Follow-up: Jesus sign in Hawkins watched day and night
HAWKINS, TEXAS — Watchful eyes are guarding a controversial sign that welcomes travelers on Jesus' behalf to this East Texas town of 1,320 residents.
"The only incident we had last night was, a skunk walked through," volunteer guard Joe Sabedra quipped Friday morning after he, two youngsters and another adult spent the night on the pie-shaped lot on Hawkins' eastern outskirt.
Sabedra, one of about 15 active members of the Hawkins chapter of the Constitution advocacy group Oath Keepers, said nights have passed peacefully this week as members have guarded a sign reading "Jesus Welcomes You to Hawkins."
The volunteers sit beneath two blue festival canopies, each with a coffee maker. They have a dormitory-style refrigerator, lawn chairs, a clock radio and fans.

They can harass skunks and armadillos instead of people.
Thank goodness they were around to protect the country from Jade Helm 15.
