I Think A Major Intelligence Agency Is Following Me Around

Maybe I'm becoming a little paranoid from the lethal dosages of caffeine I've been taking in the past few days, but I honestly believe that a major intelligence agency is following me around. There are two intelligence agencies I have in mind. I don't want to mention either one in this post. I'm sure you know which ones I'm talking about.

Late Sunday evening, I went out for my usual nighttime jog. When I was nearing the end of my jog, I stopped by a local 7-11 to pick up a snack and found a nice park bench where I could take a quick 20 minute break.

While I was sitting on the park bench, a man in a tan trench coat walked out of nowhere and sat on a nearby bench. I've been living in Florida for 19 years, and this is one of the few times I can remember seeing a person in this state dressed up in a trench coat. This night wasn't particularly cold, so I don't understand why he would find the need to dress that warmly. The trench coat looked almost identical to this one.

I sat on the park bench for another 20 minutes until I was completely finished with my snack. As I got up to leave, the man in the tan trench coat got up at the exact same time. At first, I thought he was approaching me to ask for something, but he passed directly in front of me which gave me this eerie feeling inside. There was something strange about the way he approached me. But I encounter strange people all the time when I go out for these nighttime jogs, so I didn't think a lot of it at the time.

Last evening, I went out for the same jog. When I was almost finished, I stopped by the local 7-11 to get a snack and sat on the same park bench to rest. Again, the same man in the tan trench coat came out of nowhere. But instead of sitting on a park bench like he did the night before, he simply stood on the nearby sidewalk while barely moving an inch. When I was finished with my snack about 15 minutes later, he was still there. He didn't move until I started moving which freaked me out a little.

After I left the park, I continued jogging until I got to the downtown area of where I live. While I was jogging, a woman in a silver vehicle flagged me down to ask for directions which didn't strike me as odd because people ask me for directions all the time. This woman wanted to know where a certain street was, so I gave her the most accurate directions I could. She thanked me and drove away. Usually, when you give somebody directions, they turn their vehicle around and head in the direction where you pointed. Instead, this woman drove in the exact opposite direction which I find very odd.

If an intelligence agency is really following me around, I assume they're trying to build a profile on me. These strange people who I encountered in the past couple of days are probably agents with hidden cameras on them. When they passed me, these hidden cameras were probably taking videos and photos of their "target". Basically, they want to figure out who they're dealing with. Are they trying to take me out? Am I the next "enemy of the state"? I have absolutely no idea. But I'm fairly certain that something is going on here.

In case you guys haven't noticed, I'm on a mission to inform the public of things to come. Most of you people find my methods of spreading this message to be very annoying which really doesn't bother me. I believe the economy is getting ready to collapse, and I believe the economic collapse is going to be followed by a massive depopulation effort. In all likelihood, this depopulation effort will involve a human form of rabies that turns people into rabid cannibals. Don't ask me how I figured this out. But if I'm 100% accurate with my predictions, I assume one of the major intelligence agencies is wondering how I figured it out. They may be concerned that insiders are spreading confidential information to me. So that would explain why they're following me around.

    The man in the trench-coat is naked underneath and trying to find the right moment to flash his bits.

    The woman in the car means your about as good as giving directions as I am.

    Honestly, this is pure paranoia.

    And what is it you think you are doing that is so subversive such as talking and posting on the dysfunctional OT forum that would make them remotely interested?

      I see you are from the wonderful state of Florida.
      And being a citizen of said state perhaps you should take advantage of the fantastic gun laws that enable you to carry a weapon and protect yourself.

      But in all reality, if you truly have no reason to be followed, change up you run.
      Run elsewhere.
      Keeps your eyes open.
      Or better yet, clothesline the guy in the trench coat.
      ... just a thought

        I'm shopping around for a handgun as we speak. I already have a rifle but you obviously can't carry those around as a concealed weapon. But I don't know how useful a handgun will be if a major intelligence agency wants to take me out. Obviously, they have very sophisticated methods for carrying out that task.

          She doesn't like doing u-turns? She had somewhere else to go first down the road?

            Their agents weren't standing out like a sore thumb. The reason why I noticed them is because I'm fully aware of my surroundings. I have a very open mind which allows me to spot tiny details that other people don't notice. For example, I ordered a few movies online a little while ago and immediately figured out that they were fakes. Everybody around me told me I was nuts because there were no obvious signs to distinguish the fakes from the real thing. The tiny detail that told me they were fakes was the SERIAL CODE on the back of the DVD. Every movie that's manufactured by the major movie studios has this serial code. If you don't see it, you know you have a fake. I figured this out in a matter of minutes simply by examining the other movies I have in my collection.

