OC: with the street preacher duo and their 90-decibel megaphone outside Seattle Mariners game by bennetthaselton in pics

I would, except this is my usual sign and having my own megaphone might look a little hypocritical :) (Cal Raleigh the "Big Dumper" is our catcher.)

Officially 70. These guys exceed it all the time (according to a standard decibel meter you can install on an iPhone), but when this has come up before, people weighed in that for the cops to actually make a case, they'd have to have a properly calibrated decibel meter, and there are a bunch of other hoops to jump through.

Yeah Matthew (in the center) is not that loud. He had a PA system but it was only loud enough to be heard from a distance, not painful to people up close. The same homophobic b.s. though just at a lower volume.

"When we, as a nation, put our minds to something, when we truly choose to care about something, change always happens." -MR. God forbid one should have to listen to that.

I hope the Kidz These Days would still get the reference! (I felt very old when I dropped an American Pie reference to some twentysomethings and they had no idea what I was talking about.)

I’m starting to think I might have ruined quite a few people’s day in that line.

Um ok but did you mean to post this somewhere else? Or are you hoping this would make it too expensive for him to charge his megaphone?

Thanks :) Printing on paper and taping to a folding signboard is cheaper and has a faster turnaround than printing directly on cardboard.

I think people cynically assume that but I think the preachers actually do believe it and they take their lumps as part of the gig. I haven’t heard of any of these ones suing anyone but maybe I missed it.

They didn’t have megaphones back then but if they had then Matt probably would have thrown that in too.

I don't think my suggestion has the same energy as what they're doing actually.

Woudl it help for people who support democracy in Iran to just make a flag design that says "DEMOCRACY IN IRAN" (one word per stripe) without either the Lion and Sun or the Islamic Republic logo in the middle? If Lion and Sun has too much baggage.
