and also may I ask... who did Jesus hang out with??? the whores and the tax collectors.... the lost.

Doesn't that say that a large crowd can do what they want?

In the absence of firearms, a big enough mob can do exactly what it wants without fear. Which is why the Left is so keen to ban firearms, since intimidation-via-mob is how they get their way.

There are pepper spray pellets what can be fired by paint ball guns. The Forest Service weenies should invest in some

If you don't get impatient and surround the mob and gradually start separating them, I would think they can be stopped. In this case a "sorry guys, the party is over. Thank your disruptive friends" as all were escorted away would have worked.

I didn't say the word "hippie". I said nudity (true, there are stark naked people anywhere you look unless it's cold), rampant drug use (true, there's a smokey haze from the weed being smoked), and filth. I didn't mention, but it is true, that people have sex not privately.

Friends have gone, some go every year, do to outreach. I've been told what it's like many, many times.

[little jeremiah]

He may have hung out with them but he told them the truth - that they needed to change their lives and their hearts. He didn't say "there, there, you're fine just as you are".

And what does that have to do with the topic at hand?

I don't "hate" hippies, and I don't think that people who aren't so-called hippies are saints or great people just because of their external characteristics either.

But facts is facts.
