We're the Only Ones Who Fit You to a "T" Enough

A Belleville Police officer arrested a St. Charles man for wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word "POLICE."

..."Those t-shirts are a sign of solidarity," said Howard A. Shalowitz, an attorney representing Weinstein. "How many people wear NYPD caps? Are they impersonating police?" [More]
See, if you want to show "solidarity," it's important that you wear the right shirt.

I wonder if a t-shirt emblazoned with the words "ONLY ONES" would sell?

Wow--that's right in my neck of the woods.

Luckily for me, showing "solidarity" with "Only Ones" isn't an ambition of mine.

I suppose Stewart Copeland had better be careful if he visits Belleville.

Yup.

Though how about "We're the ONLY ONES who fear the 3%ers enough"?

if it was the exact same lettering/font as the police and fbi ones, black with white text, i would definitely buy a t-shirt that said "only one".

It says in the article the guy is a fireman, what did he expect wearing the colors of a gang when he's not a member?

LAW ENFORCEMENT DEFINITION OF A GANG:
A street gang is a structured, cohesive group of individuals, usually between the ages of eleven and twenty-five, who generally operate under some form of leadership while claiming a territory or turf. Gang members wear distinctive clothing, use special street names and symbols, and commit organized and spontaneous criminal acts within the community.

The guy could have just been a fan of their music.

I'll buy an 'Only Ones' shirt.

He should have started singing "Roxanne" and stated that he was with the band.

Parasite and Police both start with a "P". Frankly, I'm too proud to wear a shirt that would public state I'm a bottom feeder.

I carry a chair everywhere--as a sign of solidarity.
