SOMETHING SAID TO ME AT NYC FREEP TODAY: SCAREY ALMOST

Know what it might be? He might have just heard some thing about Holloween, and all he was doing was repeating to me the rumor he heard, not something he was privy to, but just being a parrot to the rumors out there. That could explain it, too.

But, when I asked him to explain to me, he just walked away, so, I hope this aint some militia thing like the DEMS want us to believe!!

But we'll rouse you when the terrorist du jour is a tow-headed Norwegian.

That's it! A coordinated yodel attack! That'll make us run for the hills quicker than any old anthrax!

Race, I say better safe than sorry. Report this to the FBI. Remember what President Bush said. If you witness something suspicious, call the police or FBI. If it's nothing, oh well. But what if it's not...

My fear is that there are groups of Americans working right along side these terrorist cells. It's not that far-fetched. Although "Jim" may say it is......

Race this is not a world anymore to let anything go unnoticed.When you or any of us go anywhere we should be aware at all times.

You did right and if it still has you thinking about it I would report it to the FBI. It won't hurt anything and if it is nothing what is lost. Nothing.
If something happens then you know you did all you could to help.

I am proud of you.

BTW, good job reporting it to the local doughnut patrol. I'd report to the FBI as well. Been there, does produce some sense of relief...

Maybe he thinks it has something to do with Black Tuesday? If not, it's the 3rd anniversary of John Glenn going into space.

In my opinion, you should call the FBI with as complete a description of the man and his clothing as you can remember, as well as the words he said to you.

No, he wasn't middle-eastern, but so what? He could have an Arab wife. He could be a nut case copy-cat.

He could be some nut-case finge group member that has allied themselves with the Islamic terrorists. That is a possibility. For example, what if some of the anarchists have decided to throw in with al Quaeda, because they share the common goals (anti-western culture, anti-trade, sismple living, etc.)? There could be TWO groups of terrorists at work, with different goalas but common methods.

It occurs to me that this guy looks like someone about my age who never left the sixties. There are some people like that, and some of them are scary.

Call the FBI. Let the burden of deciding be on their shoulders, not yours. I would call, myself.
