Aug 26, 2007 I can't believe you people. Sure seems the New World Order has got you citified people right where they what you; paranoid and suspicious ready to accuse at the drop of a hat. After reading the attached AP article, I can't imagine how you would react to the game we used to play. Usually sponsored by Car clubs or events (these "Clubs" were not gangs). These were commonly called "Hare & Hound Rally's". A secret route was planned and a Hare was choosen. The hare would start and then contestants (the hounds) were released to track at intervals. When ever the Hare came to an intersection, they would throw a paper sack filled with flour or lime in the middle where it burst open. The Hare would then continue on to the next planned intersection and repeat the process to the designated finish line. When the Hounds came to the intersection they had to decide which way to go. If they came to another intersection and there was no "Mark", they would have to back-track; etc. Prizes and/or trophies were presented to the winning hounds. Plastic baggies replaced paper and was later replaced by scoops or just dropped by hand. In fact, arrows and marks are left in the same manner for cross country student runners still to this day all across this Amerika. Would you "Label" these people terrorist as well?? (From what I'm seeing and hearing, that answer would have to be YES.) Running club members face felony charges NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot to mark a trail for their offbeat running club inadvertently caused a bioterrorism scare and now face a felony charge.The sprinkled powder forced hundreds to evacuate an IKEA furniture store Thursday. New Haven ophthalmologist Daniel Salchow, 36, and his sister, Dorothee, 31, who is visiting from Hamburg, Germany, were both charged with first-degree breach of peace, a felony. The siblings set off the scare while organizing a run for a local chapter of the Hash House Harriers, a worldwide group that bills itself as a "drinking club with a running problem." "Hares" are given the task of marking a trail to direct runners, throwing in some dead ends and forks as challenges. On Thursday, the Salchows decided to route runners through the massive IKEA parking lot. Police fielded a call just before 5 p.m. that someone was sprinkling powder on the ground. The store was evacuated and remained closed the rest of the night. The incident prompted a massive response from police in New Haven and surrounding towns. Daniel Salchow biked back to IKEA when he heard there was a problem and told officers the
powder was just harmless flour, which he said he and his sister have sprinkled everywhere from New York to California without incident. "Not in my wildest dreams did I ever anticipate anything like that," he said. Mayoral spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga said the city plans to seek restitution from the
Salchows, who are due in court Sept. 14. "You see powder connected by arrows and chalk, you never know," she said. "It could be a
terrorist, it could be something more serious. We're thankful it wasn't, but there were a lot of resources that went into figuring that out." |
