Like an MC at The Fever in the DJ booth"

Second thought: Someone's probably going to get shot. Since I can see the sniper, it's probably not me.

That's why they didn't do anything in Butler PA or Utah.

They were just white guys with guns so everything is ok.

If they were non white then they would have gone after them.
