They are going to think...I don't know. Here are some options, "That looks like a kid I know," or "His tattoo is like the state motto." ...''ANTI-GOVT. GROUP w/
GUN-TOTING, WHITE-SUPREMICIST, SKIN-HEAD NAZI FANATICS
that's probably more in line w/ what the average joe is going to think
the ar-15, kilt wearing dude would have been icing on the red-flag cake....
i don't have anything against any of these people.
i don't know them.
maybe they're really cool.
the point of this thread, is the first impression a fledgling organization should be trying to convey, prob. wouldn't be a nazi/skin-head-lookin' dude attached to the article.
maybe one of the event leaders would ''steer'' the reporter to certain individuals......
maybe that happened, and maybe the reporter wanted to show a ''fringe'' character, like our poster-boy here....
all good questions....
i'm just sayin', is all................
I guess you just don't get a lot of the NH culture or many of the people that are attracted to it. NH has a gun and motorcycle culture. Other popular events in NH include Nascar and the Highland games. Hunting? Fishing? NH is huge when it comes to those things. Rock climbing and extreme hiking? NH is known for those.
Keep in mind that NH defeated the British before the other states even declared independence. There is a reason why NH is one of 3 states with the least restrictive motorcycle helmet laws in the nation, it tied for least restrictive auto insurance laws, doesn't have an income or sales tax, doesn't have seat belt laws for adults, has just about the best gun laws in the US, just about the least amount of cops, has the highest pot use among twenty-somethings in the US, sells the most alcohol and has the cheapest liquor in the US. The culture here is measurably different than most of the US, certainly different than anywhere else east of the MS River.
You must not have been brought up in NH or know a lot of people from NH. Hell, even go to south Boston and look at how the Irish kids dress, short hair has been very popular for a long time. Tattoos are very common. Wake up to this culture man and set yourself free.
