Didn't realize we had so many bad asses here. Most of you would just have a stubborn laundry stain and not much else.

hypothetically, i would get the Feds on his tail, so they could track him, find his cell, and get em all.

Odds are whoever I saw in the grocery store isn't bin laden but just some guy with a long beard. The odds of Bin Laden being anywhere in the us are slim to none.
On the other hand should I actually see someone who I was sure beyond a doubt was a terrorist I would call the police and tail them until the police showed up. (Provided the police actually believed me) To try and kill the terrorist will result in a gunfight around innocent people. Sure you may get the terrorist but in the process of the terrorist trying to get you, he mows down some little kid who's only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Most people don't have a lifetime of experience with a gun, and trying to kill someone who not only doesn't want to be killed, but now wants to kill you. Odds are just as good as you ending up dead, and not the terrorist.
I would definitley be leaving this to people who have experience in this.

I'm assuming you know for a fact that it is bin laden? It would be really embarrassing if you beat the crap out of some guy, called the feds, only to find out it's some guy named din laben.

Here's the thing, if you attack bin laden, then you might as sign a death warrant for yourself. If you were the guy that attacked bin laden, your name would be all over the news. That means every terrorist in the world would want a piece of you and your family.

Now if it was a life and death situation anyways (plane is getting hijacked), then I might as well tackle him and try to get a shot at the family jewels. If he had a knife, I'd rush him with a pillow in one hand, hold my other arm out to block his stab, and try to kick him in the balls. If he still tried to get up after that, I'd probably try to snap his neck. He looks pretty skinny, so I'm assuming I can overpower him. But he's tall, so that means he has good reach.

really a stupid question but if i just "happened" to run into him in a 7-11 or something and i knew he was without a doubt osama bin hidin' and he was hangin around waiting for his hotdogs or microwave burrito, i would crack him over the head from his blindside with the nearest blunt object and then proceed to kick the sh!t out of him and i wouldn't stop until i knew he was either unconscious or dead.

i mean wtf, from your description, he's not expecting anything so i'd have a real good chance of cold-cocking the f'er. i'd assume he'd be packing but i'd have surprise on my side and i'd do it in a heartbeat. of course i would also be sure that he didn't have any of his buddies hangin out getting a slurpee either. him alone? sure i'd take a crack at his skull.
