Anyone know what they are protesting on the corner of Main St in Rockaway? Signs say things like “Honk for Freedom” and one sign that had the T slur, but I couldn’t make sense of the sentence. I’m assuming it’s just general ignorance, but I’m too curious for my own good.

Edit: typo :(

They've been there for months. I see them when I drive to Jersey Girl Cheese down the street. I opened my window and yelled fuck you at them and they weren't expecting that. They are an anti-everything "look at me" meetup.

They’re there most weekends. We head to Missy’s for breakfast a fair bit and they’re always out there… with their signs that don’t really make much sense. I’ve been told I can’t yell obscenities at them by my usual passenger.

For years there was a guy in a lawn chair every Saturday protesting God knows what in front of the Hillsborough Post Office. These make him look like a deep thinker.

I assume that hosing them with a super soaker full of milk is some type of assault? (Asking for a friend)

One of their big platforms is antivax. I just can't imagine wasting every Saturday morning to look like a bunch of twats. Every time you drive by, they really try to engage you.

Edit; spelling

let me guess, a group of conservative right wingers or "libertarians" whining about social issues that do not concern them at all?

What they should be protesting is the timing of that traffic light. Wait forever on Franklin just for a short green where only a few cars can make the turn.

OP from the photo someone else posted in this thread, the sign read "tyranny" and the other guy has something about bodily autonomy, looks like they're protesting vaccine mandates.

Oh hey this is my hometown. What a weird spot for that, though? I’d think they get more visibility at the three-way intersection by Anthony’s, like a half mile up the street. The bar there also seems pretty MAGA friendly, which I found out last time I went home last summer.
