The drive by protest was not over in our little town for over an hour.
As annoying as it is to have a parade of car horns at 6AM on a Sunday morning, I have to stand with this group's methods in addition to the gravity of the message. No one was burning things! Only shouts I heard were what was also written on most of the cars.
Now I generally HATE to hear a car horn in traffic. It is annoying, usually. So let us make annoying sounds to draw attention to something we want say.
I stood next to the street on the second pass a bit ago and I was nervous, I have to admit. I was also worried about how I might be seen, even as some of the neighbors began to walk to the street. Heavily bearded old white guys do not exude trust, to put it mildly. I decided to just wave with an open hand, universal sign of "no harm here."
About forty or so cars after I lost count and lots of damn noise.
But no one was throwing anything, nothing was being broken and no fire.
phobia.
