Fulton County police issued a Be On The Lookout, or BOLO, for two men who were observed taking pictures of the aircraft and facilities of Raytheon Aircraft Thursday at the Fulton County Municipal Airport-Charlie Brown Field.
The two men fled when Raytheon employees approached them. The men drove away in a tan PT Cruiser bearing the Canadian tag AMMZ226.
One of the men was described as a white male, about 40 years old, heavy set and standing about 5 feet 10 inches tall. The other was described as simply being about 30 years old.
Fulton County police are asking anyone with information to call (404) 641-7562 or (404) 505-3244.
You're right, the liberal disruptors continually trash the Constitution on FR but how do you propose we keep your friends off of this site?Actually, it is full-speed-ahead GOP/Bushbots that put party and power above the Constitution.
I know of none of my friends who qualify as liberal disruptors.
What did I do to offend you? Is it true that the dog who yelps is the one who got hit?
Both Canada and Mexico represent entirely different situations in terms of border access.
Some indiginous women uulate also, at basketball games.
That's a fact.
It's a relatively small airport with a couple of FBOs, an avionics shop, and one small hangar for the National Guard. (The only folks I ever saw near the NG hangar were a couple of Civil Air Patrol types, and the only planes they ever had in there were a couple of small civilian aircraft.) Longest of 2 runways (not counting 9 left which is for single engine student aircraft and can't be 3,000 feet long) is only 5800 feet. I can't imagine what any sort of terrorists would be doing at this field.
Well, certainly there wouldn't have been any resultant change in the Pinto's operating performance.
If you want to get people real excited go walk around on railroad property and see how quick the privately-hired cinderdicks will check you out. When I was a photographer for a local paper I went out to take shots of overturned trains after a tornado. No one was around, or so I thought. The railroad cars were empty, most just boxcars and coalcars. Within about two minutes I was looking at a big black guy with a gun strapped to his hip- railroad security. Running didn't even become an issue, and it didn't occur to me to avoid the security guy as he came closer. He asked my name and what I was doing, let me take some more pictures and made sure I left so he could continue his beat.
Now I'm just an artist who goes around snapping pics for my files of just about everything, and I imagine when I pick up roadkill specimens or plants or whatever, it might make people curious. I have to make sure that sample-taking is legal and be aware of other people's property rights at all times, even getting permission for taking photos of their farms and buildings as a matter of courtesy. (I don't want people to see me taking snapshots of their buildings and make them lose sleep wondering who I was or what I was up to.) I meet people all the time and have yet to run away and no one has ever confiscated my film or notes.
Last time I checked, taking photos was OK... but running away from security is a justifiable reason for them to come looking for you, just as zipping off when a landowner spots you out by his mailbox or his livestock gives the landowner a reason to call the sheriff out to let him know a stranger's been around and to keep an eye open. All this is as it should be. People have as much a right to know who you are and what you are doing if you are out snapping photos of them or the property they are entrusted to protect, as you do to take photos of things that aren't your exclusive property.
Did you already forget your little liberal blurb " As for trashing the Constitution... I have no idea why anyone would want to do that, but if you poke around FReeprland, you will find PLENTY that do. FReep on, -Orion"
You don't think your statement that "FReeperland" posters trash the Constitution is offensive to conservatives?
