I am native to rural America, and if they tried this in my town, someone would've shot their windows out to boot.

God bless America, despite these terrifying Idiots.

I sang America the Beautiful at my local Veteran's Memorial last week (thanks, btw, for your beautiful statement of tribute):

America, America, God mend thine every flaw--
Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.

And if law is hampered, yay we still have right thinking Hell's Angels. :)