              I hate to tell you this, but it doesn't take too much keenness of observation to notice someone hanging around you in a trenchcoat especially when not weather appropriate to do so. That is actually how some "investigators" would dress on TV. Are you sure you just didn't see this on TV?

              NSA or other such agents do not dress to attract attention. They also don't usually just walk around behind you. If they want to build a profile, all they have to do is hit the internet, credit/debit card usage. You would not believe how much they can find out about you just from that. Add a cell phone GPS and you have a combo that is tantamount to knowing your next move almost before YOU know it. They also use vans with different observation/recording devices so you may never ever even need to see that anyone is anywhere near you.

              There are at least a million people out to spread info about some of the crap that is being pulled on people. I find it more than a joke that you are egotistical enough to think they even notice or care who you are. They don't care about much of anyone other than other what other people inside the power structures are doing. They don't care what we know because there's little left we can do about it. It's "intelligence" not "stupidity" and following some dude who's so insignificant that he's posting stuff on the Internet and so out of touch he's afraid of people in trenchcoats wouldn't do much but have them all around the computer laughing.

                  And in your own little world, you think you are so smart that you have info gathered from "observing" that nobody else in this country is smart enough to see? Get a grip. Seriously. Get a grip.

                  If you seriously believe that, and you seriously get a gun -- use it to take yourself out and leave the rest of society alone. At this point, I'm not taking you to be anything other than a teenage troll getting his rocks off on this conversation. If I'm wrong then your family needs to quit calling you "insane" and do something about you being loose in society. People like you are the ones that are scaring people so badly that they actually have tried to take everyone else's self defense. If you're on drugs - get off them. If you aren't - go get a doctor to prescribe you some.

                  Just fixed that for you. The only major intelligence agency that is following you around is Google and all they want to know is your demographics and shopping habits. You're just not that important.

                A few thoughts;

                1) You make me glad I don't live in Florida.

                2) If you actually get a handgun, I have a feeling we'll be hearing about you..and seeing your photo...pretty soon.

                3) If you are not pulling our leg, you need to seek help from a mental health professional.

                I'm not joking. You are seriously delusional. I'm not talking about "rabbits on Mars" delusional. I mean I think you may be a danger to yourself and others.

                You show very strong signs of Schizophrenia. Go to someone you trust, a policeman, a doctor...and tell them what you are thinking.

                And if this is all a joke, it's not a good one.

                Jesus, a few of the people offering you advice here should be able to tell you what the inside of a mental health facility looks like.

          Seriously dude, 2nd Amendment be damned. Someone as paranoid and delusional as you should never have access to anything more lethal than a water pistol. You are several accidents waiting to happen all at once.

          I say this as constructive criticism. "They" are not even remotely interested in you, and will never be until you start arming yourself to the teeth. Then you become a "person of interest" and it will not end well for you.

          Sure there's some serious shit going down (ie the corporate takeover of democracy), but a growing number of people are already aware of this and are doing something about it.

          The correction of these wrongs will not take place by a a violent upheaval, it will be done with ballots not bullets.

              I totally agree, and was aware of that when I posted. Delusional individuals rarely seek treatment on their own. And yes, if he believes this, then it's highly likely he see us as part of the "conspiracy". (More on this later.)

If this guy is for real, and he's serious about getting a gun, he needs to be medicated. Whether he likes it or not. Otherwise, as has been pointed out, his fairy tale will have a very unhappy ending.

              If he's faking it, he gets the Oscar.
              Agree again. In most, if not all states, the criteria for forced or involuntary psychiatric treatment are a clear and imminent danger to self or others, and a mental health diagnosis. I've had to put a lot of patients on involuntary holds over the years (which, of course, made me the "bad guy") - including "God", who was very angry at me for thwarting his mission. (He thought I was Satan because I was slender and dressed in black...)

All that's left is to crash and burn. You are powerless to do anything to help this individual and if you believe otherwise, than you are the one that is delusional.
              Whether or not someone can be "reached" depends partially upon where they're at on the continuum. Paranoid ideation is less severe than full-blown paranoid delusions. When it's closer to ideation, there's a much better chance of reaching the person (the ideation hasn't yet solidified into a firm belief). If this isn't a punk (another possibility), it may be that he reached out intentionally for some support - the title did say "I think..." (not "I know...")

