Someone help me with what I saw

[LordLovesAWorkingMan]

I am working in a business park in suburban Minneapolis this week, and I saw something that gave me the shivers.
I was getting out of my rental car when I saw a black Tahoe with completely blacked-out windows drive by. It had
a W sticker on the back bumper, and it pulled into the lot about 150 years in fromt of me. Then, four large men in
white polo shirts and dark pants got out, and it looked like three of them had guns in holsters. They all had short
hair. Frankly, they looked like a death squad.

One of them looked at me, shook his head, and got a gun case out of the back of the Tahoe. Then they all went into the
building, and they looked like they were doing it cautiously.

Anyone ever seen anything like this?

Dozens arrested in distribution of African stimulant

DAVID B. CARUSO
Associated Press

NEW YORK -

Federal agents say they have broken up a smuggling ring responsible for most U.S. distribution
of a leafy stimulant called khat, which is illegal here but commonly used in East Africa and
parts of the Arabian peninsula.

Prosecutors announced the indictment of 44 people in New York on Wednesday on charges that
they helped bring 25 tons of the plant into the U.S. in recent years.

---->>> Fourteen men were arrested in the Minneapolis area.

All but 14 of the suspects were under arrest after a series of sweeps in several states.
Some 5 tons of the drug, worth $2 million, have been seized by agents during
the 18-month investigation, authorities said.

Six people considered midlevel distributors or transporters were arrested in Columbus, Ohio,
and were to be extradited to New York, said Fred Alverson,
a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Columbus.

Simultaneously, a federal grand jury in Seattle indicted 18 more people on khat importing
charges. Fourteen were under arrest.
The six-month spin-off of the New York probe led to the seizure of 1,000 pounds of khat.

The U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, Michael Garcia, said the cases signal that law
enforcement agents are taking the drug seriously, even if it remains unknown to most Americans.

[Island Blue]

15. 150 years?

That's a long way away from where you were standing. It's amazing you could see that far. This is HUGH!!!111!!

I was getting out of my rental car when I saw a black Tahoe with completely blacked-out windows drive by. It had a W sticker on the back bumper, and it pulled into the lot about 150 years in fromt of me.

So would that be 150 years in the future? God I hope not.
