site and work at least appear to try to fairly show both sides.

The end result is that I don't know what questions he asked and how he asked them. He could have asked in a manner that made him a raging lunatic. Since that part is missing, we won't know. If an anti-war protester showed up at a pro-troop event and started ranting to someone from the military. Later they video themselves getting pushed and shoved off premise by security and then explain that they only went to inteligently debate issues about the war. I might have the same questions.

David, does that mean that no journalist with a camera has credibility when they go in to cover a story with a camera or show up on someone’s door they know has done something wrong?

I believe he knew the reaction he got. If he'd had gone in with a voice tape recorder and asked his questions, I would have more belief that he went in objectively and not to stir up trouble. He should persue assault charges against security guards, but my guess is that he won't if his video doesn't go viral.