              If he was only paranoid, I'd agree with this argument. However, the more prominent delusion (if he's truly delusional) is grandiosity, IMO. Posting this story feeds his grandiosity (and actually, so does his paranoia - i.e. these agents are interested in him because he's so important and has inside information, etc.). His post is his way of showing the rest of us (who aren't as intelligent, special, knowledgeable, aware, and so on) how important and special he is.

              In the zombie threads, his grandiosity was very evident. I didn't see him (there) as particularly paranoid - he seemed quite confident that he'd be able to protect himself in a zombie apocalypse. The rest of us, however, should be afraid.... The paranoia consistently takes a back seat to the grandiosity - even in this thread.

                Disorganized isn't the only signal. And there are other signaling factors that show him as young and not so out of touch. We're being pwned.

                All schizophrenia has some telltale signs in writing - just as there are for any other aspect. It often has nothing to do with "disorganization". Once they are at that point, nobody should have to be guessing about the mental condition. Everything shows up in writing if you analyze it. Even whether you are male or female can be discerned via writing. Language is instinctual - and writing isn't. A lot of stuff can get through even when someone is trying to hide something. One of the reasons NSA is so damned hot to get at your emails and social posts. You would not believe the info that they can gather from writing that doesn't even give a lot of personal detail right on the line.

                  Sal, my apologies for misunderstanding your point. Mental health professionals aren't trained in linguistics. We look at things from a clinical perspective, and in that regard, nothing in his writing automatically rules out schizophrenia.

                  As for being pwned, I've certainly not ruled out that possibility. As I said earlier, this may all just be narcissistic attention-seeking B.S.

                        Sure, this guy's as nutty as a Payday bar, but I don't see why you'd ignore him. From what I've seen, he mainly stays inside his own threads, at least in terms of spouting the kooky stuff. Just don't read any threads started by him.

                        Personally, I find this thread fascinating. Just not in a way the OP hopes.

                          I also find it fascinating, probably in the same way you do.

                          But I have an aversion to people that are severely delusional. After a while, they are no longer fascinating, just frustrating. It's no fun to play with people that are unaware that they are even in the game.

                          That's true about him staying in his own threads. But it's like driving by a car crash...I have to look. If he's on my Ignore list, I'm not as tempted.

                          I'm actually more interested in the replies I read from other Members. That's what's fascinating to me.

                            I've been listening to people say society is going to fall apart and the governments are corrupt or doomsday is around the corner from the time I was ten and Jehovah's Witnesses lived next door. The rumor that the world is going to fall apart showed up on the internet more than 20 years ago. Why are you tooting that old horn?

                            P.S. You do know that the people who were in the YouTube video you posted were actors and not actually on the Titanic when it sank?

                              Ever since recorded history, every few years, the Apocalypse has been predicted to occur. Someone always has insight that it's all going to end......in the next year. Some stupidly even put a specific day on their belief.

                              And after thousands of years of written history, the exact number of times, that they have been right, is precisely Zero.

                              Just a thought.

                        Only trouble with that idea, is he might have already done that, and so can't see what you are saying or a few others?


                        He hasn't appeared on this thread for a while, l hope that he hasn't bought a gun and done something silly?

      This isn't the only website where I've been posting this information. Basically, I believe the people who are in power are planning to intentionally collapse the world economy and depopulate the world to bring in a "New World Order". I'm 100% certain it's going to happen. If I'm right, the intelligence agencies may be worried that somebody is spreading confidential information to me. The fact that I'm one of the few people in this world who is capable of figuring out what's going on in the background makes me a potential target.

        I respect your opinion. Most people would agree with your assumption. But I think every person in this world is going to have a very rude awakening in the near future. Something very sinister is going on in the background, as we speak. The fact that I'm one of the few people who truly understands what our "leaders" are planning really makes me stand out from the rest of the crowd. I'm basically witnessing the biggest crime in human history.

    Greg,
    If I shared this information, the moderators would ban me forever.
    [splorf!]

    I've heard some real doozies in the way of alleged mod conspiracy theories, but this has to be the most ridiculous yet.

    So, you believe that an Australian-based company has hired Philippine mods and instructed them to assist in the perpetration of a US government-mandated information blackout against a guy who publicly admits he believes in zombies?

    You're either the most creative troll in years or you are in truly desperate need of forcible medication.

