In this country, Dad had every right to stand on the corner with his Watchtower magazines. It was the ignorant hicks that beat him that are the ones that needed condemning. To say the gay man who wants to be treated fairly or that Dad or any other JW of the time standing on the corner peacefully (1st amendment in action) exercising thier rights should have cowered instead, that they were "stupid" is to be an ass.
You can project anger all you want, my opinion here stands.
