2. If you see something REPORT IT. People never want to get involved. More security needed

May 2013

I remember when poor mother and brother of the Unibomber were bombarded with negative comments for turned the extreme terrorist in knowing it was him.
People made really nasty comments about them.

It's like someone once said "All the loners best friends said they couldn't believe the loner did it".

Anything you see suspcious report it.
Best to be wrong, than to be right without saying anything.

btw, these were women...who bought the products they needed and didn't someone maybe think it was funny?

Sure they could soundproof rooms and hide them, but they still needed things.
And one had a baby...how was that hidden when one would figure the baby needed diapers?
Didn't someone in a supermarket think something was odd?

Did they pay someone to shop for them? Did that person not think it was suspicious?
