But the standard procedure is getting monotonous. Every Saturday morning, I ride by, honk my horn and give them the double bird.
Maybe I should increase the difficulty. A wheelie and the bird?
I need ideas, people.

(309 posts)"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

(4,119 posts)Every Saturday there's a group of pro-life AND a group of pro-choice people side by side in front of a women's health clinic. When I drive by I give the choicers thumbs up...and the lifers an eye roll.

(73,631 posts)You're staying off the sidewalk.
Not that you should run them over though, but just lead them a tad too much and give them time to scurry out of the way.
Then again, you could just stay on the street and toss them the triple lindy bird.

(5,105 posts)Also, "you claim to care about the unborn but deny food and services to the actually born."
I wish we'd put pix of children killed in bush's wars -- with their skulls shattered, limbs blown off, etc -- on bus sides like they do with wax figures of aborted fetuses.

(9,462 posts)deny it food stamps but I realized that some of those people may very well support those programs. Many of the Catholics are very anti-abortion but also pro-social programs that benefit children.

(8,020 posts)How about wearing black and stopping the car, whipping out a Bible (available cheap in any used book store) and start reading. Hold your right hand up in a benediction... make the sign of the cross. Don't talk to them, but if they ask what you're doing, tell them you're trying to exorcise the judgmental demons from their souls. Stay in character.
Or...
Dress in anything red and stop the car and start exhorting Satan to rain fire down on them. If you can speak in tongues, that would be cool, too.
Or ask to join them... tell them the last time you joined a group of folks like them you got some of the best oral/anal sex of your life. You folks know how to PARTY!
Gotta throw them off their stride.
Bunch of those assholes started picketing across from the public High School where I taught. Big signs with chopped up fetuses. The kids were all pissed off and wanted to go take the signs away. I gently suggested that street theater would be more effective. Goddam theater kids put on a show that had everybody howling with laughter at the protesters right there on a main street of an affluent suburb. Some kids went over and "confessed" that they had not only aborted multiple fetuses.. they ate them, and they were looking for prayer and absolution. Weirded the picketers out.
More fun than getting your adrenalin all up. Those people are simply an impact area for your perverted creativity.

I wish I could have seen the kids' performance. Wouldn't it be great if these loons got that kind of reception everywhere?

(8,020 posts)wasn't in their picket training.
This was an upper-middle class high school in a purple area of a blue state. The purples may have been economically conservative, but they understood that birth control and abortion we none of anybody else's business.
I was very proud of our kids.

(6,685 posts)There is a doctor next town over who drives to Louisville twice a month to volunteer at a clinic that offers services to women. He does not perform abortions but will refer women seeking abortion to whatever resources she needs.
The nutz found if out and have been picketing his home every Saturday, harassing his family and his local patients. The law says they can't do anything. This dear sweet man deserves better but no one has been able to talk any sense into these big city church people that come here to cause so much hurt. Your ideas are about guaranteed to put a stop to it.
I dearly thank you for sharing.

(288 posts)I guess it would depend on what you're trying to accomplish.
Have you noticed their numbers diminishing because of your efforts? Any converts yet?
And given their obvious low intelligence they probably wonder why that same fool rides by every week with his hands off of the handlebars signaling he's number 2 and hoping that you don't lose control and wipe out.
They can be so stupid sometimes.

(29,674 posts)there were some protesting in front of our PP, holding signs with stats about how many abortions they had performed at the local office that year. My local PP doesn't do that-they are strictly pap smear/bc people.
Anyway, I pulled up in the parking lot and informed them that they were lying because there were no abortions performed at that office. A guy, mid thirties and not working on a Friday afternoon (I was on the way to pick up a kid from an early out at school) strolls up to my car, puts his arm on the rolled down windoand tells me where his "stats" come from. Turns out there took every abortion in a 500 mile radius and divided them al up for each clinic. (I'm not kidding.) Why? Because if they ever even referred anyone it's the same as performing it. Oh, and all of this was while he called me "baby" and "sweetie".
Shortly after the whole group was advised to leave immediately or else they would be charged with trespassing. Why? Because I sent my friend in to tell what was happening: the guy was harassing a customer (me, since I do use their well woman services) by leaning against her car in the parking lot. Since I was in the middle of the lot it meant they let the public sidewalk and entered private property. When my friend entered they yelled at her (including the guy in the parking lot), telling her to save her baby.
