Uh, no.
None of them were *ever* looking for white dudes or white vans.
We were looking for something that would “stick out” like crazy up here in the mountains.
Several places less than 20 minutes away were ‘targets’ on the laptop they had.
Boy, did they ever pick spectacularly stupid places to ‘hit’.
The funniest one was a gas station near the state prison/police barracks/national guard armory where armed cops and reservists hang out all the time.
Oh well.
What might have been.
You’re right... he “blended” in here. Sounds like he would have stuck out like a sore thumb in your parts. Sigh..... coulda, woulda, shoulda.