      Greg, I wondered if you were bordering on delusional with your persistent beliefs about an impending government-driven (or whatever powers-that-be) zombie apocalypse.

      But if you seriously believe the stuff you've posted in this thread, I am 99.9% convinced you are suffering from both paranoid and grandiose delusions. I don't say that lightly at all. I also realize that you can't talk someone out of his or her delusions. The very definition of a delusion includes the aspect that it's a firmly held belief.

      The scariest part about your post is that you're talking about getting a gun. And that will make you a danger to society. One of the most dangerous types of individuals is someone with a weapon and a combination of paranoid and grandiose delusions.

      Not only does it make you a danger to others, it may inadvertently put you in harm's way as well if you continue down the path you're headed. Getting a gun will greatly increase the risk of one of two scenarios occurring (neither of which will end well): 1) you shoot and injure or kill an innocent person (someone you believe has intent to "take you out") and end up behind bars for the rest of your life in an institution for the criminally insane, or 2) you end up in a standoff with the police, and again, institutionalized or dead from a gunshot wound.

      I fully realize there's the possibility that this is just narcissistic-attention-seeking BS, but if it's not, you need professional help. You have no business getting a gun (or stockpiling weapons for some zombie apocalypse in the near future).

      You've already said your family thinks you're insane. I suspect they are genuinely concerned about you - and for good reason.

      I've evaluated and /or treated many individuals like you over the years. One of the most common paranoid delusions involves being followed or spied upon by government agents. In fact, one of the last individuals I evaluated when I did psych consults in the ER had a similar story. I'll never forget the ER doc (who had just started his shift that morning) looking at me in exasperation. He said, "It will literally take me my entire shift to suture these wounds". Suffice it to say, the person had attempted suicide in a rather bizarre manner. Why? Because of the belief that government agents were chasing / targeting him/her due to "special information" the person had.

      In the vast majority of these cases, the diagnosis is paranoid schizophrenia. If I recall, you're in your late 20s. Males are most likely to have their first psychotic break in their very early to mid-twenties. But late 20s isn't at all unusual. Another possible diagnosis is delusional disorder. And of course, narcissism may be another diagnosis in the mix.

      For your sake, I truly hope you're just a guy who's highly gullible, egotistical, and really desperate for attention. In that case, I still recommend treatment in the form of therapy. Being annoying is generally harmless. Being psychotic and getting a gun is very serious - and very dangerous.

        Well said, Cali!

        I have had experiences with paranoid schizophrenics while in the medical field as well and I'd say this is pretty much "textbook schizophrenia".

        I hope he heeds your words. If not, well the possible climax of this all is quite frightening.

          It's absolutely classic paranoid schizophrenia, IMHO.

          It's alarming that he's buying guns.

          Society isn't great at dealing with these situations: it's often not possible/practical/legal for anyone to step in until after there's been a disaster. To some extent, that's inevitably part of the other side of the coin to freedom. (So "be careful what you wish for".)

            I can assure you, I am completely sane. The reason why I drew the conclusion that an intelligence agency "could be" following me around is because of some of the past run-ins I had with the law. Maybe I'm being a little arrogant, but I believe I fully understand how these people behave because I think a lot like they do. It's a world of "deception" which intrigues me.

            Originally Posted by Alexa Smith View Post

            Actually, I'm terrified of guns because I'm very clumsy. In my opinion, guns should only be used by civilians under the most extreme of circumstances. The rifle I own right now is still in the box next to several boxes of ammo. I don't plan on using it until the Zombie Apocalypse happens, which is probably very soon.

            I'm keeping a close eye on what's happening with Russia and the conflict in Ukraine because that will tell me when the world is about to fall apart. Most Americans don't understand the seriousness of this situation because they believe the United States is "unsinkable" like the Titanic, which is far from true.

            When the West imposes another round of sanctions against Russia, Russia is going to retaliate by pulling the plug on the U.S. dollar which could lead to hyperinflation in the United States. It may even cause an economic collapse. Shortly after the intentional economic collapse, the Zombie Apocalypse will begin which will be very devastating.

            What should be really alarming is the fact that I'm able to own a gun. Shortly before I turned 18, I was arrested on several Federal charges including "Counterfeiting Money". The U.S. Secret Service literally cleaned out my entire room in search of evidence and seized everything I was using in my counterfeiting operation, including my computer.

