The debate would be that what everyone considers suspicious will vary through the whole spectrum. Like Charles referred to above, which is what I was referring to also, if the guy got out and set up shop at the edge of the roof, with mat, scope, bobbing his head around trying to find his target and hiding behind other vehicles etc, then that is suspicious.
If he parked his vehicle and got out grabbed his rifle (cased/uncased) and then headed to the stairwell, I don't consider that suspicious.

Without further info from Austin, the parking garage could be to an apartment building / townhomes. He was going to his home.

Just for consensus, I just hope that we are all aware that most parking garages don't have a TYPICAL ROOF. Don't want anyone with the idea that this guy with laid out on the 30 degree pitch of shingles. What is commonly called the roof is the last level of parking space which is open air, and I suppose this is how this woman was able to watch this guy from a higher level.

Since when do we start closing down threads because others have different opinions???

This is the statement that ticks me off when it comes to the legality of an issue in society. Most of the time, it stems from the prejudiced profiling by some people in public and therefore the trampling of the civil rights of some repeatedly.
If there are guys with rifles/ shotguns on rack in their truck and dressed in camo, then some people just drool and say, "Aaaahhh, they must be heading out west to go hunting, I wonder what caliber that rifle is, hmmmm,must be 7.62, 30.06, NATO. I wish i could go."

But another set of guys come out a gun store/ apartment with rifle/guns, then the whole scenario changes. What are these "people" up to? There isn't any hunting land downtown?? Since when were deer running around Main Street. I'm calling 911 because they look suspicious and there is nothing wrong with a LEO asking him what he is up to.

In both cases everyone without personal scrutiny has a legal right to possess the firearms, but the response is different. Reason why IN MY OPINION is YOUR PERSONAL PREJUDICES. Swallow it however you like.
If people were judged by their actions in this society, then we would alot further along in life.

P.S. So did this woman who called 911 have any prejudices while she was looking down from a high rise to the top of a 5 story garage. Where she happened to see a man covered in all black armed with a rifle. Maybe or maybe not!!!!
But I know one thing and you can think for yourself. She remained on the phone with 911 until LEO arrived at the garage to investigate. I know she did not break eye contact with the suspect vehicle since she was not in danger. So this was an open and shut case, right??? Now look at the report again.

Police found a car on the top level and identified the owner, who they said was not the subject of the 911 call.

This is "Mr. Owner's" car, it couldn't have been him; let's keep searching for "the man covered in all black." I don't know about you guys, but I can decipher Japanese codes.
