The police were there to apprehend a man suspected of murdering a teenage boy days earlier. The man they were after lived in the unit above the girl's family.

lol,  if that were the  case  we  would be doomed  for  sure  as  TSA  couldn't  find  there ummm,  assets  without assistance.  Sowwy,  couldn't  help myself .  Darn you  Steven Spielberg  :P

No probably none of them. Speilberg got to me for a second I guess. It may be a good idea for TSA to pat them down just in case there are terrorists among them.

Now, now  Byron.  Not all would be  deserving of   special  alien  needles filled with  h1n1  would they ?

Benefit of  the  doubt and all that  jazz?  :P

I choose not to die in a fema camp on my knees so they will have to deal with me standing. An army we are Jim.

[Jim Balister]

They worry about the veterans because we were trained to fight.  And if they piss us off they know we veterans are an army!  You are right Keith.

DR. Bill   I too am am a vetran and according to the DOJ and HLS I am a potential terrorist. They want our weapons so bad they have just found a way to circumvent congress to get them and we have lost our rights even though the sheeple still think they have them. Yes keep your powder very dry. Martial law means there will be no presidential elections and we will be done as a nation.
