I havent read any of this, but why would terrorist target the least affluent sector of the country???


Usually terrorists care about 1) body count and 2) economic impact. You could kill a lot of people with 2 guys with AK-47's or bombs in a Walmart, and the economic impact would be devastating as people might not shop at Walmart for a while. Do you know how much of an impact that would have on our economy? The're a saying, "As Walmart goes, so goes the economy."

If you ever find yourself in this situation people the best thing to do is to walk right up to the person-s and stare them right in the face and say and i quote " I'll be your Huckleberry"

Right.....but, why would they do a dry run at a wal-mart with a potentially different layout. Entrance, exits and security professionals.


I dont wanna get into terrorist logistics but, go to chicago, find a walmart. drive around and find another walmart with the same layout. walk in with backpack.

maybe they weren't


think about it, sure you would potential cause more damage in a bigger urban area. But they hit a area such as a college town, or small market area that no one would ever suspect terrorist would hit. Just imagine the pshycological effect it would have on the regular american. He would feel as if no place is safe.

1. Why would 2 "terrorists" risk getting caught or raising suspicion by doing a "dry run"?

2. Suicide bombers don't do fricking dry runs!

Maybe we should see if anyone else saw anything suspicious at their local walmart today? Could be they are planning to walk in to like 100 walmarts or more and do some mass thing like they did with the planes. Why just one walmart? Shock and awe.

Exactly. If we could get a list of lurkers I bet you'd find a Muhammed al bin Sadr from CHampaign, IL.

flying airplanes into a target is not comparable to walking into an establishment and blowing yourself up. That takes no planning other than what might be the best spot to make the most impact, and if that's the case they wouldn't be casing the place with fricking back packs.

OK, whatever you want to think. If anybody doesn't believe me, go to Champaign, IL and see if Walmart will let you look at the tapes. I'm the white guy walking in with a Bass Pro Shops shirt on, about 10-20 seconds before the Arabs walked in.

Perhaps these two students saw you walk in with your redneck bass pro shirt on and thought you would kill them fr almost taking off your door. Just a thought. Especially if you were eyeballing them and looking for weapons.

I couldn't disagree more. In light of current economic conditions, many people are shopping more than ever at Walmart to save money. That and if you counted Walmart as it's own country, it's "GDP" would be bigger than most countries on earth.
