I ended up calling the cops on a huge Yes on 8 demonstration at an intersection near my office.
It all started out 'innocently enough'. I was arguing with kids about it. Those poor kids were so misinformed (not surprised). I told them that churches will not be forced to marry gay people, nor should they and they should research state and federal laws - just because something happened in MA doesn't mean it will happen here. I also asked them why someone would want to get married in a place where people don't approve of their relationship. I saw the look in their eyes changed when I was talking to them. I probably shouldn't have told them their parents are homophobic and their parents and church are telling them lies.
While I was arguing with them I saw the protesters (kids too) impeding the flow of traffic by standing(kids too) in the crosswalks preventing people from turning right, which in turn was backing up traffic to another stoplight. Close to 100 people were in a very small intersection at rush hour was creating a huge traffic hazard and putting kids in danger. All I said when I called was that there was a very large political demonstration at x location that is causing a traffic hazard by standing in the street and putting kids in danger.
