“Honk for Peace”
Phoenix, today…………
I went down to the local mall today, busy place this time of day. I was sitting at a very crowded intersection, maybe 40-60 vehicles from all directions. (12 lanes of traffic)
Anti-war protesters on every corner holding signs “Honk for Peace” walking around for all to see.
I turned off the radio to listen.....
There was nothing but silence for the few minutes I sat waiting for the lights to change. (Never heard one honking horn coming or going.)
Maybe people do get it…… I was amazed.

LOL Mr. H, good point.
Silence speaks louder than words...in this case that's all good.

Admit it! You gave them the Team Sergeant stare and they were all afraid to honk...

Sorry to say TS that the anti war knuckleheads are out every day in my city with the "honk for peace" signs (and in this liberal state they play to the crowd). I usually respond with the "your number one!" sign but that tends to piss them off for some reason!

protesters
we get these idiots across the street from my apartment every few weeks, always on a saturday morning. Tell you what, nothing makes a hangover worse than being woken up by a bunch of fat hippies chanting a bunch of moronic tripe about "blood for oil" and our "war criminal president."
The good news is, I live in one of those increasingly rare environments: a politically conservative college town (well, the students and the townies at least). It's hilarious to see the verbal abuse these people get from a bunch of still-drunk conservative frat guys. I guess I don't really mind them being out there; it's kind of entertaining and I certainly don't think they get much sympathy from the locals.

They call that kind of crap protest. It is equivalent to a domestic disturbance. They don't even know how to effectively use their right to be a pain in the ass.

Well damn TS! When is the next one? I'll meet ya. It seems the past couple years, 24Th St and Camelback is the place to be for the 10,20 or so buttholes that show up. Gawd, how I love fu**k*n with those folks. My resume' will show about 30 years. Got good at it. Practice, practice, practice.

This thread just made some old SF training come back to me. Not sure if I should post it here though. Had to do with .... well messing up demonstrations and such anywhere. It's pretty basic, but better check with the homeowners of this site first.

What every SF guy needs....
TS,
Next time a peace demonstration breaks out in your neighborhood... try this!
Pisses them off more than The Finger. Replace that annoying singing and chanting with coughing and gasping.

Non-lethal is wonderful, for LEO's.
I prefer the mashing of fingers and the breaking of legs, thats non-lethal and has a lingering effect.

What ever happened to "honk if you're horny"?
