7. He was a spectacle. I'm not sure he's vulnerable in this situation

I doubt anyone is going to walk up and slug him in that context. Take the signs away, and I'm not even sure if anyone is going to just hug some guy with his arms out with a blindfold on.

It's nice and sweet, but I don't know what it accomplishes. Put a couple Muslim men in ISIS garb on the same street, and is anyone hugging them? Even with a huge sign saying "everything is ok, don't worry" or whatever?
