Why do they call it ovaltine? The glass is round. Why not call it roundtine?

I am concerned about the situation on our borders, but if I went down there with a .22, that is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I wish our borders were secure, but that is not my responsibility, that is the governments (at which they have miserably failed). That and the drug cartels and MS-13 aren't exactly the nicest guys on the block.

But i'm not one to run from a situation like that, I'd rather be the first line of defense. It would be better if I died rather than women and children inside the store.

Well thats my point....if this was a suicide bombing getting ready to take place then you would have been useless in defending anyone. There is no defense against it other than stopping it before it happens and that is pretty hard to do. Again, I agree with you in being suspicious but if they walked in and walked out I think there was something else going on.

no kids yet MileHigh and fortunately I still get sexy time.


and General Lee. If they were gonna blow themselves up, they would not give a frick if you saw them. If they were doing a dry run(which is just absolutely fricking ridiculous) , they wouldn't have made themselves look so suspicious.

Not exactly, I could have yelled and people would've had a second or two to lay down on the ground to try to avoid shrapnel. That and if they had to connect some detonator from their backpack, i may have had time to tackle one of them before they got the bomb off. By falling on the bomb I could absorb most of the shrapnel.

It only looks suspicious to the guy that they almost hit with their car. To a person already in Walmart, it looks like two people walking in while i'm trying to buy my fricking candy bar and pre-made salad.

If I am not mistaken, the 9/11 hijackers did dry runs with box cutters in their luggage to test our security. I don't see much of a difference between the dry runs with box cutters and the possible one with a backpack here.

You don't see a difference between box cutters and dynamite vests/backpacks? And you think you were observant enough to catch two terrorists?

I swear on the grave of my great-grandfather that I am not making ANY of this up. This really did happen and I am genuinely freaked out by it. I think a good percentage of the population would be freaked out as well if they saw what I did.

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.

Both are means to an end during a possible attack. I know box cutters are much more lethal than a backpack, but a backpack can conceal items far more lethal than box cutters.

If you would have yelled, the first thing people would have done for the next few seconds is think your drunk and ignore you.

Nope. These guys don't walk in and hook things up. They basically just pull a trigger. Trust me, if they were bombers you would have been useless....thats why I would have stayed in the parking lot.

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?
