I dropped into a Subway sandwich place last night, and there were 2 middle aged, heavily tattooed skin heads that came in later. Tight black T-shirt’s and black short pants. Each had a long pistol holstered around the waist. Their truck parked outside was black with huge American flags in the bed. The truck was festooned with trump and Martha McSally posters.
