Can you believe it? Another protest!

There's no rule that says we can't protest the teen torture center on the east side of Cincinnati on 2 Fridays in a row. So, by golly, we did precisely that!

I had an injured foot, but I got called to the scene again last night. It was a rainy day, but the rain ended just when we arrived in Milford. And not a moment too soon!

We arrived just as about 5 cars full of parents were pulling out of the cult's driveway. One of them zipped across the street to where the 3 of us were standing. It turned out the man in the car was the same guy who got out of his vehicle last week and charged towards us.

This time, the folks in the car began arguing with us. They were upset because we were filming our protest using a camera on a tripod. When one of our group replied that this was "perfectly legal", the man in the car angrily declared, "It's perfectly legal to sue you too!"

For what? Well, his argument the past couple weeks has been that one of our signs is "false advertising" because it says, "HEAR BOTH SIDES."

On an equally amusing note, we noticed that the 2 new private property signs that the facility had just posted before last week's protest were gone already. Apparently they were so incompetent at the simple task of posting signs that they either didn't fasten them tightly enough to keep the wind from carrying them away, or they were on the public right-of-way so they had to take them down.

After the initial rush, we stood around for about an hour, and nothing happened. But I was persistent. I knew we'd get more action if we were patient, so I voted not to leave yet.

My persistence paid off. Soon, more sets of parents streamed out of the abusive facility, and they saw our signs. The latest babyish strategy of this cult is for them to shine their brights right into our eyes - thus demonstrating their own immaturity and lack of a spine.

All in all, my 11th protest against this abusive program was a major success!
