When was this? I hadn’t heard anything about my BIL making field trips to Baltimore on the side.
Is your BIL a really tall dude with long dark hair, does he wear a long dark trench coat and does he resemble Charles Manson?
This guy used to hang out in the area where my office was located and one evening followed me from my office to the parking garage several blocks away, screaming at me about how I wasn’t “Saved”.
I was seriously freaked out and having lived in Baltimore for most of my life, it took a whole lot to freak me out : ), .
This guy was seriously crazy and in the scariest of ways. I was accustomed to the homeless and the panhandlers and they, while annoying, were mostly harmless. This guy was different. He was full of rage and wild delusions. His very body language and the look in his eyes foreshadowed someone with violent and homicidal tendencies. Shortly after this incidence I stopped seeing him hanging around. I like to think he was finally institutionalized.
And as I said, sometimes crazy is just plain crazy.
People who are truly psychotic and schizophrenic suffer from all sorts of delusions. Some of them manifest in delusions of a religious nature. That this guy yelled out Allah Akbar, doesn’t alone mean he was a Muslim or a committed terrorist or part of a terrorist cell. It’s much more likely given his behavior that he was just plain crazy.
