That might very well be the case. They certainly wasted no time smearing Eunice Stone. I had bad vibes about these guys the minute one of them gave the very first interview to the press at the rest stop. He came across extremely belligerent and not at all believable. I'm sure Eunice heard what she heard. She was not out looking for trouble - she was having breakfast with her son. She obviously overheard something that freaked her out enough to take that step and dial 911.
That's a question worth researching. There are too many unanswered questions. I wouldn't be surprised if the feds somehow connected these guys to the one they picked up in Florida yesterday.
They are making it worse but I don't think anyone wants to tell them that. Let them dig a hole they can't get out of. I don't want dishonest doctors taking care of my family.
They could have apologized and if they aren't involved in anything this would go away overnight but NOOOOO. They have to spit in our faces.
Usually, dogs specialize in only one material. There are dogs that can handle more than one type of substance (i.e. explosives;drugs, or cadaver, air-scent). As far as being reliable... that depends on the dog. All handlers keep training logs and have to pass certifications for their dogs to be used in active duty. If there is a question about the dog's reliability, the training logs are looked at for what kind of training the dog did and under what circumstances. If there is any question, a second dog is brought in to confirm the first dog's findings. I would say that two well-trained dogs hitting on the same thing would mean that the dogs are right. I know that the "testimony" of a bloodhound is submissable in court and is taken as fact. In other words, if you have ten cars lined up and you give the command to find a scent of a person using a scent article from that person, and the dog hits on a car, then that is taken as fact that that person was in that car.
I personally believe that any hospital should think twice before hiring middle easterners, outside of Israelis. They have different values regarding life. My father died two years ago in a Virginia hospital. When he was brought into the emergency room, this man, albeit elderly but who had not hardly been sick in his life, prompted an Egyptian doctor to ask my mom permission to withhold all food and water and allow him to die. They would give him medication so that he would not realize he was being put out to pasture. Couldn't believe it. When I spoke to some of the nurses, they truly didn't seem to realize that this sort of thing was going on under their noses. He died a week later anyway, but not because we allowed this doctor to kill him.
If they're not being watched, God help us. And a 24 hour watch is not long enough. Too many of these types are US citizens or permanent resident aliens (non-immigrants). Maybe they're a little too confident cuz they think the feds are too busy watching the immigrants on temporary visas and not watching the citizens.
I had not heard this. What is your source? I know that the men detained in Buffalo had trained in Al Queda camps, but had not heard this about the FL three. That would certainly change a lot.
That's because their attornies have now "cleaned up their act." If you compare their comments immediately after their release (at a highway rest stop where they publicly prayed), they have significantly changed their tune. On Friday, they and their families called Mrs. Stone a "liar" and a "racist," and denied that they had said anything that could be construed to be a terrorist plot.
Yesterday, they praised Mrs. Stone, and admitted they had said some of the things she quoted, but that she "misunderstood." Note that the Sheriff states that one of them answered questions with questions -- fishing for info on what LE knew, so they could tailor their story accordingly.
These "boys" are on very shaky ground, whatever their motives or intent; and their attornies know it.
Correct. I'm glad LE is still investigating.
I've seen a few posts complaining about these guys being given so much air time. But, each time they open their mouths, they just get in deeper. Let em' talk! LOL They are only hurting themselves.
Technically they are Americans...but in actuality, these fanatics owe their allegiance only to their cult.
They may technically be citizens but they are not Americans.
Eunice told John Scott that she and her son arrived at Shoney's at 10:20 AM and left when the three men left at 10:50 AM.
Mapquest gives the distance from Calhoun, GA to Naples, FL to be 683.24 miles and an estimated driving time of 11 hours, 35 minutes.
The Honda was stopped by ONE police officer (not 700) on Alligator Alley, eight miles east of the toll booth, around 1 AM (the white car was not stopped but it pulled up behind the patrol car). That leaves about 2 1/2 hours to be accounted for.
TWO dogs alerted to BOTH cars. That still has my attention.
Where was it stated that they trained in Al Quada camps?
