That sure looked like an attempt to bait someone into doing something. But this was in Atlanta so it was a relatively low risk move. There is no place in America more "Yankeefied" than Atlanta, even though geographically its in the South. Those "soldiers" knew that it was a relatively low risk move and rightly expected no trouble from the Yuppies out enjoying the 4th.
Question is, who is on the other end of the fishing rod?
That's fairly true. I worked in and around the area for a few years, a few years ago. Fairly bizarre area, as far as viewpoints go. However, I wouldn't dismiss these folks as trifling, they've got a serious axe to grind. There are areas surrounding Atlanta that are so racist, that I felt uncomfortable.... And I'm a cracker from SC.
