View Full Version : Had a "see something, say something" situation at work tonight

As many of you know I work in a casino. I got a call on the radio tonight, "Two females are in an altercation at <this location>". I think, here we go......Saturday night.
It turns out that a woman in the restroom is talking on her cell phone in a foreign language. Another woman walks in, hears her, and then confronts her. She even admits to saying things like, "You're in America....speak our language", "We've been told to report suspicious behavior", "I feel threatened", etc.
The other woman gets offended and they both start arguing vigorously. Both claim some physical contact in the restroom, but no cameras in there so no way to verify that. Both demand that the police be called because the one woman feels like the other is a threat, and the other wants to file a harassment charge.
Long story short, the woman on the phone was speaking in Spanish. AYFKM? After much discussion with the police, both parties calm the hell down and leave without any citations.
I have to think that situations like these are popping up all over the place, though I think that I can tell the difference between Spanish and Farsi for crying out loud. I think the accuser here was over the top and out of line.

A guy at work told me about reporting a Middle Eastern guy at DIA for writing down intermittent notes in a handbook at the gate for about 15 minutes straight. That is a legitimate cause for concern, in my opinion.
A woman speaking Spanish on the phone in a bathroom...that's not exactly suspicious behavior in my opinion.
The rule of thumb is that regardless of an assumed language barrier, ne'erdowells tend to speak quietly and among themselves when they're up to something. This is a country of immigrants and mutli-lingual people, so I don't think terrorists are going to risk having their masterstroke unraveled by blindly assuming that no one will be able to understand them if they speak at full volume in public.
I don't know spanish or farsi but I can tell the difference. People are on edge and rightly so, but foolish people on edge is a problem in itself.

Of all the people who have ever harmed me, it is the white people I fear the most. Especially the white government people!

Sounds like an alcohol induced "When assholes collide" moment.

This is what I'm thinking. That lady would probably have an aneurysm if she ever went for a walk along Federal or Pecos north of I-70.

Sound like perhaps cameras in the women's restroom might not be a bad idea. Just in case.

Really?
Writting in a notebook while being middle eastern is a cause for concern now?
What a jumpy bunch we have become.
I believe Islam is evil and am not afraid to say it. But some dude, who may or may note be Muslim, writing in a notebook at the airport, is not cause for concern. We're are rapidly turning into a country where it's encouraged to turn in our neighbors to the "authorities" for anything and everything...that is the opposite of what America is supposed to be.
Who talks on a cell phone while using the restroom in the first place?
People who want to share the sound of flushing toilets.
To my mind, the worst part of restroom phone use is almost every phone has a camera. Cameras in restroom = bad idea.
"Two females are in an altercation in the bathroom of a casino." Part of the floor show? [flamingo]

Pucker Up For Safety, Pucker Up.
If someone told me to speak English in America, I'd instantly go into asshole mode too. What a dumb bitch.
Everyone's on edge and at each other's throats. The irony is that both of those women are probably worshipping the same God this morning and will want/do the same things for their families in the coming week.
The Radical Transformation is in full swing!
Oh, and while we're at it, allow me to reiterate people who own/shoot AKs are traitors. Their guns fire icky Commie rounds! Such people have no place in America.

What if they're one of the ones that shoot .223mm or 22mm LONG RIFLE rounds?

Don't care, metric = un-American. Everyone knows that! Anything ending in MM is a terrorist gun.
Imperial, motherfucker, do you speak it?

Actually it's a Star Model B in 9mm parabellum.
Somehow, this is all a gun's fault.....

This is my thought. I mean, a majority of calls to police involve alcohol in some way.

What about an AR in 7.62x39?

An American that's been corrupted. Reminds me of Bill Ayers.

I bet bet you got some crazy stories, can you share?

We haven't had a real America in some time. So no need to relocate.

Yep. Anything slightly suspicious will be reported to authorities. Makes me wonder how many of my neighbors considered calling the FBI when I walked into my condo yesterday with my new rifle (in the box), a rifle bag, and cases of ammo?

I'd just wish they'd make up their f'in minds already. Pain in the a$$ having to anticipate whether an american manufacture went cost-effective and used metric fasteners, or decided to thump the eagle chest and went SAE. [and then the allen wrench required somehow falls right between the cracks of both sets of standards]

Then we agree we should round up all the metrics and deport them? Good!

As I've previously mentioned, my wife & I have seen and experienced it first-hand. It's sad; not only knowing it's coming from the general public, but from people I had once considered to be cool.
If one of the goals of the terrorists is to inflict fear into the daily lives of our citizens, it looks like they're winning.

Thanks man! Like others wrote, alcohol is almost always involved in the really dumb stuff.

You wanted a video from the bathroom? Not my thing, but to each his own.

Why mess with those icky Commie millimeters when you can shoot .223 and .308?

.45 ACP, .30-06, and .30 Carbine FTW. Those 3 calibers defeated the Nazis and Commie hordes in two wars ... [Coffee]
