They have been around a long time and we have all heard about them wasting their time getting ready, ranting in some cases, maybe making a compound but generally keeping to themselves. They might have a weekend get-together with like-minded folks to do a little AK shooting, running some quasi military operations and talking about all the people of color threatening them---probably include liberals.
Nothing else to do, I guess, and maybe they are stimulating part to of the economy by securing survival kits, purchasing expensive fire arms, procuring night vision equipment and maybe if they are lucky scoring a used Hummer that could be used to round up hippies.
These dudes are out there and really no one pays them much mind. For the most part, they seem normal. I did think it was a touch odd that I was able to easily sell thousands of rounds of AK ammo that I inherited---right here in Amherst. All legal, all up front.
Well, in the last few months we have this new sign welcoming folks to out town. Fortunately, it got defaced after a couple of months. This at least shows there is at least one person who is not afraid to make a counter statement. It is also sad that the same billboard writer also supports our new right-wing governor. I suspect this is no coincidence. It all just tells us where we stand in this world, who is out there and maybe also tells us something about what human behavior might be like if we had some real hard times.
