That's a sure fire way to get attention from the govenment, on your own actions. No thanks. Turn the guy away. Suspecting an Arabic or black person of bad intentions is racist.

Better pull all those FBI agents looking into Hitlery’s email and send them pronto to Orlando to harass this gun store owner.

Failure to do so would be “contrary to our values as Americans” according to Obungo.

“It is illegal to discriminate against race, color, religion or national orgin BUT nothing prevents the gun shop from instituting a mandatory bacon test before sales can be completed.”

I guess Jews aren’t allowed to defend themselves?

guess I didn’t think this one through. You are correct. I rescind my suggestion. How about the recitation of “There is no god called Allah and Mohammed is his false prophet” for a test?

Was originally going to post a /s after above comment
But decided that the replies would expose just WHY people do NOT say something when they see something.
Point made!

Interesting. Does that mean he didn’t want to be a martyr or just wanted to buy a couple minutes to do more killing in the name of Allah?

“If something is suspicious, it’s our discretion,” Mr. Abell said. “We are the gatekeeper.”

See where this is going? All that a muslim can do now is cry ‘discrimination’ and get CAIR to sue gun stores out of business. All the while, arming questionable people who will eventually strike.

What is suspicious when one is wearing his ‘pajamas’ in the middle of the day, and the statement “I looked into his/her eyes” comes into being because that was the ONLY skin you could see on the entire body(occasionally a hand would peek out) BUT the drivers permit was the same as what I was looking at and there was a camel and goat in the parking lot AND he wanted it delivered to the local mosque and they would meet us there.

Move on Folks- nothing to see here.

Yep, was just thinking, you make that call, the DOJ will be calling back, notifying you that you'll be shut down while they investigate reports of violating public accommodations acts.

Stomping on a Koran might be a better bet. Orthodox Jews will fail your Bacon Cheeseburger test.

The red flag was that he was obviously a jihadi. These guys are clearly a bunch of racists, CAIR needs to jump on them.

"Very odd" behavior in a gun store? Heck, the tens of millions of foreign nationals within our borders is "very odd." A Manchurian Candidate in the White House is "very odd." A female insane communist running for president is "very odd", especially since the Constitution refers to the President in only masculine pronouns.

We're living in "very odd" times. Don't believe it? Just look at the cover of People magazine. A fag named Richard Simmons is pretending to be a woman. A really, ugly woman. I've seen iguanas that look better.

Left out of the WSJ article:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/orlando-shooter-turned-gun-store-suspicious/story?id=39901107

“An an alert salesperson refused to sell to Mateen, and Abell said he contacted authorities about Mateen prior to the massacre. The local sheriff’s office said they were unaware of the incident at the gun store and other local authorities, including the local FBI office, have not responded to ABC News’ requests....”


An important point because excluding that little nugget of truth keeps the focus on gun control. The truth is in spite of all of the red flags, Mateen was under no surveillance.

The ball was dropped by the feds which is nothing “ common sense gun control” will fix.
