I'd have turned the hose on them.

Everyone assumes that this group was protesting something, yelling at gay people or targeting a particular home.

Notice that they left the area when conflict arose. The men on the sidewalk didn't look too aggressive to me. Where were the signs condemning gays? This is NOT a political group nor a public protest. They were trying to teach what salvation is. Obviously the message was lost on their audience.

I wish I could say this would never happen in PDX, but sadly that is not the case. A large circle around the city proper there is a belt of poverty-stricken, deeply ignorant and wholly Christian families popping up, many of them moving in from rural Oregon and Washington looking for work. The vast majority are good folks, the vicious that do come I would say are more than outweighed by the virtuous but it saddens me that I've developed a prejudice of country folk lately, because of this.
