GREAT WORK.
PLEASE KEEP IT UP AND KEEP US POSTED.
I think you might also send a hard copy letter to each of your condo units and explain what happened.
Ask if there are any volunteers available to more or less keep watch around the clock for the next week or 3. If there's anyone connected with the police dept, perhaps patrols could be integrated into such a watch system.
I would also contact any parents you know with children in the nearby schools.
And, I would personally visit the two principals and the chief guards at the two schools. I would give them all the info including the license number--though it probably won't be used next time. If anyone is gifted in drawing in your family, you might try and get a rough drawing done in collaboration though probably someone else would be next on the scene.
I would try and get a list, perhaps from Old Sarge--about what things to look out for next in such a situation. I'd insure the condo inhabitants and the principals and guards at the schools had the list. I think there are probably such lists in the Threat Matrix threads.
I certainly consider between now and Election to be a hyper critical period. And, from now to inauguration day fairly much so.
I would ignore all accusations, especially about being paranoid. Beslan is a possible enough type event to wash all such concerns out of the priority basket.
We also know that they have been looking over apartment buildings for years for use in terror attacks.
I might also call the FBI in 3-4 days, if I hadn't heard, and ask them what the license number turned up. I'd expect that car to have been abandoned or some info to turn up.
ONLY AS CITIZENS PRAY AND ACT AS YOU HAVE ACTED WILL THE TERRORISTS BE REMOTELY DEFEATED AND ATTACKS PREVENTED. I WISH EVERYONE HAD YOUR ALERTNESS AND EARNESTNESS.
I HOPE you at least insure that your fellow condo citizens have the info and perhaps that a meeting occurs about how to respond. You should be able to at least get a handfull of concerned folks to agree to be extra alert and keep each other informed by cell phone and/or emails.
I consider it highly probable that they will abandon attacking your condo unit BECAUSE YOU WERE SO ALERT AND AGGRESSIVE. But I wouldn't want to take any chances in the current context and climate.
BLESSINGS,
A thought just occured to me. What if they were thinking of the condo as a firing position since the school was across the street.
How hard would it be to take over the average apt bldg in an average place? Not very, I would imagine.
And I'll deliver, too!
I thought I'd PING a few interested parties to this thread - second pairs of eyes always help.
Congratulations are in order, Lass - you did everything well, with very little room for improvement.
Someone mentioned a cel that can image - it's a great LE/DHS tool. Our CI Section uses them. You'll need one; you'll want more.
Lass, I'll FReepmail you with my thoughts, but here's some public things to do:
* Keep handy the contact numbers for DHS, your STATE police (not the locals), and State Emergency Management;
* Only report subsequent sightings of these perps to the same agency that gave the best response;
Spreading the word to the neighbors and the prinipals was good! Do so for further sightings;
Your FReepmail will be inbound directly...
bumping Quix!!!!!!
