Anyone notice the people in the background nonchalantly ordering 8$ burritos?
You'd think they'd leave if this really scared them that badly (or perhaps people's priorities are so screwed up at this point that they'd continue ordering burritos even if some guy came in juggling two ARs and a throttling chainsaw )
What I think, is this is a slightly more justified occasion of the high-pitched squealing overreaction MDA/MDSGC/MDGS/MAIG/etc. visits upon anyone they notice carrying; particularly when those carriers happen to be protesting them specifically. I recall some other incident in Dallas involving OC'ers demonstrating where MAIG held their little get togethers to figure out how to busy-body more efficiently; they called the cops then, as well, when it was nothing more than people handing out literature with signs, IIRC. Quite honestly, I think OC protestors who have the cops called when anti-groups are being protested need to demand the names of people calling 911, because it's a crime to call police when you know damn well --as activist anti's most certainly do at this point-- that an activity is perfectly legal.
These bozos were just obnoxious enough to give people the cover they needed to react in an "outraged" manner, even though, obnoxious though they were, they weren't exactly harassing anyone, as best we can tell. It's honestly no more offensive than the average hard-core goth, tattoo/piercing enthusiast, or couple that likes to neck in public, and we tolerate them. Just sayin'
