[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 190416, member: 138"] Jaginder ji, Guru Fateh. You sound upset from your post, I have no idea why. I apologise if my response made you upset. That was not the intention. Now let's go through your both posts to create some understanding with open-mindedness. You write in your initial post: As he is not breaking any law according to the code, then he is not doing anything wrong. So, it is the merit of the case we are talking about. The law of the state says it is OK to carry a knife/kirpan. Religion has nothing to do with it. It was simple profiling because of his turban in a state like Mississippi in the south which was deep into segregation and many people still carry that feeling. He had every right to carry his Kirpan. If he had threatened the officers with it, then it is a different story. And, yes it is all related to the merits of the case. Why would you think anyone would snap at you? This forum is meant for interaction where disagreements are also part and parcel of the learning process as per Sikhi traits. Aren't we jumping the gun here? no pun intended. Is there any part of the news that indicates that the cops felt threatened by him so they had to shoot him? Is this you call being devil's advocate? Who should know better at that time is very relative when one is an innocent person who got a flat tyre and is trying to change it. As he was posing no threat, and the cops are trained how to react in that situation. Pardon my ignorance but I see no point in your above statement.I have no idea what you have against amritdhari Sikhs Get the dhol out for what? Please elaborate. We are just trying to understand the matter and educate the police forces, which I often participate in. Please define who are these overzealous practitioners you are talking about? Your second post: Of course you were arguing about the merits of the case and Kirpan is part of the legalities as mentioned in the code. I know you did not bring up the turban which was surprising because you talked about the "overzealous practitioners" and turban is part of it so is it part of the case we are talking about. We can not take just one part of it because the news relates to both the things. Now, the advice is very well documented thanks to this brave overzealous practitioner of Sikhi and the excellent work by the United Sikhs. Sikhs would feel safe in the state and especially in the county because now they understand more about Sikhi. This work is continuously done in all the states in the US by the advocacy groups. It is part of the same story and the same case. Separating the two is unjust and unfair Spnadmin ji is a very wise person. I also understood your reasoning. It shows that you did not understand nor did you appreciate my response.:) Has this happened to anyone you know or to yourself? I find no reason for anyone to be arrested or barred from appearing in front of the court in a turban. I know many Sikh lawyers who have argued the cases in from of the SCOTUS ( Supreme Court of The US) in their turbans. No one can arrest you carrying a kirpan if you are not brandishing it to the police. It does not happen because it makes no sense. Exactly. Education is very important and for that to happen, we Sikhs have to come out of the four walls of our Gurdwaras and introduce ourselves to the society we live in. In this case, as in many cases, it is our duty as Sikhs to educate the Police forces and others about us. It was tongue in cheek. Too bad you did not get the humour.:) When the facts are lawful, then they are part of the common sense. You will get used to this forum. Interaction is nothing about clenched fists nor are the disagreements. As mentioned before, they are part of the learning process. So, please do not mind or clench your fists if people disagree with your opinion. Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
