In my defense, I think i noticed a heck of a lot of information more than just that they were Arabs. I wish I could've gotten a license plate number, but i was walking away from the car and wasn't freaked out at the point in this story when I was just walking past their car.

Do you have a concealed carry permit? Next time yu cn just shoot and then check the backpacks. That is the only way to be sure everyone of the women and children in the store at 10 pm are safe.

and this is how we all know you are a fricking idiot. Why would you make a dry run with a back pack, to see if someone stops them in a store they didn't even walk into?


As i stated before, people that have been arrested for terrorist plots before haven't exactly been the "sharpest tools in the shed." You have to be either 1) crazily radical or 2) demented to want to kill innocent women and children. Sorry, but I see no need for you to call me a fricking idiot. I think I am carrying out my responsibility as an American citizen to let people know of this event.

No concealed permit, Illinois is pretty strict about gun ownership. I've really had enough of your sarcasm in this thread, i guess everyone should just keep it to themselves when they see blatantly suspicious activity?? Is that really the precedent that should be set?

Sorry. I couldn't resist one more sarcastic comment.

yeah you did a real solid job chief by coming to the OT where none of us are within 1000 miles of your location and you also did a great job on getting that information for the FBI They shouldn't have a hard time finding 2 arabs who drive a car.

Umm, you continue to say retarded shite. Since they didn't blow themselves up, now they look fricking suspicious, no? Now I guess General Lee was the hero, because we all know they were gonna do it if he didn't glance at them and not notice any useful information other than they were arabs. That just deviated their whole plan.


No ghost whisperer. I'm saying that to someone waiting in line at the walmart, they don't give a frick about anybody so chances are they would not have even noticed them. Why would I think General Lee is a hero?

And why woud a dry run be impossible? Before 9/11, did you think it was impossible to believe someone would blow themselves up for righteousness? Maybe there wasn't enough people in the store to validate a moral victory in their minds.

You're the one that posted a fricking ghost video and you're now slamming him.

You're right. They were terrorist. They came within seconds of blowing up Wal Mart but they decided "ahh, better just make this a dry run instead since Wal Mart has a sophisticated floor plan and tight security."

Yes! The first suicide bomb didn't occur until September 11, 2001. Before that it was strictly dry runs.

There are lots of Illinois fans or alumni on this site actually, and this is a fairly popular site nationwide. I have let the authorities know what happened within 30 minutes of this event. I debated whether to call anyone, because I know some will think i'm just a nutjob because this country has forgotten about 9/11 for the most part.

With the timeline of the event, it was impossible for me to get their license plate due to the angle that I was looking back to them when they were getting the backpacks out of the car.

GeneralLee I think the argument at this point is the whole "DRY RUN" thing. I tend to believe most people would have been suspicious just as you if they saw this event unfold, I know I would have but most people seem to believe suicide bombers don't make dry runs. Terrorist who hijack planes and whose plan requires much more thought than just walking into a store and blowing themselves up have to do dry runs but not someone who is looking to blow themselves up in Walmart.

i had a similar situation.

i was taking a class at LSU. my prof was of the arabian persuasion(is that how you spell that?) and so wer the teaching assistants.

anyways, during our lab all 6 of them suddenly walked to the back of the class to the office. i freaked out and hit the deck.

not really but i thought it was strange.

thats pretty much it.

Yeah, go ahead an jump into the mind of a person who straps bombs on their chest and hits a button. Exactly how you think is exactly how they think. Bringing your rationalization to the conversation exemplifies their personality traits.

The guy seems genuinly freaked out about it. He would be an idiot to post this kind of shite as a joke. And if he's wrong.....who fricking cares. Those guys woudn't know that tigerdroppings.com was talking about him.

And if you are knocking him because he brought it up on the OT....then your fricking loser arse wouldn't have nothing to talk about.

Eerily similar.

This is why they should allow guns on campus.

I know, I already conceded that you were right. They were just practicing umm blowing themselves up. It was like a suicide bomb scrimmage.

Like this never happens on here!

You sir are still a fricking idiot and have done nothing to prove otherwise.
