Barrett Firearms Security Incident

[Soybomb]

A fake story to feed the Homeland Security Trolls?

It certainly wouldn't be in barrett firearms best interest to do so nor do they have anything other than a stellar reputation with 2nd amendment rights. I see no reason to think this is the case.

In other words: darker than Jessica Simpson but lighter than Samuel L. Jackson.

Reminds me of when I was walking down the street with 2 indian friends and a truck of locals drove by and yelled "*******." Sometimes people see what they want to see be it a person of a race they don't like or maybe a crisis where there wasn't one. An overactive imagination sounds like the most likely answer here. If you had a nefarious use for a .50 bmg, there are plenty of far easier ways to get one than making yourself conspicious at the factory.

Gotta watch out for those Native Americans...

Update: Man offers Barrett $20,000 for scrap metal: detective
By LISA MARCHESONI

Another industry owner reported he was approached by an American Indian man wanting to buy scrap metal, similar to the middle-Eastern man who offered Barrett’s Manufacturing $20,000 to buy metal Wednesday, a sheriff’s supervisor said.

The Christiana company manufactures the military’s M107 .50-caliber sniper system. A plant employee was leaving the building about 4 p.m. when he encountered a man who appeared to be Middle Eastern. He arrived in a white dually pickup truck towing a white utility trailer.

Detective Maj. Chuck Thomas said the man offered to pay $20,000 for scrap metal. The man asked questions about what was manufactured there. When the employee refused to give information, the man demanded to enter the building but did not gain access. Two other men in a white Ford dually truck accompanied him.

Reports about the man prompted Brad Carter, owner of Molded Metals on Industrial Drive, to notify the sheriff’s office Friday an American Indian man and two companions in a white Ford dually truck attempted to buy scrap metal from him about two weeks ago.

The American Indian man entered the building but was told to leave, deputies reported. He returned the next day.

Carter told deputies he sold scrap metal to the men in the past but does not have information about them.

Because Barrett’s manufactures military weapons, the sheriff’s office notified state and national law enforcement agencies such as Tennessee’s Homeland Security office and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Detective Mark Di Nardo was investigating the reports but Thomas said the men could just be buying scrap metal to resell.

All these poor Mexicans want is a job and the American Way Of Life.

They are most certainly not interested in the "American Way of Life"

Speaking of ethnic unawareness... not Native American, most likely, but Roma (aka 'gypsy'). This has come up before, in other places.

Scrap Metal Gypsies
The Better Business Bureau of the Mid-South warns area companies to be wary of "gypsies" that are traveling periodically in the Memphis area searching for high value scrap metals such as stainless steel, chrome, and nickel. How are they identified? The gypsies usually use two first names such as Jon Tom and travel in a red or white dually pickup truck. They travel in groups of 2 or 3; sometimes they bring their entire family with them. They say they are either American Indians from South Dakota or out of town buyers from Texas. What do they do? They ask for the person who handles the scrap materials, guess at the weight and offer what sounds like a high dollar amount for the product. The employee accepts the money, and then finds someone else to help load the material into the truck. The gypsies then offer the person loading the materials extra money to put additional items in the truck. The gypsies walk away with a lot of value for a small amount of money and the company doesn't even know they have been taken. The Memphis police have been notified and have charged some of the gypsies with deceptive practices. The BBB advises to warn all employees of these practices.

Yep certainly a case of terrorists posing as scrap metal guys.

Actually they were Mexicans. Myself and my Uncle Chuy came up with a way to Reconquer America for Mexico by getting ourselves hired into a meat packing plant in Iowa and making the bosses of that plant rich by working hard for less money and benefits than a U.S. citizen would. They make more money off me cuz I'm illegal see. They take the taxes right out my check evan though I'm not a citizen. The federal government takes that money and throughs it down a giant rat hole where a bunch of rich guys get it and so now they have no money for stuff like Katrina. That's the plan.

OH, on Saturdays we pose as "middle eastern" guys and act suspicious cuz it's fun getting arrested and beat up and life ain't hard enough being "illegal".

But nobody said the word NI--ER..

Interestingly, neither did you.

I hold the word "******" to a definition that isn't "black people I don't like" but instead "people who act like wannabe gansta types that I don't like." Plus I wasn't sure if the board would filter the word (it's the one word, if you'll believe it, censored on the Totse forums for some strange reason). Notice that I also could have called the Mexicans "wetbacks" or "beaners." Oh, and I left out the gooks and the slants...

(In other words, lighten up. It was just a joke.)
