Okay, but don't laugh at them and also ask them questions... you don't have the right to do that.

I wouldn't give the scum that kind of time.

Consider this... A car, driving slowly on residential streets, at 2:45am. The car has taken a seemly random route that has been looping and turning on itself several times, always keeping the speed down to about 15-20mph. It has passed pretty much every house in the neighborhood at least four or five times, without returning to major roads, and without stopping anywhere.

Suspicious? Absolutely. That's why I was pulled over. The police officer started to ask me what I was doing, and then he noticed that I had a crying infant in the backseat. He put two and two together, and saw that I was using the car's vibration to get my infant son to sleep. He offered a few words of sympathy, urged me to avoid falling asleep at the wheel, and sent me on my way.

I was driving in an extremely suspicious manner. Perhaps I was looking for houses to burglarize. Perhaps I was trying to sell drugs. The police officer made the right call, and I don't fault him in the slightest.

Perhaps you were lost, looking for your destination? 9_9

What? You keep bringing this guy up like it means something. I does not.

You know what Stockholm Syndrome is? You and some other members have it. One keeps telling me that the government hasn't used the NDAA against Americans yet. They say they can but they haven't yet, so they are good. That is Stockholm Syndrome.

It's merely a definition of suspicious activity. Like the driving habits in my recent anecdote. If I had been driving at that hour, pulled up to a house, parked the car, and let myself in with a key, that's not remotely suspicious. If I was driving slowly, but it was during broad daylight, it's not very suspicious either.

The flyers identify multiple suspicious behaviors that mean nothing individually, but are worthy of note when multiple behaviors are observed in a single person.

You recently quoted this one: "Buy bulk foods, you are a terrorist."

Can you identify the flyer in which you found this?

Like paying for items with cash! That's DEFINITELY suspicious behavior, on the watch list you go!

why he continues to remain ignorant of whats actually written on the fliers is beyond me. he for some reason is hell bent on believing in something that is just not true.

You are correct, however a very large assumption is being made that I think people need to take more seriously:

examined by law enforcement professionals
