One of the students mentioned to her friend that there were bunches of Middle-Eastern guys buying phones in the Radio Shack at Metrocenter, Jackson, MS.
About 13 men or so bought the tracphones and her clerk friend also said that many of them came in buying phones in the afternoon as well.
I contacted the FBI in Jackson already.
How about looking out for "Middle Eastern looking man" signing up for Karate classes? After all, in the right hand, hands can be dangerous too ... better check who's been mail ordering Ninja throwing darts in bulk quantity.
How would you know they are Muslim?
Warning that the USA had better PROFILE!
Perhaps you could explain how you come to that, and why people making money by any other means should not be under the same suspicion ?
Um, a group of Middle-eastern gentlemen going into the most dangerous area of Jackson to buy as many tracphones as possible seems at least slightly suspicious when there are at least 5 Walmarts within 30 miles of that area. I know the area, at it seems VERY SUSPICIOUS that they would pick a half dead, crime-filled mall.
You have already assumed that they are simply making money off of these phones. I have not heard of any other group reconfiguring tracphones - ever, so I don't really imagine I would ever be suspicious. Just the fact that there are large groups of Muslims in Jackson is suspicious. I haven't ever seen any in 3 years.
I won't discuss this any more with you, so have the last word. Again, I the FBI will handle it.
Struggle didn't say they were Muslims, the term was 'Middle Eastern'. Lets see--not many Amish fit that description, could have been a bunch of heavily accented Baptists tho, huh? Or maybe some Catholic Saudis--yeah, there are lots of those!
Personally, I would have asked them outright, but since Islam is the Cult of Liars why bother? I- and I stress 'I', not Struggle, would say they were death-cultists. You can assume they were Middle Eastern Mennonites if it makes you feel better.
I see you're in Singapore.
Lots of trouble with militant Baptists in those parts?
Since you have not come up with any theory as to why these guys would go to the most dangerous area of Jackson, I believe I will.
How about, because there is a store selling tracphones there ?
... and since as you say they were not local, why would they know to avoid the dangerous area ?
( Can't be that bad if they have a Radio Shack store )
Do you KNOW that they have not allready bought phones at the Wallmarts and the other Radio Shacks in the area ? The guys in Ohio who had a thousand or so were doing that .. hitting EVERY store.
do you have any idea of the amounts of $ put into securing our water supplies, smartass? that was done long before 9/11.
