But for a short summary, it basically went down like this:
1) Westboro had an anti-gay protest near Brooklyn Tech
2) Hundreds of Tech students show up after school, outnumbering the Westboro's 7
3) Westboro goes home early than they planned
4) Go Tech!!!
Big ups to Brian Benavides! He's the homie with the dope sign haha. And great job to all the Brooklyn Tech students!
Hey i know that kid lol Whatever its all good. Bet half the kids didn't know what was going on. It would have been more impressive if they spurred a debate and Tech won through good arguments but this way is fun too.
ReplyDeletethere woulda been no possible communication btwn a group of 7 and a group of 700.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was technically about communication but rather more of making a statement -- to show Westboro that many people strongly oppose them and to tell them to gtfo!! :D
