Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
I have a few questions, but first a rant. I'm so tired of the "YOUR A RACIST" rants that go on here.
I ask you this. If a crime had been committed? And you were asked to discribe the person who did it? How would you describe the skin color. Would you tell the police that they looked like mexicans? Would you call them Black? Why am I white. I'm really German Decent. What if your Italian decent. Would it be racist to say he had dark black hair. OH WAIT... Don't most hispanics have dark hair. Maybe they were Italians. If you described your attacker as anything except white, with blond hair and blue eyes..... YOU MUST BE A RACIST
You call them as you see them. You may not be right. If they look black to you than that is what you perseve (Is Obama black? Or is he Milano... or light brown, why not just a darker white???). IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU RACIST.... IT IS HOW YOU SEE THIS INDIVIDUAL.... Duhhhh and that is life ladies and gentlemen.Last edited by Mtbkski; March 8th, 2010 at 08:39 AM.

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
Thank you.... Thank you.... Thank you....
You guys all have to grow up, and quit trying to degrade each other every time your on here. Instead, learn from the post. Help the poster to learn from the post. Maybe he didn't write it "policically correct". But he gave you the most info he could honestly. And you all made it a "RACE" issue.
You ask me, he had a close call.... but who cares about that. He made what could be construed as a rascist remark. We don't care if 3 guys could have jumped and beat him up... we want to know if you called them mexicans cause they looked like it, or because you just hate mexicans and everyone looks like a mexican to you, and what kind of mexican was he. Were they "citizens" or "illegal Immigants"?
Some of you guys are just jerks.

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
That's not what happened here. What happened here is that the OP described a perfectly uneventful trip to the bathroom, with no apparent warning signs at all, and he flipped to condition orange for no discernible reason. The only fact he really gave us about the incident was that there were hispanic people. Since there's no other obvious danger sign, we conclude that he went on the alert because they were hispanic.
Maybe the actual incident did justify heightened alert--but if so, the OP failed to provide us any information that would allow us to understand why that was.

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
Wally, I'm not sure you understand the point Headcase, Jah and others were making. Nothing in your story justified heightened alert. "Following" is pretty meaningless in a bathroom with only one exit, or for that matter in a mall in general. Everyone follows everyone in a mall; it's a bloody cattle chute.
If there was a good reason for your spidey-sense to start tingling, then you didn't tell us what it was.

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
^^^what he said^^^ some of you "PC" people are going too far with your "racist" crap.
when the newspaper has a story, be on the look out for three men in their late 20's they robbed a man at gunpoint, everybody says well that does us no good, why dont they tell us what race or color they were? do you know why? probably so they dont offend people like YOU.
i cant believe im reading this shit.FJB

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
This is how this thread should have unfolded.... But nooooo. We get to belittle a fellow gun owner. That is so much more fun.
Sometimes it is worth the extra time that is needed to avoid areas like this. As a gun carrier. The first thing you should learn is that you want to go that extra mile to try to avoid those areas that are bad news. This sounds like a bad area. Stay out of it. Next time, make a trip to another bathroom or hold it till you get home. Heck, piss in the parking lot on your car tire.
So I went in and noticed 3 mexicans hanging out and it made me uneasy
So I had no sidearm dumb move on my part so I zipped my leather coat up and put my leatherman in my hand.
My wife seems to think I walked in on a drug deal so I use the food court facilitys.The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control....

Sorry, but it became a race discussion.
What happened here is that the OP described a perfectly uneventful trip to the bathroom, with no apparent warning signs at all,
and he flipped to condition orange for no discernible reason.
The only fact he really gave us about the incident was that there were hispanic people. Since there's no other obvious danger sign, we conclude that he went on the alert because they were hispanic.
It may have been nothing. But, better to be alert and ready, then to have been taken off guard.Last edited by Mtbkski; March 8th, 2010 at 09:33 AM.

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
The guy comes in to tell his story of a situation, and this turns into yet another race discussion. Seriously guys, grow the f up. This is getting a little old. He said he went into a bathroom (fact), where there were 3 Mexicans (presumed fact, could be another 3rd world nation, but irrelevant), said they were looking suspicious (fact), in an area nobody could hear you scream for help (fact)... I would call that situational awareness. Stating the race of a group of people is not racist.
Some of you asshats on here are no better than Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or anyone else crying for racism on every occasion of a mentioned race. Hell, I on that count, I guess the guy that posted a few down from the OP about the "white hood rats" would be racist.
Seriously, it's getting old. When you pull the race card out, shove it next time...
I'm not one to get too upset or mad, but this shit is getting really old.III%

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
People hanging out in a toliet are always cause for concern....Can't be anything good going on in that kind of environment.
Was your post racist? - I dunno, don't want to be over reactive and PC here.
I can understand you being nervous. I would be.Last edited by Hokkmike; March 8th, 2010 at 12:44 PM. Reason: spelling - more commentary.....
