terrorist plot close to home. Options

[Cero]

Well this was all over my news all day and you guys probably read or saw it. They arrested some people for planning on attacking Fort Dix in NJ. The thing is they trained for this about 25 miles from me in the pocono's in pennsylvania. I used to deliver in the housing development they rented a house in. Makes you worry a lot more when its close to home. Makes it feel like there is no safe place especially with nuclear power plants around me.

it would've been a hostile environment for all Muslims in this country if these guys had been successful.

Sounds to me like another fantasy party. Another crew of guys practicing a terrorist attack by, used guessed it, paintballing! LOL!

Yeah, they finally tried to buy some guns, probably offered to them by the undercover guy that was with them, but I suspect these guys would have ended up like most local backwoods militia losers...fantasizing about doing something but not actually being either stupid enough or courageous enough (take your pick) to actually do anything...beyond paintballing each other or shooting some targets behind an old garage.

Anyway, just IMO, but these guys were ready to attack a US MILITARY BASE? In their dreams!

BTW, not saying they shouldn't have been arrested. Just saying this ain't your mass attack, Al Queda super-terrorist. Like I point out above, more like a backyard militia-wannabe type except in Muslim garb instead of jeans and camo jackets. One truly crazy person was probably more dangerous than this dirty half-dozen.

I had the same feeling, until I was listening to a news report about their actual plan the other night, and they actually had a pretty decent plan. Their plan (apparently) was to wait for a bottle neck at the base entrance early in the AM, and just mow down everyone in their cars. Hit the guards first, then the first and last cars in line to jam the works up, and then get everyone else. They could have done a huge body count that way. I can recall how massive the traffic jams were in the morning at the Charleston naval base when I was stationed there. they could have realistically had a body count of well over 100 before any fire was brought down on them.



Thank the Big guy that their plan was foiled!
