Wow, that’s a great idea. Wish I had the wherewithal (and the courage) to do it, although I’d have the guts if I had a group of FReepers to go along.
If I was still living outside Chicago, I would definitely be tempted to organize something like this, but alas, I’m 4 hours away now, and our vehicle needs a little work before I’d feel comfortable driving to Chicago in the snow!
As you said, it would need to be a large group. Especially seeing as Chicago doesn’t allow concealed carry, or anything like that for defense. Of course, I don’t know - maybe hired security could be arranged for?
For those FReepers in Chicago, I think this would be a good thing to look into... Of course, the parishoners (and the new pastor) are probably too smart to say anything in the presence of anyone that doesn’t share their skin color.
Probably best if it were a group of black conservatives, now that I really think about it...
