One time this gang made me put on these huge platform shoes and dance on top of a table to Tequilla. Then I started to really get into and started throwing bottles and glasses and stuff. By the time it was over I had so won them over they gave me a free shovelhead and sent me on my way.

they hype their own image - don't for a second tell me they are trying to get people to think of them as 'warm+fuzzy' ... they aren't victims of anything - if people are intimidated when they are around, they are getting exactly what they want

I've seen one guy get sorta "hassled" in a bar down next to HA Minneapolis HQ, he was wearing something resembling club colors but looked like internet fakery. Basically he was told that wearing that might get him in trouble. So, in reality, no big thing.

Some of them I'm sure do.....but.....

apparently I intimidate some people...and have been told as much on many occasions....to the point that some people won't even say hello to me.

now....

I find that funny as hell and just a little sad.....people who know me say I can be....but once people get to know me I'm one of the nicest guys around that never causes any trouble to anyone.

and I'm sure the same could be said for most of the 1%ers as well.

in fact....some of the most intimidating guys I've ever seen have been LEOs.

I asked a cop for directions once when my OL and I were walking downtown Victoria..I was polite as hell...and all he did was look at me from head to toe...stare at me for about 5 to 10 seconds......then just pointed down the street and said "that way"

what an ***..
