There were guys in Colonial uniforms.
Around here we have folks that wear clothing common in the 18th century (Amish), others that wear Confederate grey or Union blues (Gettysburg reenactors), folks wearing WWII kit (Battle of the Bulge reenactors around Anneville). That isn't even touching on the Ren Faire types wearing all kinds of interesting stuff including large sharp or pointy objects.
You'd need to wear something a lot weirder than Colonial uniforms to raise an eye around here.
Sounds like alot of what Bush's people said after Sept 11th....
Very true, but it seems a lot different this time.
Same attitude, different folks. This was exactly why I got angry with "Dissent is treason" type talk during the last administration. Plus the torture, wiretapping, etc programs. Not that I cared one fig about terrorists, but rather because I knew that eventually US citizens would eventually become the focus of such programs.
It's already started, and will continue to start. Folks in federal LEO organizations are starting to lean towards returning vets being more dangerous than the folks the vets were fighting. It's starting to leak that the NSA went further than allowed by the FISA amendments in wiretapping US citizens. It's not that bad at the moment. Hopefully it's a really long time before it does get that bad. But the tide is turning. Every single last project, program or technology developed to be used against "terrorism" will end up in some fashion being used against US citizens.
