We are suppose to keep out of sight for our safety's sake. Yea.. right. But also, perhaps they think only the magats are armed and can take care of themselves? Do they not realize that WE are armed, as well? And, while we don't pull out our pistols and wave them around every opportunity we get, those of us who roll with them, have them close at hand. I think they're allowing themselves to believe their own lies -- that all non-magats, democrats, are dirty fu*king hippies who are all peace love and get along together. We won't protect ourselves, let alone others, when it comes down to it.
These people may want to "wake" from their sleepy old school beliefs. Even the most peaceful can only stay silent for so long.
