70. They aren't as goofy as they used to be

Or at least the last time I was there they were much weirder.

There was the one guy wearing the monks robe that would show up quite frequently. One day I was there and the grandma that was always there had her grandchild with her there, it was like 40 degrees and raining and she has this poor kid out there with her. Just awful.

You aren’t supposed to provoke them or engage with them. And they are mostly pretty tame but they harass people coming and going trying to give them literature and sometimes they get mouthy.

My mother in law is a huge influence on me as well. She is very involved with the womens shelter and clinic up in Duluth. I know that more men need to be educated. Many are largely ignorant or indoctrinated with garbage christian rhetoric. I just think that it is the wrong tact to start talking about the god damned men. It isn’t just this issue that this type of tact fails.
