My first thought was the Paul Walker picture? So what, all Fast and Furious fans are latent criminals?
Those are some of the highest grossing movies of all time, surely you can’t profile criminals based on a film franchise with significant mass appeal. Talk about painting with a large brush.
When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
One of the most interesting statistics I've ever heard was that traffic stops go up significantly around theaters that have recently screened a fast and furious movie.
I hope it's a true statistic because it makes a lot of sense.
If everyone is guilty of something, it makes yanking them off the street easier to justify to a news media asleep at the switch.
