Presque Isle Citizens Engage in

"Racial Profiling"

PIPD Officer Fickett the Lone Voice of Reason

Fort Fairfield Journal, August 2, 2006, p. 7

PRESQUE ISLE, MAINE - Immediately following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the U.S. government, along with its faithful allies in the mainstream news media began a psychological warfare propaganda campaign to generate a healthy state of fear among the American people; fear that would help sell an otherwise unpopular, unwarranted war - unmitigated fear of a group of people.

   That PSYOPS-induced fear finally came home to roost in Aroostook County at a fast-food restaurant in Presque Isle on July 24.

   It seems a young, male Job Corps student was visiting Presque Isle and stopped at a local fast-food restaurant for supper.  After ordering his meal, he moved outside, sat on one of the establishment’s benches and ate alone.

   Because he was in full Muslim garb, people in the restaurant became very nervous.  The Presque Isle Police Department was contacted regarding this suspicious-looking young man.  Officer Fickett responded.  “Upon my arrival he did not seem to be doing anything wrong,” wrote Fickett in his report.  “He was eating on a bench in front of the restaurant.  He agreed to leave.”

   After Officer Fickett cleared the scene, the original complainant called back because the young man had thrown his trash away outside and seemed to throw something else away inside the building.

   Officer Fickett responded again.  It seems the young man had simply replaced some unused condiments back in their original bin.  Upon Fickett’s second arrival, the young man came out of the bathroom in bare feet, holding a prayer rug and portable stereo which contained a prayer tape. “I believe that he was in the bathroom praying,” wrote Fickett.  “I found no foul play going on.”

   The manager and customers voiced their concerns to Fickett due to the recent (five years ago) September 11 attacks. 

   It seems the only thing the young student was actually guilty of was being of Middle-Eastern descent.
