Where were you on 9/11/2001?
Personally, I'm amazed that no other FReeper seems to have seen this. Actually I can't blame them for not watching. The reading of all the names is not exactly scintillating television.
Glued to the TV.
I was in a recovery room watching TV as my wife was coming out of sedation! I screaming at her “did you see that” OMG! Meanwhile wifey was in twilight and totally unaware of what was going on. I get chills, not in a good way, thinking about it to this day.
So fake quoting someone is okay? That’s way more out of bounds. Tell them to stop it.
Had the day off, spent some time on here then went to the local public house for a steak and conversation on the happenings of 9/11. Nobody talked politics, everyone was concerned and really, in Springfield MO at the time, it wasn’t that bad of weather so I continued throughout the day thinking over what I had just watched and relating it to some of the versus in the Q’ran I had read.
Q 9 111 - “Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; in exchange for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they slay and are slain”
I think I even made a post on FR about it back then as it related to the date and for scummies, numbers and dates mean things.

I disagree. He was showing his respect for the dead by reading the names, AND stuck it to Omar and her Muslim buddies at the same time.
Was getting ready for work when news broke the Tower was on fire...sat down to listen and before long saw the second plane hit Tower Two......obvious an attack on our country...Ben Laden wasn’t far from peoples minds....we were indeed at war.
Of course at work everyone was fixated on this happening....and not long before focus was on what our nations response would be to those who had done this. The guys were ready to woop a** and the gals didn’t want to see war and death. One fellow had 3 daughters and just finished his service to our country, the draw to return to active service was enormous.....
A day none will forget....nor where they were when the world changed.
“He was showing his respect for the dead by reading the names, AND stuck it to Omar and her Muslim buddies at the same time.”
It could also be the other way around. That’s why I said it’s inappropriate. The t-shirt could have been in support of what she said too. Not alleging that just saying that it may and there are people nutty enough to do just that.
Thanks and God Bless our Republic.
And DemocRats are too stupid or power hungry to believe it.
Everything else was deleted ... nothing to see. But telling someone to kill themselves ... especially on this 9/11 thread ... is just too much.
It was a beautiful day in TX.
I was ever so thankful our kids’ elem teachers allowed them to watch the classroom tv for two weeks. Many of the talking heads were instructing parents not to let kids watch the news. Sorry, kids need to see it so they could understand. They won’t forget.
Posted this today on FB...
NEVER FORGET
18 years ago I was delivering the new Rogers Cable boxes to their stores when the news came over the radio of one of the towers being hit by a plane.
At first, everyone thought it was a terrible accident.
As I stopped at each Rogers store I could see the updates on their TVs and saw a second plane hit the other tower... and the world changed.
At my final stop in Brantford, I watched in horror as the towers fell.
I don’t know if it was the shock or my blood pressure but my center of vision became filled with a golden glow. It made it almost impossible to drive.
At the time Donna was living in Brantford and I carefully made my way to her house.
It was so good to be with someone, a loved one, on that terrible day.
I will always be grateful for the company and love she showed me that day.
I stayed there until the golden glow diminished to the point where I could drive again.
Everything changed that day as I realized how precious was the world we in the west had created
and how it was mortally threatened by evil men and an evil theology.
It drove me to do what I could to help, protect and cherish this treasure we had been bequeathed by our ancestors.
It led me to create my Northern Sentinel FB page and the coming soon website...

The context is important and here is the full, actual context.

I was reading the threads in real time on freerepublic.
I don’t remember if I turned on the TV at home.
I went to work and they were watching TV.
When the second tower collapsed, the boss let us go home.
I went back on freerepublic where it’s always more informative than talking heads.
I was at work at HQ of a top tech company, and the workforce was extremely “diverse”. TVs were everywhere, and we were watching in large groups below the TVs. After a couple hours, when we returned to our cubes, it was apparent that ex pats of a certain diverse group were gone for the day. They had silently skulked out during the hubbub. Go figure.
You need better reading comprehension. I am not the person whom you have been talking to. I am an outsider observing your boorish behavior.
In Omaha, NE area. Our schools stayed open, as well, as it was unclear when parents would be home for their children.
Our office closed around noon (don’t recall exact time). I remember walking down the block to meet the middle school children that lived in our immediate area (about 20 of them), because some would be going to empty houses. I wanted to gauge what they knew about the terror attacks, check their emotional status, and see if any wanted to wait at my house, if their parents weren’t home yet. Turns out that most businesses had closed.
I also remember that fairly early in the afternoon, there was talk about people should rush to fill up their gas tanks, because there could be fuel shortages.

Thanks for the good find.
However I still don't get your drift.
Are you saying this guy was wrong to wear the shirt while reading the names? If so just say so.
A number of the comments ranged from, "very powerful" to others of various reaction.
What evil sickos.
I corrected my mistake....
....please be kind
