But in reality I'd call 911.

I'd probably think, "must be another Republican high school field trip sponsored by the NRA again."
flvegan
(65,624 posts)18. First thought: "I'll take you out like a sniper on a roof
Like an MC at The Fever in the DJ booth"
Second thought: Someone's probably going to get shot. Since I can see the sniper, it's probably not me.

That's why they didn't do anything in Butler PA or Utah.
They were just white guys with guns so everything is ok.
If they were non white then they would have gone after them.