            For some unknown reason, these Federal charges aren't even on the books. Even the local police don't have a record of when I was arrested for these charges, despite the fact that they were read to me shortly after I was booked at the local station. I recall a man at the station telling me how serious these charges were which terrified me to the point of tears.

            The only charges local police know of are for 'Counterfeiting A Driver's License" and "Grand Theft Auto" which were later dismissed. They didn't have sufficient evidence to charge me for stealing the car. And the "Counterfeiting A Driver's License " charge was dismissed after I completed a diversion program which was meant for first-time juvenile offenders in the state of Florida. So basically, I have a clean record.

              Not sure I'd agree with that one.

              Hyperinflation in the US will certainly affect the rest of the world including Europe, of course. Russia and China cannot do very well, economically, if the rest of the world is in hyperinflation - if that actually happens. It's really not in the best interest of Russia or China. I don't think - don't really know for 100% sure because I'm just not that knowledgeable.

                Neither am I, but this certainly sounds completely right to me.

                (Those "sanctions" against Russia over the Ukraine business are already causing some real economic unease in Russia, by all accounts: I think Mr Putin is starting to realise that his national economy isn't as unrelated to his own situation and position as he perhaps liked to imagine.)

                  I think Mr. Putin is helping the globalists achieve their sinister agenda. Every supposedly "elected" leader is part of this scam. They're intentionally trying to collapse the world economy to bring in a "New World World". The globalists control all sides which allows them to play one country against another in a manner that seems "natural" to most people. But if you look really closely, with an open mind, you'll realize what's really going on in the background. It's all deception.

                  P.S. This has been going on for a very, very, very long time.

              Whoa, you really are crazy.

              I mean, my PhD is only in American economic history, but never once did I come across a theory or discourse that truly believes that Russia -- RUSSIA! -- is the fatal lynchpin of the American economic system.

              ... just, wow. Really. Could Putin do damage? It is debatable, at best. But economic collapse? You are either the world's best troll or America's next most wanted person. I can't decide.

      There are at least a million people out to spread info about some of the crap that is being pulled on people. I find it more than a joke that you are egotistical enough to think they even notice or care who you are. They don't care about much of anyone other than other what other people inside the power structures are doing. They don't care what we know because there's little left we can do about it. It's "intelligence" not "stupidity" and following some dude who's so insignificant that he's posting stuff on the Internet and so out of touch he's afraid of people in trenchcoats wouldn't do much but have them all around the computer laughing.

      Yes, l went to a new coffee shop recently, and a young, attractive girl, kept looking at me. That doesn't make her a secret agent, just interested.

      Sounds like this guy was probably considering whether or not to rob you than anything else! But not sure that a gun is the answer, just chance your jogging times, or go see if he has a record?


      True, l have posted the Mars thread for 4 years, and had diddly squat approach me. I also did a free energy post, and apart from one eloquent troll or sociopath, that was it!


      As others are saying, you need to stop reading so much into this, and go and bury all your conspiracy theory DVD's!

      There are clearly a few real conspiracy thoery's flying around, but l doubt that zombies are one of them?

      Unless mobile phone zombies, is what you are talking about, afraid we are stuck with those ones, but at least they don't bite peoples heads off!

    If he really is what he seems to be, the odds of that are extremely low. The only likely result of this discussion is that he'll conclude we're all in on the conspiracy, or just too stupid to see what he claims to see.

    I am absolutely opposed to forcing anyone to take medication for psychological conditions unless they pose a real physical danger to someone else. If this guy is for real, and he's serious about getting a gun, he needs to be medicated. Whether he likes it or not. Otherwise, as has been pointed out, his fairy tale will have a very unhappy ending.

      I was thinking this. He seems a bright chap, writes well so if it is a joke and there are people elsewhere having a good laugh over this then the reality is they all have issues and need to get out more.

      It could be he just didn't get the traction with the zombie thread and thought he'd up things by doing this.

      Sadly on the other hand, if this isn't a 'joke' or an act, it won't end well unless he does something about it.

        If it's not a troll, a joke, or just a truly diehard conspiracy theorist, then he needs professional help. Unfortunately, if that's the case, the person rarely seeks that out himself without a strong support system leading him in that direction.

        If his parents truly think he is insane, then they should be the ones attempting to get some help, particularly since he wants to get a gun.

        It would be in the best interest of all involved if you disengage from any attempt at trying to communicate anything in the way of assistance, concern or even bemusement with the OP. You are falling into a trap that in the end will be both unrewarding and extremely frustrating. This will only result in your future hesitancy to attempt to help anyone that you might actually be able to have a true, beneficial effect on. That won't happen in this instance.

