The Art of Resistance. This time through music.

The one Proud Boy and protester were having an animated discussion that seemed to calm down as the musicians blasted away. Several of the PBs were rocking to the rhythm.

Another way to peacefully defang the opposition.

The cops/troopers did not look thrilled at the horns full tilt in their faces.

Good times!
