You're far more likely to be killed by one of these assholes than you are an Al Qaeda operative any day of the week.

If I go into a bar and I see those types in that bar, even unarmed, I turn and leave to find a better bar. Every one of those men are looking for a fight. Every one of those men has a hair-trigger temper. Every one of those men is an asshole.

None of those men should have firearms, I guarantee.

Those guys do realize we can see them, right? They're walking down the middle of a grey street with red brick buildings. The green and tan are not very difficult to see! Well, that plus they're all so white they glow in the dark.

They want very badly to be scary. They want you to be scared of them, but they really, really want people of color to be scared of them. They wear camo because they think it's all military and stuff, and really scary to people. They carry guns because guns are scary. They wear all sorts of military-looking gear for the same reason.

The reality is that it's those assholes who are scared. They're scared of you and me and especially scared of people of color. They're scared to death, and scared people with guns are very, very dangerous.

Then I peer at the photos looking at the faces hoping to find I know of one that has not been outed, but most are not local.

They came and tried to intimidate and failed miserably. They provided the situation that killed a former coworker and ham radio friend's granddaughter. The next time they came, they came in secret and paraded their torches once again. In less than an hour they ran as fast as they could back to their buses as the town came out to confront them. Some fine people, my ass.

I remember a fellow took his daughter shopping in our local Penney's with an assault type rifle hung over his shoulder. I imagine he thought he looked tough but he actually looked pathetic and frightened.

I think it is a very appropriate name. tRump should be branded as a supporter of terrorism, and these assholes' race/holy war should be branded with the same term used by Islamic terrorists. IT'S THE SAME THING!
