So we are back to making assumptions again. Cool!

I see things differently.
Bitter?
Yes, because I'm an Obama supporter, it show's I'm capable of thinking rationally and not assuming the bogeyman's out to get me when I see someone who looks different from me, or has a funny sounding name.

Extreme yes, but in my judgement (flawed or not), their behavior was extreme. So my assessment of the situation matched my analysis of their behavior.

If they're even there...I agree.

I think these dudes brought backpacks into the store with the intent to shoplift, considering the time of day. They walked in, saw what they thought was store security and left.
Could be.

A lot of these terrorist are suicide bombers and they wouldn't need a backpack to get their explosive devices into the store. They would strap the bomb on themselves, cover it with clothing, walk into the store undetected, and detonate the shite
I agree. But that's also assuming they would have suicide bombed it. Maybe the idea is to pack the backpacks with weapons or some shite.
Either way, it's ALL speculation at this point.

that you did absolutely nothing about for 1 hour.
Can you please answer again why it took you 1 hour if you were so sure they were doing a dry run?
ETA: which you seem to be sure about at this point. It's gone beyond speculation, you are damn certain they were doing a dry run.

Not really. I think it can be easily dismissed at this point...
Champagne, Illinois still has a Walmart.

If this doesn't stop a suicide bomber I don't know what will.

I called my parents probably 20 minutes after it happened, then the cops probably 30-45 minutes after.

Has anyone mentioned the fact that if a terrorist blows up a wal-mart no one is gonna care anyway?

How?
None of us have any idea what those guys were up to. I'll agree that there's a a pretty obvious chance that there was nothing shady going on. But none of that can or will ever be known. In fact, that only way to know for sure is if something actually does happen to that Wal Mart, or by those guys.

yes, those are assumptions. Just my honest assessment of what I saw.

yeah, I agree with some of what you are saying, I mean it is possible, but it's highly unlikely.
And I'm not writing your what ifs as bullshite. Again, just a stretch.

bullshite. Our economy will crumble if ONE wal-mart gets blown up.

A poorly advised bet.
I'd say a 5-7% chance they were terrorist sympathizers (if they actually were arab-american), and a 1-2% chance they were up to no good.

That dude is actually G.I. fricking Joe compared to the "greeter" that was at the Siegen Lane WM when I went there a few days ago.

I didn't say crumble, i said billions of dollars in economic impact from ripple effects.
