Bomb Threat--What do you do?

Clearly the answer for most shoppers on the Promenade is to gawk at the store and take pictures with the cops.

Today one of the stores on the Promenade found a large suspicious package. Cops were called, bomb squad was brought in, helicopters flying everywhere....we (4 doors down) were told last. Nice. As soon as we heard, we packed up our stuff and got the heck out of the store and Santa Monica.

As we were leaving, we saw stupid people everywhere!! People were arguing with cops because they couldn't shop in the section blocked off with "CAUTION" tape, people were standing/sitting around watching the store as if they were waiting to see the bomb go off, and some were actually taking pictures with cops. It's not a Hollywood set!! When someone says "Bomb," you get your stuff and you go!

Sometimes this place scares me.
