Anyone know about this? The video is a bit fishy, might be staged, but is what she is describing a known M.O. for abductions of this sort? https://x.com/Skriptkeeper17/s.../1891634776408207764 | ||

How could they target a specific person this way? Presumably they would have to prep before the target arrived; they would have to know which pump the target would use. Unless they just want anybody - whoever arrives, doesn’t matter who? "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

Yes, this is why I asked. Remember the urban legend about gang initiations? If you see a car driving at night with its headlights off, don't flash your lights at it, otherwise you might get shot. | |||

My kid tells me of another warning. When traveling as a tourist, locals would give women bracelets or anklets. Seemingly as a gift. However, it is a way to "mark" the ladies to be targeted. | |||

 I am unaware of any dermally absorbed chemical capable of rapidly inducting reversible unconsciousness at a concentration you might get from the brief exposure of touching a tainted tissue. If there were, it would be listed on the Schedules of Chemicals under the Chemical Warfare Convention if not outright banned by the FDA or the EPA.

Never heard of this, but it does at least hopefully get people to pay attention and keep their head on a swivel. If I pulled up to a pump and saw tissue paper on it, I would go to another. It could be what this video was about, a snot filled tissue as a stupid prank, or just someone used tissue paper to prevent germs while pumping as I did when COVID first came out. Who knows, but better safe than sorry. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

. What kind of CIA or KGB invented substance can make a person black out following a 2 second touch when removing the tissue from the pump's handle??? . | |||

Utter bullshit. Even beyond the blatant absurdity of these types of social medial rumor mill claims (gas pumps coated with instant knockout drugs?!), the reality is that this is simply not how human trafficking works. Women aren't getting kidnapped from the grocery store/gas station/whatever, drugged, thrown into white panel vans, and sold off into prostitution. This isn't Taken. You aren't Liam Neeson. Rather, emotionally/mentally/physically vulnerable people get manipulated and coerced over a long periods of time into being prostitutes by people they know and meet, a process referred to as "grooming". This is firmly in the same category as the "Don't flash your headlights or you'll get shot by gang members" type of hysterical nonsense that has been making the rounds of chain letters, listserv, forums, and social media for decades. It's just the 2025 version. | |||

You need a particular set of skills. Like blaming the gun for the crime, not the criminal while demanding America eliminate the Second Amendment, while at the same time making millions playing characters using firearms illegally (e.g., theft of firearms, possession in foreign countries, malicious wounding, serial mass killings, kidnapping all just in a single film, Taken) in multiple movies.

She's a fuckin moron who likes to scare people. I see so many "Warning!" posts & videos. For some reason my mother likes sending me this crap. If you see a penny heads up by your car door If there's a flower near the right rear bumper Straight bullshit. Some people can find a conspiracy theory / fear mongering anywhere. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

I watched a video (5 years ago now) That claimed that Wal Mart and Targets are like portals ,where people just disappear. Mostly Women . It showed stalkers inside and out of the stores on cell phones talking to drivers in or near the parking lots. The WalMart knows how many get grabbed but won't disclose or acknowledge this. Coincidentally , a week later in November, Quad City area law enforcement were on local news telling shoppers to go in threes ,not by themselves . For the same reason Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

I'm also calling BS. I can't think of something generally obtainable that can knock someone out shortly after touching a tissue soaked/dusted with it. If it was fentanyl, that would likely be enough to kill you. The tissue was either staged of some germaphobe was too lazy to throw it away after pumping. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

Agreed. This seems like the sort of urban legend that gets passed around. Also, have we heard of any such actual events in the news? I have not, and that is the sort of story that the news would run night and day. Stranger abductions in the U.S. are quite rare. Who needs the risk, when there are plenty of aspiring immigrants and runaways to press into prostitution who are much less risky targets? The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Being from Chicago, this "rumor" has not been disproven. Flash your headlights, dont flash your headlights, waive, don't waive, beep, don't beep, sneeze, don't sneeze... Damn near anything will get you shot by Gang Members here.  ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.
