I think there's a house not to terribly far from here with a stiffy in the crawlspace. (I hasten to add, via natural causes) The family needs the SS check and none of the locals here want's to effup them doing what they gotta do.
I think that's the point, though. It would probably not have been suspicious to that man if they had been a group of white women coming in and out of that apartment all the time. It was the fact that it was Arab men that caught his attention and made him feel uneasy. This does seem extremely racist, which is why he did not report it to police. But then the problem is of course that 14 people are now dead and the shooters were the folks living in the house where the man saw what seemed suspicious to him.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
