How to freak out your neighbors

| December 2, 2011

Yeah, just go out and run around your neighborhood in a pro mask and body armor…then stuff a package in a post box. That ought to do it. Long Hoang of San Jose, CA did just that;

It could touch off what happened Tuesday at the busy San Jose post office on Lundy Avenue: a full-scale police response, complete with the bomb squad and a robot.

But San Jose police said the suspicious-looking jogger seen fidgeting with a package at a drop-off box was only working out in hard-core, albeit odd-looking, exercise gear.

“The guy said he was wearing a cardio mask,” said Sgt. Jason Dwyer. “It was his cardio day, and he was trying to lose weight.”

Well, it is nice to know that people are paying attention and willing to call the authorities.

Um… That guy looks like he is getting ready for a paintball bondage expo…

And what the hell is a cardio mask?

I wonder if he was wearing Vibram FF shoes…

The military mindset can be a weird thing sometimes.

I once ran the bleachers at my high school daughters school, while wearing a ruck sack and a pro-mask. I just wanted to see how badly is sucked.

And sucked it did.

The police weren’t called, though the football coach and the varsity linemen did stop me and ask just what in the hell I was up too.

Since then I’ve had the police called on me for rucking (suspected transient), answering my door (to a door to door salesman) while wearing an IBA and holding an airsoft M4 (in my defense I was practicing magazine changes), and for wearing a beanie that says “I (heart) Iraq” in Arabic to Starbucks (ok so I was also wearing a black fleece and multicam pants as I was on my way to a tactical shooting course at the range).

But I’ve got nothing on this guy. A promask and body armor to the post office? I don’t think that would make sense even on post.

Guys, thats not body armor… thats a weight vest, just how inattentive do you have to be to confuse the two?

Ken

Thats the exact same weighted vest I got. Amazon does not seem to carry it any more though?

Great tool for building up stamina and strengthening the legs though when done in moderation. Helped me out a lot for a job in the mountains I did.

I just think it is funny how some police departments have to justify their existence.

Chockblock

After the DoD and the DHS give away rifles, vehicles et al. Every Barney Fife has to justify the spending money.

That said, this guys is just an attention whore. Serious people train then /change/ into street clothes when they need to get things done.

They’re called training masks. The widely used by MMA fighters in training for upping their cardio endurance. Here is a link:
