Re: I dont want to be a downer but Scary...

What do they mean by Make an escape route this weekend? I was watching the nnews and that is what they siad for the tri state area. We are high alert and they say be prepared. How do us little people be preapred for this. Please let me know if you are as scared as I am or if you just think its all talk. PLease I need to know that I am not paranoid. Or maybe I am and that would at this point make me feel better that I am just watching the news to much. What is you opinion. I am really nervous about this. Not just for me but my family your familys, my baby girl and every one that I know and love.

I haven't seen the new on TV today, but did read CNN and other news online. I'm not sure what they mean by that. I know it's really scary. You just need to be with your loved ones and try to stay calm. I felt scared today to when I heard the threat level going up. But, we have to put faith into our leaders and law enforcement and otherwise just be aware of our surroundings. I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say to make you feel better, I wish I did....

Channel 5 afterr the mayor did his speach. The news ancher siad that 'the mayor siad to go about your business' the the anchor said ' then on another note to talk to your family about an escape route'. I swear i am not crazy about this. If i was I wouldnt be typing this.

Re: I dont want to be a downer but Scary...

Please do not let CNN/MSNBC/FOX get to you like this. It's just ridiculous. Those friggin channels..it's sensationalism at it's very best.

I need you to realize something, there are 9 million people in NY, 3000 were killed on 9/11...the larger amount of damage was done psychologically, which is EXACTLY the purpose of terrorism. I am not discounting the horror of that day and 3000 is 3000 to many. Please be assured that everything is being done that can be done to protect us. You can do your part by keeping your eyes open, and DO NOT let these people ruin your way of life.

Edited to add: I HATE THE NEWS. I swear I don't watch it for this reason, especially Fox. They have *******s for writers!

Re: I dont want to be a downer but Scary...

I agree with Mistyeyed. These news channels thrive on stories like this. Well I have to much wedding planning to do so I am going about my business this weekend.

Perfectly said Mistyeyed!! The media will do anything they can to keep you watching the news, buying the paper and 'staying tuned'. I personally don't understand this escape route crap anyway. Where am I going to escape to? New Jersey? Are they kidding?

My dh works in the intelligence division of the NYPD. I told him about what's been on the news and how nervous people are becoming, and he said that it's just a bunch a hype, and that New York State has just moved up to the same alert level that New York City has been on since 9/11.
It's nothing to get upset about.
Please don't worry!!

Re: I dont want to be a downer but Scary...

don't worry---you can't control those b a s t a r d s anyway--they said there are no specific threats --they basically publicize this stuff to let these moron a$$es know that we are on to them--which IMO makes ZERO sense-since you are not dealing with rational people here--they believe it is a good thing to die for their cause-so what they care????
