Video Store Clerk Hero

There were developments overnight in the Fort Dix terror case. U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie (editor's note: what an unfortunate name) credits an unnamed video store clerk with breaking the case for them, the FBI calling him an "unsung hero". One of the suspects brought the clerk a video tape he wanted transferred to DVD. It contained videos of 10 men shooting weapons and calling for jihad. The video store clerk tipped off the FBI, initiating the investigation.

This goes to show that the average citizen can help the authorities keep us safe. This does not mean that you need to be a racist and be suspicious of every brown person you see. This means you keep your eyes open and if you see something that is obviously wrong, ask about it. Make sure you know what's going on in your community.
