On the map, they actually defended it pointing out that the symbols were not cross-hairs (as anyone who has used a real gun, or even played a good shooter video game would know), but standard map surveyor symbols, used to mark locations.

Also, they weren’t “hovering over districts”, they were set on the 2-dimensional map. The use of “3-d” imagery was meant to add to the illusion that it was a gun site targeting the state.

I’ve been wondering this this charge was made — what symbol are we EXPECTED to use to indicate locations on a map? At my work, the evacuation maps have a “you are here” with a big red X; but certainly an X over a district would suggest you were trying to “X” them out, i.e. kill them. What mark on a map wouldn’t be considered “targeting” (how would you say “targeting” without using the word?)

1)Popping smoke on thier location?

2)Calling in 4 digit coordinates?

3)calling in a willie pete for mark?

4)Inside the ten ring?

Pin pointing, but then pins can be dangerous too.
