We attended and as suspected, the 'youts' came and when my father said 'go', we went. Confronted, stopped and ejected them. They seemed quite stunned that anyone would stand up to them in such a manner. I believe they were expecting a church full of sheep. Yet they found sheepdogs who were prepared to do violence on behalf of the sheep.
It seems these days, the sheep have disdain for the violent abilities of the sheepdogs and spurn them from their fold. Much to their chagrin when the wolves show up at the door.
If this is expected to happen again, 1. Smokebomb three blocks radius of the church. 2. Gather up targets, drop into Channel with weights.
Attrition works every time it’s tried.
