I have let the authorities know, but the lady i talked to at 911 didn't seem too concerned. At least now it is off my conscience, if something happens at least i tried to let the authorities know (i'll call the FBI tomorrow morning).

Should i wait till tomorrow to call the FBI? The closest local office is in Chicago, 2 hours away.


I'm sure there is a 24 hour hot-line for such situations. Google Homeland Security.

You realize they dont pull the bombs out of their backpacks and throw them at you right? They just detonate them. You can have as many cans of beanie weenies in your hand as you want but you have to throw it before he hits the trigger.


I know if this was a real attack I wouldn't have had much of a chance against two guys armed with something as simple as even box cutters, but I can honestly say I would sacrifice myself to try to help the other people in the store get out before more lives were lost.

If you leave a message tonight, you'll probably be awakened by a doorbell in the AM..a pair of agents for some Q&A.

there is not much they will do anyway unless they have been monitoring the guys already...in which case, they were probably watching the whole shite......they're not going to do anything tonight regardless...

I'm just sayin, don't be afraid to pull a citizen's arrest and question them next time. You have a right to question that kind of behavior.

There are a lot of international engineering students here at the University of Illinois, and some of them do seem very "cold" in personality.

bullshite, i'd be in jail if I tried that. Not to mention it would've been one on two.

But, if they had started to open their backpacks I would've launched into action very rapidly though.

How about this? Next time just keep your eyes fixed on the floor in front of you, find the items you need, and get the heck out. That is what men do when they visit the walmart. I couldn't tell you who checked me out or who was parked next to me or what brand of detergent my wife would have expected me to get. Just get in and get out.

All i can remember is that it was a light colored car. I remember the two males in question a lot more distinctly than the car. Their faces should show up on Wal-mart cameras though, you can see yourself on TV when you walk in

Anyone with a bomb strapped to there body is not going to be phased by some dude trying to stop them at walmart. It is very noble but not very effective.

Did you not see what I wrote?? Whenever I was getting out of my car to walk into Wal-mart, they pulled in next to me and almost knocked off my car door. That is what alerted me in the first place. Otherwise I would have never noticed.
