The dude said to them, "Just chill. Rules are rules." And that's what set it off.
Thank you. They are looking at the guys, yelling at the guys, throwing the chairs at the guys.
It seemed obvious to me that those guys were the target.

Stereotypes exist for a reason. If someone made a thread that was titled "You can pry my guns from my cold dead hands!"
You would probably(and I would) visualize a largish probably bearded white guy who has a horde of ammo saved up and perhaps an American flag trucker cap on or something.

When I read the title of the thread I assumed who would be the major players as well. I was right. Just as Grovit was.
Now does that make us horrible people? We were right...
If a headline read CEO of Goldman-Sachs did something, would you envision the CEO as an overweight black woman or a tall swarthy white man in a 3 piece suit?
If a headline read teenagers shot and killed in brownsville texas would you envision a couple of white or black cheerleaders or some teens of Mexican descent?
So roll your eyes all you like but try not to get the sand in them...
Not being mean, its just that people refuse to see or acknowledge what is happening in the cities.
