Fuel Truck Highjack Stopped

Fox News

[areafiftyone]

Perry said the incident was at first treated as possible terrorist attempt, but later in the day FBI investigators and the State Highway Patrol agreed that they were not sure if it was anything more than road rage.

I wonder if this was just another false alarm?

NC FReepers... Heads up!

There was a big rig truck chase that was on CNN for a great part of the time and there was a live thread here. It was one of the funniest chases I have seen that even included the back of the rig catching on fire with the driver continuing to drive for a long time with the rig on fire. It was just a good ole dumb ass thief....though people were wondering at the time if it was a terrorist.

6:20 am, like maybe the driver fell asleep, ran off the road, took out some signs, dinged up the bumper, busted some lights and now the driver is looking to cover his a$$ by blaming it on terrorists? (could happen)

This happened once before with security guard, claimed some M.E. people stole a car or something like that?? anyone remember?

[Phantom Lord]

Not near me, but we have the Good Ol Boys down here that will have no problem taking care of the situation.

Sacrificing thousands of truly innocent lives under millions of tons of flaming steel and concrete in the name of political correctness is the definition of evil. I'm surprised anyone who calls himself civilized would go there.

Nash County NC is not very far from to the Navy base

Yikes! It is?? (I'd better go find a map...)

Wow I've never noticed it before.

[DJ88]

Well...I'm guessing here....but if the car was from NJ, and it was stopped near I-264 and I-95....it was either headed away from Raleigh to the coast or headed FROM the coast to Raleigh. Hm.

[cynicom]

Get it right, Swedes, not Norwegians. hehe

Throwing innocent people in jail ("internment", "relocation", "concentration camps", whatever $#%$ing euphemism you want to use) is absolutely evil. Remember Manzanar. Never again. Don't go there.

Neither nuke plant is actually close to downtown Charlotte, where the B of A building is the tallest thing around (something like 72 stories) ...... one is north (just about at the county line with Cabarrus County) and the other is south (actually in SC).

The one in SC is close enough to us that we get an annual calendar assigning us an evacuation center and an evacuation route ..... but we're on the outer fringes of the "danger zone" at about 10 miles away.

Downtown Charlotte is probably 20-30 miles away from either plant.

Trying to stop a semi-tanker with a Dodge Neon. Yep, the stupidity required to think up that one is definitely of Middle East caliber.

Most truckers don't like to drive over cars. They have to deal with dopey car drivers all the time.

In CA a few years ago, there was a rash of cars cutting off other cars to collect on insurance and cause carnage.

Taking away all of one's possessions and forcing him into a prison camp only because of ethnicity is indeed evil.

I know I don't post that much to have any credibility on here but I'm getting sick of hearing this scarastic "Islam is a peaceful and loving religion" BS... how would you feel if I said because of those right wing nuts that try and bomb abortion clinics that "Christianity is a peaceful and loving religion". It's the same thing.. pls for the sake of not corrupting brain cells around you.. end that line of thinking it's biased and baseless.

It's just possible that they weren/t Middle Eastern, but Mexican or Central American.
They may have been heading *here.*

From what I remember about that area, used to live in Littleton, NC. and traveled to Wilson just about every other day, there is a pretty big truckstop just before 264 hits 95. Who is to say these hadn't been casing the truckstop for someone they thought might stop if put under enough pressure.

[mondonico]

Don't bring a Neon to a Tanker fight.

(raspy falsetto voice)ooOOOOOOHHH Archy!!
