On July 20th, a Pakistani man, Kamran Akhtar, was arrested in Charlotte after videotaping Charlotte skyscrapers. Authorities found later that he also had videotaped buildings in Dallas, Houston, and Las Vegas. Akhtar is charged with immigration violations, and authorities are investigating whether he also has ties to terrorism. (N&O details here)
But Vernon Robinson has decided mere suspicion will do, so he quickly got up a TV spot using Akhtar's photo and saying, "This is Pakistani terrorist Kamran Akhtar. He got arrested videotaping targets in Charlotte, North Carolina. He came here illegally, across our Mexican border. I'm Vernon Robinson and I approve this message because Akhtar didn't come here to live the American dream. He came here to kill you."
The American way, Vernon Robinson style. Getting arrested on suspicion is tantamount to being guilty. I certainly want this man in Washington representing the Fifth District! He'll blend right in.
