Not sure how to interpret this. I am a WSJ kind of guy, but am I the only one that detects a tiny bit of east coast elitist arrogance in this article, perhaps something along the lines of "once they get rid of the cammo and grind off the point, the obese rednecks swinging 10 inch knives aren't quite so scary.?" They say that there is no such thing as bad publicity, but I am not sure that I see how this is a totally positive account. Maybe I am just being nitpicky.
