Local Hero Silences Hate Mongers with Bagpipes

by Wm. Steven Humphrey • Jun 4, 2018 at 9:01 am

Say what you will about bagpipes. Say what you will about unicyclists. Say what you will about people who dress up like Darth Vader, ride a unicycle, and play bagpipes. Say what you will about Portland's Unipiper—but today, I say he is a hero. WATCH.

Oh, you think you can ruin the Starlight Parade for everyone? Here, hold my beer, I got this. 🍺🖐️#WeirdTrumpsHate #MoreWeirdLessHate #LoudPipesSaveLives #KeepPortlandWeird #Portland #PDX #MondayMotivation
