CBS3/AP) GOULDSBORO, Pa. While staying in the Pocono Mountains to practice at a state firing range, some of the men who allegedly planned to attack Fort Dix damaged their vacation rental with paintball pellets and drew the attention of security guards....
Inside the Poconos rental house, about 90 miles north-northwest of the Philadelphia area and New Jersey's Fort Dix, defendant Mohamad Shnewer played laptop computer videos that showed U.S. Military vehicles being attacked and destroyed, the federal affidavit said.
"Shain Duka pointed out that a United States Marine's arm had been blown off, at which point laughter erupted from the group," the affidavit said.
Ed Wilson, 66, a cemetery director from New Jersey who has had a second home at the resort for 20 years, said he remembered his wife telling him after 9/11 things would never be the same.
"Apparently, she was correct. No matter where we go in the United States, we'll have to keep looking over our shoulders or scrutinize the person standing next to you in the elevator," he said. "Beware America, I think we are really in trouble."
The shooting range used by the suspects is located down a dirt road in a remote, wooded area. On Tuesday, two men were practicing at the range.
"It's a little disturbing to know people like that are able to come around to my area and practice using weapons that they might use on our military," said Jude Pembleton, 32.
Steve Fefzchak said a person shooting a semiautomatic weapon wouldn't raise many eyebrows.
"It's definitely out in the middle of nowhere," he said. "It's game land, anybody can come here. Look at it, there's me and one other dude here. Who would even ask questions about it?"
Gouldsboro Tavern Owner Christi Wood says two of the men, Serdar Tatar and Agron Abdullahu frequented her bar, she last saw them four weeks ago.
"They came in sat down, had drinks, (one of the guys) even got into it with one of our customers because he's a very big patriot," said Wood.

So even while these Islamic Muslim Terrorists scumbags are here in our country..Illegally..they are planning to kill and maim our soldiers...and even "taunting" those who are Patriots. Our PC culture has gone waaaaayyy too far...there was a day when starting that type of taunting would have someone knock the snot out of these types of scumbags. Those who had the snot knocked out of them usually deserved it!
I agree. Only law-abiding Americans should be able to practice with weapons like that, so we can use them on people like that.
They had drinks? Hypocrites!
Under the hate crimes law, verbally challenging a jihadist could be a crime!
It gets even worse. Last year I was at a TGI: Friday's for dinner with my wife. Place was crowded and the only available booth was right next to the bar. RIGHT NEXT. So we sit and we're looking at the menus and my "spidey sense" starts tingling. I cue in my hearing to listen to the conversation of the three loud drunks that have taken seats literally an arm's distance from us. They're all from the M.E. and they introduce themselves to one another. One is a Palestinian, one is an Iraqi and one is Iranian. Gee three of the world's finest citizens! They're really drunk and the Americans sitting next to them and all around them ignore what is being said. But me, I pay attention. I'm staring into the eyes of the enemy.
They order several rounds of shots. The first toast? DEATH TO ISRAEL! The second toast? DEATH TO AMERICA! And finally: ALLAH-HU AKBAR! JIHAD! Nothing. No reaction from anybody. I'm seething, but calm outwardly. Thanking God my best friend isn't present or maybe wishing he was. LTC of Special Forces and Jewish to boot? They'd all be dead before they hit the floor.
Then they settle down to some serious drinking. The topic of conversation? The sweet taboo of raping jewish women. My wife is now getting pretty agitated. So I move her to another table and I wander outside. I'm looking for a particular person.
The off duty cop who acts as mall security. I find him with about five other cops just outside. I explain the situation and say that these guys are spewing some pretty vile things. The astonishing reply was that the cops can't do much since most of the arabs at the University of Miami are there under Diplomatic Immunity.
I said that they were so drunk that I feared for the lives of my family while on the road home. That struck a chord. So when we left, there were three units hovering around waiting for a decent DUI bust that they knew would get kicked but still give them the stat and a chance to remind the enemy that folks here at home still pay attention to threats uttered against our homeland.
Why didn't they throw them out like the restaurant owner threw OJ out of in Kentucky!!!
Every establishment has the right to refuse service etc.
