Anyone Recognize These Guys?

The discussion on the good guy or bad guy topic of this thread is interesting.
Ask yourself this, if you are unarmed (it's hypothetical) and see each of these men coming towards you down the trail, does one make you more nervous than the other? I can honestly say that a shaggy looking guy with a sword is going to have the prejudice meter in me topping out like a thermometer in death valley in July at lunch time.
Now change/switch their attire and accessories up. I'm still more worried about the shaggy guy with the sword. Skin color doesn't bother me. Unbalanced behavior does grab my attention, and walking around the woods with a sword is not an action that I would mark down in the mentally "balanced" category.
Some prejudices are hard wired survival instinct. Labeling these prejudices as racism is inaccurate. 

Yeah and the other guy could be some highly trained special ops dude like Jason Bourne.  He looks harmless until your neck is snapped! Or he could be one of those homosexuals and you know what they will do to you if the catch you in the woods.  Deliverance...

Yeah. You're right. Could be.
However, I am referring to natural and instinctive evaluation of threat levels. If you go through life putting everyone on the same threat level then paranoia has likely set in.
There are people out there that plainly display that they are not to be trusted. This is where your instinctive prejudice pays off.
If even 1% of the "normal" looking people were actually psychopaths then I don't believe that society as we know it could function.

Are you saying the guys in the photo's are members here?

[Biggerhammer]

Some here have private property and deal with trespasser all the time. It takes a act of congress to get them charged. Some just yap about it.

This is an interesting read about learning to trust our instincts (and how not trusting them can have dire consequences)

Plus I would give him a wide birth going off the trail.

Now that the op has chimed in with more info,My point is well proven.Both breaking the law.Picture 1 clean cut short hair,well dressed. While the 2nd is what some have considered out of the norm.Both breaking the law.As for the guy walking in the city with rifle slung, no I dont think it should warrant any LEO interferance of his or her second unless a crime has or can be shown will soon happen for some reason.

I heard a story of a couple hunters stopped eating lunch on a deer hunt in back woods of Idaho.  They look up and about 20 yards away is two guys stalking them in pitch black with swords. The hunters raised there gun and said something like one more step u guys are dead. Never thought the story was real or gave any thought till now.....

Love this thread  funny part is how butt hurt some people get. It's obvious: Guy in woods with sword = bad guy 

[stevemiller]

Thats not the funny part  the funny part is the hypocrisy.  gun = bad (no) sword does though.(no)They were apparantly trespassing,both of them.what if the guy with the machete was just looking to cut some roasting sticks to cook some hot dogs,Build a blind,whatever.How many on here own a sog kit with a machete,or have a bear grylls machete?Whats bad about it?b     Hey watch out for your shadow  quiet i just heard something  WHAT WAS THAT? 

[Skyvalhunter]

Machette on thing but a sword is another wrinkle to the story possibly.
