New Jersey sparks terror fears with 'see something, say something' roadway campaign
Fox News ^ | 9/23/23 | Chris Pandolfo

Drivers in New Jersey have been greeted with roadway signs that read, "Suspect Terrorism? See Something, Say Something," with a tip line number to report threats.

These signs are part of a public safety campaign launched last month by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) in partnership with the state Department of Transportation and New Jersey Turnpike Authority. But their sudden appearance on major highways, with little notice or fanfare, has alarmed state residents.

"This makes me think that there’s an underlying thing going on that’s not public yet," said Nanalapan resident Laura Brunetti in an interview with local station News12.

Other residents thought the signs were related to the Sept. 11 terror attack anniversary, the outlet reported.

An August 30 news release announced the installation of Variable Message Signs around the state "to remind drivers along the state’s major interstates to remain vigilant and report potential threats and suspicious activity related to terrorism or other criminal activity."

"The goal of the campaign over the next few months is to remind residents and visitors, who may be traversing New Jersey’s highways for vacation, holiday shopping and other festivities, of the importance of being aware of their surroundings and of reporting suspicious activity," said NJOHSP Director Laurie Doran. "The public is one of our first and best lines of defense in the fight against terrorism. Our ‘See Something, Say Something’ initiative bolsters the State’s security efforts and plays a key role in helping to identify threats and to prevent attacks."

The campaign will run from September through mid-February and include nearly 200 signs promoting NJOHSP's suspicious activity reporting number across the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate Highways, the news release said.

The signs target drivers during the morning and afternoon rush hours seven days per week.

When you see a group of illegal aliens gathering to party on the taxpayers’ dime, should we say something?

“Hello, I’d like to report a group of Arabs and Chinese...”

I just saw a white family go to church

And a white guy at a school board meeting complain about transgender indoctrination of his son.

And a woman post a comment on Twitter that was complimentary of Trump.

“Experts” might say this has all the hallmarks of deep state gaslighting.

I predict a Patriot Front false flag coming, probably involving New Jersey.

The democRATs are waging a jihad to destroy our country. Can they all be reported with just one call?

I want to report a suspicious person and that person is me because I’m suspicious of the Democrat Party and their cohorts.

I see unverified men streaming into this country being given money and credentials. What should I say? And will the authorities care?

all Citizens should say or take appropriate action if they see some thing needing addressing. No fear, like the people in the article, but just good common citizenship responsibility of the community/state.

Those who just disregard things needing attention are the ones that either purposely want problems, or think they can idly sit on sidelines waiting for some one else to do some thing, meaning “sideliners” are enabling those purposely wanting the problems.

Looks like some Democrats jumped the gun on the 2024 script.

Big deal. Maryland started putting that message on their VMS signs years ago, along with the tip line phone number.

Relax, people!

Hey, Jersey citizens. Call in local shakedowns by “mafia”. Here is your chance to see if the crooked coppers will do anything.
Fun to watch, regardless.
