He drew a glove with flames on it.
From what I've read elsewhere, he was an honors student, a scout and he played on a Christian basketball team.
What profile does that fit?

A "reasonable and articulable suspicion" that the suspect is armed.
These stop-and-frisks are not Terry stops.
There is no basis for them under the law.
There are some law enforcement personnel who are allowed to do stops like this in the post-9/11 era... The Customs and Border Protection arm of the DHS.

I don't get it, either. It's so obvious a violation of due process and flagrant bigotry that it should never have been proposed. Yet, they're doing it; they've been doing it since at least 2004; they're amassing a database containing information on those people who have been subject to stop-and-frisk; they're using the database for racial profiling and harassment (some people have been stalked by the police, stopped and frisked dozens of times); and nobody is stopping them.
The NY ACLU is only suing them over the database. Not the practice.
The law spells out very specific circumstances for a stop and pat-down.

The police are ignoring the law.
This is the sort of thing that East coasters ridicule Arizona for, but it's going on right here.
A true WTF.
Gee! All you need is a 25 meter headphone cord for this to work.
Everyone has that!
> Owning Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja does not make you a gamer, GTFO.
Some people would say that owning a Wii doesn't make you a gamer.
iOS has Final Fantasy IV, Eternal Legacy, Infinity Blade, Rage HD, Sonic, Worms, Tiger Woods, Madden and now World of Goo so I'll be busy for quite awhile playing my non-console games.
Oh, well. Guess I'm not a "gamer" anymore. For some silly reason I feel no sense of loss.
A-holes with mod points vex me.
There's no reason to have modded that post down other than prejudice against Macs and against the people who are honest enough to point out their benefits.
Apple gives you loads of options.
Absolutely. They're famous for it. Apple's all about choice.
In this case, yes they are.
It's very easy to run Windows or Linux or Unix or all of the above on a Mac along with Mac OS X.
I don't get why he doesn't just install Linux on his Mac.
But at that point, what has using a Mac really gained you?
A Mac. A very fast and rugged laptop with a great screen that runs the Mac OS natively, elegantly combining Unix and a modern GUI. (And yes, it's a damned handsome-looking computer.)
Plus Linux. Almost any flavor you'd like. Plus Windows if you're so inclined.
Apple gives you loads of options.
I don't get why he doesn't just install Linux on his Mac.
There are a half-dozen suitable virtualization packages that he could use and installing it as a dual-boot OS is trivial.
He can get the best of both worlds with almost no effort.
Why don't people do a little research before posting anti-Mac rants?
It's a tale that has all the trappings of a cult 1960s sci-fi movie: Scientists bring back ancient salt crystals, dug up from deep below Death Valley for climate research. The sparkling crystals are carefully packed away until, years later, a young, unknown researcher takes a second look at the 34,000-year-old crystals and discovers, trapped inside, something strange. Something
... alive.
The Geological Society of America's current issue of GSA Today has the hard science paper.
The average teen (even including teens without cell phones) sends and receives five times more text messages a day than a typical adult. A teen typically sends or receives 50 text messages a day, while the average adult sends or receives 10.
Pew really ought to try interviewing a few people outside of the urban DJ population.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
