AMBER ALERTS

My programming has been interrupted a few times today for an Amber Alert about the abduction of a 15 year old girl named Dynaja. The thing I find amazing is that in the description they don’t mention her race. They identify the abductors were a black male and a white male but couldn’t tell us what her race is. Really, I can make a guess based on her name but it would just be a guess. This is abject stupidity.

It reminds of a bit comedian Jim Norton did about a rape case where because of political correctness the description of the suspect included the color of the suspect’s sweatshirt but not his race. People let’s get over political correctness and provide all the information available in trying to stop a crime. I was particularly amazed because I know I have seen North Carolina amber alerts that referred to Hispanic abductees.
