"Thanks for the ping Flyer, heard this on the news early. I hate reading the thread though as all the nuts post about terrorism. "

Wow. A personal attack against a whole thread full of people. You've outdone yourself!!! At least you earned your id honestly.

Just because you don't agree with a person's conclusion based on the information they have doesn't make them a NUT. I'd reserve that label for more extreme examples. Overuse of that insult, weakens it.

C'mon, it can;t be personal AND against a whole thread full of people. Pick one.

Overuse in thinking everything is a terrorist attack weakens the nation, to hell with weak insults.

I did not ID the nuts, its a self identifying thing, you in?

I do not think people are nuts for thinking this is a terrorist. I do think the "move along" group and those who think the authorities have denied an attack, when all they have said is that they have no evidence it is an attack, are nuts.

Living as I do in the area allow me a few idle thoughts. Most people in the dark can't tell a South American from a middle easterner, some can't in daylight. We have lots of South Americans on the Texas Gulf Coast. It also happens that a large number of middle eastern types live in the area. Freeport is not a built up area and is far too far from the Super Bowl to affect those in attendance. HOWEVER the drug trade in coastal counties is a huge problem. Perhaps the guard walked into a drug deal about to happen?
