no one gets antsy... don't allow yourself that conceit. people, such as myself, naturally object to being called scum. surely you can understand that. it's a surreal experience to put in 11-12 hours a day in uniform to come home and read that in your spare time.
being from the bay area probably increases your chances of finding like-minded persons on this issue. saying those things (or even the more vicious versions you hinted at) would probably get you tossed out of a bar in texas... if they were feeling charitable.
