And I was at their place while it was going on. Of course, I couldn't see the sign from their place but there were several kids waving flags and waving at passing cars. I just had a feeling they were teahadists, er repukes, er, right wingers because of the excessive flags. Then I saw an article about it in the QC Times yesterday and said to myself, "It figures." My mom told me that the police made them move because they were posing a hazard to traffic. Busy road, busy walkway. Too bad for them. Or not.
