The guys they caught in Miami are the keystone kops of terrorists.
What a bunch of doofuses--- I'm surprised they didn't put a sign over their warehouse stating that this was the home of "Wanna-be-Terrorists".

In recent weeks, neighbors noticed men coming and going from the small, double-bay orange warehouse in Miami's Liberty City. They were organizing a karate school, they said.

<snip>
Residents near the warehouse said the men, who appeared to be in their teens or 20s, had lived in the area about a year.

Tashawn Rose, 29, said they slept in the warehouse. "They would come out late at night and exercise. It seemed like a military boot camp that they were working on there. They would come out and stand guard."

She talked to one of them about a month ago.

"They seemed brainwashed. They said they had given their lives to Allah," Rose said.

She said they tried to recruit her younger brother and nephew for a karate class, but it never happened.

"It was weird," Rose said.

<snip>
He said they wore normal clothes "but sometimes they would cover their faces. Sometimes they would wear things on their heads, like turbans."

couldn't make this up.

OMG, young men exercising late at night.

Liberty City doesn't wake up until 6:00 PM. Most of the people there sleep all day and stay up all night when it's cooler out. That's why the daytime was good for home visits, most people were home sleeping.

2. nice hearsay "evidence"
Who the (*&#% cares what some "nearby resident" has to say about anything? So she saw people coming and going in the early morning hours sometimes wearing "things on their heads, like turbans." People can "see" what their "minds" have been trained to "see" by watching too much FOX "news." I want EVIDENCE about these people, not some gossip by a nosey neighbor.

3. Were the "things" on their heads the same as what
the Karate Kid wrapped around his head?

The Karate Kid was a terrorist! My faith is shattered!

4. "They would come out and stand guard."
In that neighborhood, it makes sense.

7. Yeah it's called warding off car thieves lol
Common practice in many urban areas.

If you don't want your car stolen it's kind of a good idea to have someone standing guard outside...but on a more grim note this all sounds very *series* and *hugh111111*
