Rantburg has a story about an FBI investigation into the shooting of an unarmed Security Guard in Texas. I should have talked about this beforehand, but I had my own encounter with Islamists look-alike.
I was working last July as a security guard in a construction site (would-be Four Seasons Hotel) near Florida’s US1. It was around 7 P.M. when two middle eastern men (dark complexions, European-like faces) men in a Ford SUV drove by me, promptly parking about 150 ft away. The man in the passenger seat promplty began to take pictures of the construction site with a large camera, rapidly flashing away.
I inmediately thought the worst, and got off my car to confront them. I advanced a few feet, but being unarmed, I reconsidered and went back to my car to inform the other guard and the police, hoping to block the SUV’s path until police arrived. They were too quick. Once they saw me going back to the car they sped away, passing by me before I could make it back. To make things worse, when I tried to get the plate number the sun hit me right on the eyes (Four Seasons will be located right on the ocean, so they speed away almost directly away from the East, the Sun was setting right at that time.)
My heroic moment gone, I took my car and went around the hotel loop, and I informed one of the managers of the construction project, who told me he would call police, at which point I went back to my post, trying to forget about it.
This incident took place six months ago, and I’m not yet sure the FBI has that data, and I’m less sure they’ll take me seriously, with all the less-than-kind things I’ve said about them. So, should I call them? |
