Of course it's possible that the shirt could be interpreted in different ways. The woman who called the police perceived a threat. She saw something suspicious, she asked the police to check it out. That's what people are supposed to do. The school buses in our area now have "SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING" posted on them.
Exactly.
If you see a couple black teens walking through Walmart (or sitting at Starbucks)-call the police. They may be getting ready to rob the place.
If you see a chick in a burka walking down the sidewalk-call the police. She might have a bomb strapped to her chest.
If you see someone driving down the street in a truck-call the police. They might be preparing to run over a crowd of people on the sidewalk.
After all, if you see something, say something. Right?

So you are advocating profiling?
LOL seriously I get your point and it's valid. Unfortunately many consider that profiling.
For example if I look out my window and see a group of teens I dont know, walking up and down my street. Say the teens are black for example. How many on the left would call me a racist for calling the police?
What if I saw a couple of hispanics doing a roof and I called ICE? Yeah I would be called a racist.
The fact of the matter is that it is far more likely that the teens in scenario 1 are thugs and that the hispanics are here illegally, than it is that a guy doing an open carry is dangerous.
People are being programed to panic.
I dont carry anywhere except at the gun range and that range is on my own property. I have many friends who do carry. America is turning into a nation of criers.
