Would you alert someone ?

Would you alert someone if you publicly saw a person wearing a Wrath or Natural selection shirt I’d be really curious to hear your thoughts on it: if you saw someone in (exact) replicas of either shirt in public, what actions would you take?

Just the shirts, probably nothing. I’m not the type of person to get involved in stuff. I would probably leave the area though. Now, if the person was wearing a trench coat too, and looked like they had guns hidden under it....well, first I would get the hell out of there and then maybe call the cops from my car. Of course, the cops would think I’m nuts. What would I say? “Hello. I’m at the mall and there’s some dude dressed like a  Columbine kid. He looks suspicious.”

What? It's their right to do that. Wearing a short, edgy expression on a shirt wouldn't raise any alarms unless the person was acting suspicious and/or clearly hiding weapons.

Are you thinking of having a Natural Selection tee made? Most normies wouldn't get the Columbine reference, since it happened 20 years ago. My only concern would be if the boys would want someone "ripping off" their shirts. Maybe they will haunt you. O_O

I saw a girl wearing a Wrath t-shirt in town one day. 

I would liked to have said something, but I have a nervous stammer, so it would've been incoherent.

I wouldn't tell anyone, but I'd immediately go for the ketchup packets

I have a natural selection shirt...

I wouldn't say anything, like NSAhoneypot said, they have the right to do that. In fact, I own several edgy T shirts myself.

Same, if they were holding guns, it would probably be a different story. Usually the shooters aren't the ones wearing edgy T shirts

What about trenchcoats

Are they wearing the trenchcoats, in addition to the shirts? Is it 90 degrees outside? Are the trenchcoats bulging out in weird places? (Dylan: I look fat.) Are they angry looking? All that would matter. It would all have to be taken in context. Honestly, in my area, I doubt anyone would even notice the T-shirt. Just the Tumblr girls, and me, of course!

Probably not, at least not for the shirt only. This person would have to be extremely suspicious for me to alert someone. I am aware this is totally irresponsible but I am too shy and unconfident even to alert someone when I see an unattended luggage in a train station or the metro. I always expect someone else to talk about it to the staff.

Not for the shirts alone, I knew a girl in college who wore the Natural Selection shirt, when I asked her why would she want to wear that in public she was confused by my reaction. Apparently she was a biology major or something along those lines and was currently studying genes of an endangered species. She thought that’s what the shirt was referring to and was excited to find “ a science” shirt HA

The shirts could make for an interesting conversation starter!

I love that!!

Have you ever seen the “Bliss” t-shirts? Instead of “Wrath” it’s bliss.

I have a band t-shirt featuring a VERY graphic photo of the body of the former vocalist, so I guess not. Still haven't worn mine in public, and I doubt I ever will haha.

Antarath is it that Euronymous guy?

Euronymous took the photo. He was murdered himself 2 years after. Mayhem - "Dawn of the black hearts"

The early Norwegian black metal scene was fucking insane, I just recently got into it. May Dead rest in peace.

I would just give the person a weird look probably

Yeah. I especially remember 1992-93. So much happened those years. 50+ church arsons, several murders, ritualistic suicides, cases of torture. Bård "Faust" Eithun in Emperor only got 9 years for stabbing a homosexual to death with a pocket knife in 92. Ironically, he's a security guard at the norwegian Inferno Festival. I recommend the documentaries Until The Light Takes Us and True Norwegian Black Metal.

I would be compelled to ask if they knew why they were wearing that shirt. What did it mean to them?

I see many young girls wearing T-shirts with things written on them so I would not be surprized if a 15 years old girl would wear it without knowing about E&D. If they were in France they might not even understand the word "wrath" and still wear it.

They'd go unnoticed.

Wow - You're right! Those shirts don't look out of place at all amongst all the other message shirts.I think most people wouldn't even notice.

P.S. - I really HATE the "Future Trophy Wife" shirt. Blech!
