Very Concerned

[cav58d]

Last night myself, and two other college republican friends of mine went to see the movie "Loose Change", which was being hosted by the college socialist...The only reason we went was for the discussion afterwards and to disprove all the bullchit said in that movie, and try and save what ever respect we could for the patriots killed on 9/11, because this group was trying to take it away from them....

Anyways, they are getting completely destroyed in the discussion, and keep changing topic's left and right....Eventually it lands us on the topic of suicide bombings, and the leader of this nutjob group looks me straight in the eye and tells me that he truely believes that deep down inside of all of us, is a person who would strap a bomb onto his chest and kill civillians...Myself and my friends obviously went nut's and called him out, and immediately left because of anger...

We were all left feeling very un-easy about the comment this jerk made, and decided we would sleep on it before making any decisions...Today the three of us got together on campus to do voter registration, and we are approached by this same guy...Knowing I am a pilot through some of his friends, he asks me how he could learn to fly airplanes?  I told him I couldnt help him and I was buisy...

So now I have this guy who is a total anarchist...He truely believes in his heart of hearts that the US Government performed the attacks on 9-11...He gave praise to the terrorist and their noble fight against us...(evil and corrupt americans), and he tell's me he thinks all of us have someone inside of them that would strap a bomb to themselves and kill people...And then he starts asking me about aviation...

I dont wanna stereotype, but this guy looks like he is right out of Columbine...

Anyways, We have all come to the conclusion that we have to report this guy to some authority...If it was just him talking, and I didnt know how much he hated the US Government then I wouldnt have thought anything of it...But given what I have seen from him, and his background, I dont think this can be ignored...I'm sure its prolly nothing more then stupd rhetoric from some slob who didnt get enough hugs and kisses from his parents, but either way, is it worth taking that risk?

My question is, which avenue do we take?  Which law enforcement agency do we notify?  Campus Police???  FBI???  Homeland Security???  Keep in mind that myself and my two friends who witnessed this ahole, do want to protect ourselves, and want to remain as anonymous as possible...anonymous as in, when I report this, I dont want to agency who takes control of it to go up to the guy and say Mike Palazzo say's you said this.....I have no problem personally speaking to an officer/agent and signing any statements, I just want anomnity (sp) in regards to other things....

So anyone with experience in this field, please let me know what would be the best route to take?  And if possible please respond soon, because we will be reporting this tomorrow afternoon

thanks

Let him solo off in a Cessna on a long leg over the Arizona Desert, and make care the fuel gauge is broken

(Deep inside we're all a bit wicked, but this sounds like a nutjob)

[cav58d]

Believe me, if it's up to me, this guy isnt going anywhere near an airplane...

But seriously, what would you do?  24 hour's later and I am still concerned to the point where i'm almost nervous...It's not everyday you hear someone say this....

Is in fact what I heard enough to bring to the attention of some sort of police?  (I think it is)..

See Rule #4, #5

If you're man enough to make accusations against a man, you have to be man enough to stand up in front of him in court. The guy is yanking your chain for the debate. Think carefully before you go calling the cops.

Dave's not here, man.

Joe...Dont read my posts if you feel that way...seriously

RPM-  If it ever came to a trial, ofcourse I would defend anything I accused him of...Without question.

And I dont think it's just "yanking my chain", and "saying things to piss people off"...  This guy and his group are all completely convinced that the US is the enemy, and passionately and in anger argued in their defense...  Like I said, this is something I have decided to proceed with, and im just looking for advice on how to take the next step, in terms of who to contact.

You misused the word "Anarchist."  The term anarchist has come to mean someone who is crazy, when it really means someone who believes in no government and pure democracy.

It's funny how the government has twisted the word over the years so that the word anarchist came to mean nutjob, when it is actually what we all pretty much believe should be for our government.

You were done when you took him seriously.  From then on, there's a layer of him yanking your chain that you'll have to see through to know what, if anything, is underneath it.

One of the simplest effective ways to deal with him, I think, would've been to instantly tell him to STFU.

I dont know, there have been several shootings stopped just because someone said something. Im with you Cav, not everyone is yanking your chain, and id rather be the dweeb who beleived a teenager, than the guy who didnt go to the police because he was too afriad, and so people died. Better be safe than sorry, because if someone dies, its on YOUR head. I would go with FBI, but thats just a guess.

in theory what makes our society great is that we tolerate any and all views.  currently a person can't be convicted of committing a thought crime.  that may change in the future perhaps and there are people who advocate this level of control over our populace.  I have to go with RPM on this one.  what I would do is look for another opportunity to confront him, call him on his disturbing world view but do so in a manner that ridicules both his person and his view.  who knows maybe he'll blow his stack and take it to the physical level.  If you know how to defend yourself then no problem.  If you don't know how to defend yourself then take the shot and drop.  either way now you have cause, try to capture the event on film.

Kinda like how the word "liberal" has been twisted, or my favorite "hero".

Please don't tell me that there were 3000 "heroes" killed on 9-11. There were heroes, no doubt, but not 3000 of them. There were firefighter heroes and police heroes and civilian heroes especially on flight 93, but most of those people were murder victims, not heroes.

the meaning of many words in any living language change over time.  If you want a word to mean the same thing forever write in latin.

[Thrawn]

If I was a law enforcement officer the first thing I would want to know is why you are associating with terrorists cav58d.
