The ones that are taking down the disrupters are wearing orange.

What's up with that?

Any kind of psyching out of your mind they can do, they will do.

3. What kind of jacket?
Are there any people wearing "deer hunter" vests with the entourage?

I mean the kind of vest that is tan canvas on one side, bright orange on the other, and can be worn reversibly.

If so, I'll share my theory...

8. Kind of shiny, with long sleeves
like a baseball warm-up jacket, with a knitted collar edge(?).

13. I want to see a close up
One had an orange long sleeve sweatshirt on under a teeshirt and the other one was an older white haired man with an orange jacket on.

I am not joking but I think that they had some type of insignia on them.

Wouldn't it be funny if they have arm bands on?

18. In 2000, I noticed federal agents wearing deer hunting orange vests
In Seattle on New Year's Eve 2000, we had a ton of federal police in town to save us from Ahmed Ressam. There were Huey's hovering over Elliot Bay, and all kinds of whacked things to observe.

One thing I observed was that all the plain-clothes cops had on deer hunter vests, with the brown side out.

At one point, some weird gangsta altercation happened near a homeless man with a cane. He observed the goings on, and was wearing a brown-on-the-outside deer hunter vest. The gangsta people left before the police arrived. Once they left, while the police were still on the way, the scene at that time being safer, the homeless man reversed his jacket so it was orange-side-out.

When the police showed up, they walked directly to that homeless man, interviewed him, then left. The homeless man departed in the Chevy Caprice taxi cab that coincidentally arrived with the police. I guess he had cab fare from all his begging.

22. The person you saw was also supposedly homeless?
Is that what you mean?

Did he have a cane, walking stick, or anything like a collapsable baton?

7. I don't think that they are paid security I think that they are "crazies"
They have signs in their hands and they are part of the crowd.

17. Matching arm bands?
That should be part of the fashion so that it will add that magic touch.
