MangoIVPlease be honest + boost welcome.
If you enter a train station and it’s guarded by policemen with heavy weaponry (machine gun) and military outfits, how does that make you feel?
Secure
Intimidated
I don’t care

Linebyline→mastoart.social@mangoiv American here. "Train Station"? You mean that thing from the Narnia books? Weird hypothetical, but OK. ;)
Either way, I'm not going anywhere near *anyone* open carrying machine guns. That it's people in authority doesn't make it less scary, just different scary. Maybe more scary, depending on circumstances.
