... they waited until ... THEY WERE OUT OF THE COUNTRY!
georgian or greek, though I would suspect neither, just saying....the nose, you know.
Too late. It's all over Free Republic. We're too fast for him.
In the early 90’s my husband and I rented a townhouse. When we went to interview with the owner and look at the house and put in an application, I wasn’t sure of the ethnicity of the guy. He didn’t speak with any sort of accent except for a bit of a Mur’land (Maryland) accent and was very American in dress and mannerisms but by his name (which was not Mohammad BTW and which I don’t remember for sure anymore but I think it was Mazyar) and by his appearance, I presumed he was of some sort of Middle Eastern persuasion and he was rather young, probably late 20’s early 30’s.
We decided we liked the townhouse and the neighborhood and the rent was reasonable so we called him a few days later to say we would like to rent it. And he was very pleased as he’d already checked our credit and references and approved us. He asked us if we wouldn’t mind meeting him at his parent’s house to sign the lease – it was closer to his work and closer to where we currently lived and he lived in a row home across town in Baltimore City, more convenient for everyone, so we said, sure.
The first thing that I noticed about his parent’s home was how immaculate and tastefully decorated it was. His mother was very warm and friendly and beautiful and neatly dressed in western clothes, makeup, jewelry, well coiffed hair, and she immediately offered to make us tea. His father was a little quieter, polite, not stand offish mind you, but a bit more reserved. We sat in the living room for a while drinking tea waiting for Mazyar to get the lease documents and the next thing I noticed was the pictures on the living room wall. Among the usual family portraits was a rather large portrait of the Shah of Iran. There was also a framed photograph of the father with Oliver North and another larger framed photo of the father with Ronald Regan. I really should have asked about the photos, wish I had but at the time I thought it might be rude so didn’t.
After we reviewed and signed the lease, the mother asked us if we liked or ever had “Persian” food and invited, implored us to stay and have dinner with them. We had other things to do that evening and I’m sort of sorry we didn’t because whatever she was cooking smelled delightful.
We learned that Mazyar worked a full time job (I think in IT) and had lived at home with his parents until very recently, saving his money and investing in rental properties, that he had recently bought his house for cash and was debt free – a very enterprising hard working young man.
And unlike the guy we had previously rented from, the guy who was by his own account, a Bible thumping “Born Again” who put the house we were renting on the market to sell without telling us (in violation of our lease and we first found out about it when his real estate agent came knocking at our door one evening to take measurements and put up the for sale sign); he was a good landlord. The few times we had maintenance issues, unlike our previous landlord who we could never get a hold of and wouldn’t return phone calls, he came right away; when the washer broke down he replaced it with a brand new one the next day and one time when we made a small repair ourselves over a weekend when he was out of town, he told us to deduct it off that months’ rent and just enclose the receipt for the materials plus deduct another $50 or whatever amount we thought was fair for our time and trouble.
We lived there for 3 ½ years when we found a house we really wanted to buy. We called Mazyar about terminating the lease early and told him that settlement could be as soon as 30 days, much less than in the lease agreement early termination notice period. He told us not to worry and that while he was sorry to lose us as tenants, he would let us out of our lease early without having to pay 2 more months rent.
Shortly after we moved into the house we bought, we got a card from Mazyar with a hand written letter congratulating us on our new home and thanking us for having been such good tenants, thanking us for leaving the house in such good condition and for cleaning it when we moved out. Enclosed in the card was a check for our security deposit (which we didn’t expect to get back since we broke the lease early) and a $50 Home Depot gift card.
FWIW, on 9-11 I was working in the accounting department of a pharmaceutical and was working with and training and mentoring a very young woman, a recent college grad whose family originally came from Iran. As we in our department were all huddled together watching the news of the Towers’ falling on a live stream on our manager’s computer, she came up to me with tears in her eyes and streaming down her face, saying, “Why? Why? Why would “those people” do that to “us”. All I could do was hug her and then I told her to go home and be with her family.
You know - that would also account for the kind of casual affect.
Another oddity with second from left. White shirt. Glasses hanging from shirt neck. His left shoulder is much lower then his right. Something odd about his entire left arm.
Check out the partially obscured guy kneeling behind the kneeling guy with cell phone in hand. He looks slightly asian.
Forget that one. His friend has his hand on shoulder. That makes his left shoulder appear lower then right.
Why not the guy standing next to the one in the plaid shirt?
With his sunglasses hanging in his shirt.
there is something wrong with this....
They look very calm, almost relaxed...and the bags don’t seem so heavy, these aren’t muscle men casually carrying 30 lbs plus.
this may all be disinformation while they know who they are going after and just tying up loose ends.And to throw the real guys off ...and calm down the media.
I concur.
The left arm looks damaged (prosthetic?). I don’t think he is Suspect 2...because of the arm (now could a one armed man place such a heavy looking backpack, on the ground, w/o awkward, jerky, attention grabbing motion)?
Must be an early Madrassa, Bombing 101 injury.
(Bad PaMom, bad!)
ROTFLOL...impressive snark! I like! And agree with not believing a thing we are told by our gov. anymore. Sad but true. Well deserved though when you consider fort Hood,F&F and Benghazi.
You can conceal your identity without drawing attention to yourself. Wrap around sunglasses, wear your hat the correct way and low. Don’t wear a bright white Tee under your jacket. Those things alone would make it harder for us to distinguish them. Not completely, but harder.
Yeah. I've been screaming all day that's the white hat suspect. I must have posted that picture 10 times. Same face. Same nose. Same hair. Same beard. Same bad arm. He's in a picture with the Saudi suspect who's known for his terrorist ties.
I tried to notify the FBI, but their stupid website asked too many personal questions, so I said screw it.
Even now, only a few people here have noticed.
Look at my posts above too, though, that someone else found on facebook.
