I met a wierd dude today...
 

So my fiancee and I went and did a lil fishing from this park on the hudson today. Well while we were there some dude comes up to us and starts asking some really wierd questions.

Like which islands are what... How many tankers go down the hudson, etc etc... Then he asked me if the big tankers go right past west point.

I thought that was strange. He wasnt arab, he was black... But what was even wierder was he was taking notes on a lil note book....

I of course didnt give him the right info as I found this all strange. I did ask him why he wanted to know 4 times, but he never answered. So I gave him attitude and blew him off...

Wierd dont ya think?

Dude.. you just sold out your country to terrorists

A latin king bought me a beer.... now thats fucked up:glugglug

Can you not read? I didnt give him any info.

Now you're in the list...

fbi lookin for snitches :glugglug

You should have said that Muhammed can suck your cock.

"Wierd dont ya think?"


Very!!!!

This will sound crazy and risky, but if that happened to me, under the Patriot Act, I would have placed him under citizens arrest and taken him in custody and immediately over to the local FBI office for questioning.

theres alot of black arabs out there

:1orglaugh he said he didnt give him the info

Dude it happened so fast all I could think of was to give him false info... I gave him exactly the oppisite of what he was looking for....

Headless, seriously, send an e-mail here and let them know all the details, description, etc.

Don't take this lightly. Odds are you were talking to an Al Quaeda operative today.

Get that info to them ASAP, as they will still be scouting the area if there is a plan in the works to hit the US Military Academy.

Here's the e-mail address.

DO IT!

I'd report it just to be safe... never know what the fuck people are planning..

Ever heard of journalism? Also, it's spelled 'weird'. :)

Just out of curiosity:
Did you notice any signs of intoxication, or maybe he was high on something?
Just wondering...

I've also come across random people who ask the weirdest questions, mainly they are trying to form a conversation or maybe make a friend.
In your case...this is probably not so

I agree with KRL, you should of taken some action...this will probably pick at you until you do ... maybe if you act soon it will make a difference.

:2 cents:

Also you never know, maybe he was conducting a survey or some form of statistical report.
His appearance and the way he carries himself would probably have given that away though...

Maybe you can give us a description, and any other info...
The GFY Detectives will get on it ASAP :winkwink:

You're all paranoid crackheads. If I asked if large tanker ships passed by the river, would you all pounce on me? Dude, who gives a shit.

How about if I asked if airplanes flew in the sky, or if cars passed by at certain times. How can you draw a conclusion of terrorism from such a randomly stupid question.

No he wasnt drunk. He walked out to the shore. Stood there watched thew oil rig start to go by and then walked over to me and my fiancee.

He was dressed rather well, had a cellphone speaker thing in his ear... What bugs me is he was taking notes of shit...

I should really report it...

If he was someone with hurtful intentions, that could have been dangerous for him and his girl.

I would have made a mental description of him and called the police or the terror hotline. You don't have to have proof that he was doing anything bad, just suspicions and they'll investigate.

better safe then sorry

Hey asshole... He appeared as soon as the tanker started to make way and then asked me if I thought it would pass by west point.

He also wouldnt answer my question as to why he wanted to know such things...

Like I said it happened so fast the first thing I could think of was to give him the wrong info.

Fuck this shit is bugging me out...

LOL I cant really remember his face... But I will say this... He was dark skinned but not african american... More like a mix between middleeastern and african american...

He did dress semi dressy... what bugs me is he showed up as soon as the tanker did... and left when his questions and the tanker did....

krl what was the url on the gov site you got that email addy from?

Dont worry...You've just been <b>X</b>'d!

The idea of someone placing a person under citizens arrest just cracks me up :1orglaugh

This is NY, you try something like that... and the person would probably end up laughing at you :2 cents:

But seriously... lets not let paranoia get the best of us, just file a report and let it be what it is.... :thumbsup

Headless, I agree with you and think this was extremely suspicious. If it was some drunk rambling on and then asking questions then rambling on again - I wouldn't worry, but since he was:
1) Well dressed
2) had a cellphone
3) Came to you right after it was leaving
4) Asked you questions without starting a conversation first
5) Insisted on answers without answering yours

I definitely would contact the FBI - you never know and would never want to say 'I should have advised them'. It could be devastation in waters, ecosystems, wildlife and depending on the water sources of the cities nearby, it may cause havoc on water systems too.

Just do it......contact the FBI.

I've arrested people before. Especially DUI drivers. All citizens have the power of arrest and more should use it.

I just got off the phone. Left a report... They might call me back...


I wish I had gotten his plate number... But at the time I thought he was just an asshole... And when I turned to see where he went he was gone...

But I feel better about leaving the report...

Contact the feds... the dudes probably some brainwashed fanatic. Thats damn suspicious if someone just starts asking you questions like that out of the blue.

Damn... nice to see someone stick up for their beliefs.... most people wouldn't do that.

:thumbsup

You never know Headless but that simple step might have just saved hundreds or even thousands of lives.

You're right. I just wish I had gotten his plate. Crazy times we live in... I'm not used to thinking like this on the spur of the moment yanno...

I truly hope it was nothing... Better to be nothing then something...

Well I only recommend it if you are a sturdy and intimidating type of individual, equiped with the verbal skills and means (gadgets) to effect an arrest, and mentally and legally prepared for all it entails when you arrest someone.

Hmmm, how ironic and coincidental.

Hmm, has it occured to anyone else, that sometimes things just happen for no reason. People are weird! End of story! Dont you think that terrorists have better sources than asking strange ppl in the streets. They work for the fuckin govt that is why they can do the things they can do, until they are detected of course. Im sure it was just a odd person. Man, you should hear some of the things people use to talk to me about when I was on the bus, some just talkative other mentally sick. I think everyone in the States can calm down for a few years, they terrorists have a few more countries on their list to still bomb before they start all over again, and unfortunatly Canada is next.....haha no way Im worried though, and when it happens it happens, not like Im some super power chick who can stop it. Sorry got me ranting, I hear so much stuff about terrorists all the time and I have way too many strong ideas about them and war.

word!!! :1orglaugh

The FBI was testing you, and you failed.

40 again biatchhhhhhhhhhh

Report it