        If he is paranoid-delusional, bordering on schizophrenic, then engaging him in anything resembling a rational discussion will do nothing but feed the beast that resides within and you are only contributing to a situation that is most likely in an already rapidly-accelerating, downward spiral. All that's left is to crash and burn. You are powerless to do anything to help this individual and if you believe otherwise, than you are the one that is delusional.

        For my money, you are being punk'd. No one actually suffering from the conditions that are on display would be making these kinds of posts, here or anywhere else. The fear associated with doing so would render the poster unwilling and unable to expose himself in such a public format. Fear reigns, supreme and the need for disseminating any information that might save you or the world, runs a distant second place.

        Honestly, even the writing of the tale is not that good and would get a 'C-' from any college freshman class creative writing professor. Plausibility in any work of non-fiction is a high factor in grading such a course. Personally, I'd go with a 'D.'

        Of course, no one will heed this advice as you are probably as starved for attention as the OP and simply can't control your own inner demons that need to be fed through either confrontation, agitation or an overwhelming feeling of self-righteousness and the fact that you believe you have the answers, the very thing that some of you are ridiculing the OP about. Too funny for words.

        Let it go, but if you can't - enjoy yourself as I'm sure the OP is doing, all the while laughing at you!

        Cheers. - Frank

          For the record that is the one thing keeping me from thinking there's something really wrong here. I wondered if it may have been one of several old trolls.

          Right there. That's what I'm seeing. I'm not even convinced this person is old enough to be in here if the rules on age are still intact. His writing indicates young - and there's no sign of schizo in his writing structure at all. None. Schizophrenics give themselves away when you put "a pen" in their hand. He's having fun.

            My writing style indicates what I'm reading at the time. After I finish reading a textbook, I write at a college level. People have a tendency to mimic the style of the books they read. At this moment, I'm not reading anything except for the posts on this forum which explains why I write like a teenager.

                This has been my feeling reading his posts. He is less inflammatory than most trolls, but I think he's really full of himself, considers himself to be of superior intelligence than the rest of us, and is an attention seeker.

      Yup. My brother was severely schizophrenic. No amount of logic helped. Everyone he knew just became part of the play he was running in his mind. It ended very badly.

      But if you seriously believe the stuff you've posted in this thread, I am 99.9% convinced you are suffering from both paranoid and grandiose delusions. I don't say that lightly at all. I also realize that you can't talk someone out of his or her delusions. The very definition of a delusion includes the aspect that it's a firmly held belief.
      I'm glad you are here.

      Being a "Paranoid schizophrenic" myself I would guess that's not the case with OP. I can tell you from experience that the "paranoid delusions" are accompanied with a great percentage of fear. That's not to say however that OP isn't suffering from some kind of delusional disorder.

    Greg,

    I worked for an intelligence agency for a few years. The first thing I learned was if someone from the agency is watching you - you would never know. They would never expose themselves and stand in trench coats in warm weather.

    I'm thinking you might want to see your doctor.

      It depends on the area and the behavioral patterns of the "target". If the area isn't densely populated and the person moves about in a very unusual manner, they're going to have a much harder time building up a profile on him. Most agents are probably trained to blend in with their environment like a chameleon which isn't possible in every case.

      When I was about 16, I knew a girl who was wanted on several felony charges. A few days prior to her arrest, a couple of detectives were following her around in an unmarked police car. Their vehicle was parked down the street from her house and seemed to blend in perfectly with the environment. I immediately spotted this vehicle because the tint was too dark. There are laws in Florida that limit how dark you can tint your vehicle windows.

      Unfortunately, like most people, she didn't believe my instincts because she was fairly certain that there was no evidence tying her to the crimes that she THOUGHT she got away with. She also didn't believe that a couple of detectives were in the vehicle I pointed out because it wasn't that obvious. A few days later, she was proven wrong when detectives showed up at her workplace with a nice warrant.

      According to academic standards, she was very bright girl (or woman). At that time, she was going to college to become a nurse and was a "straight A" student. But academic brilliance doesn't always translate well in a real-world environment.

    Here's a timely news story that shows why delusions such as this one and the desire to get a gun aren't very funny.

      I wouldn't be surprised if the FSU shooter believed he was "100% sane" and that others just weren't "getting the message".

      Very sad story with a tragic ending. Thank you for posting the link, Suzanne.
