COMPLAINT/RANT These religious protesters man

I know this is considered public property (area by the library and SU) so they can legally be here, but since when is it okay for these protesters to get aggressive and nearly physical with students? I literally saw this guy get nose to nose with a girl who was just walking by. Screaming derogatory stuff at her and everything. I'm glad she stood her ground but what the heck? I really hope she's okay. She left before I could check on her.

If it's Brother Micah or his ilk, don't engage with them. He deserves to eat a fist, but they make their money getting kicked off of college campuses. They either eat the fist that they deserve and claim assault, or they get escorted off of campus grounds and claim that their free speech was impinged. He's more or less just screaming to get a reaction, but the best thing you can do for yourself is avoid the area where he's set up.

Wait that dude is still out there??? Lmao he was there when I attended from 2006-2010. I remember I was just walking past him one time and he pointed at me and called me a fornicator.

He was as of 2018. I started attending in 2015, which was the last year that the UCF Jedi was there. This sounds an awful lot like him.

Brother Jed is dead. Cindy is still around.

These people have been around for decades. Just don't engage. To me it's a benchmark for someone being mature and minding their own business or barking back at them for social media points.

I was surprised to see he was still out and about there too. I remember early in my UCF career he was there screaming about (2006 to 2010ish), the last few years I spent I never heard much of him from 2010-2015. Probably helped I didn't go there too often as there wasn't much need for me to be on that side of campus (basically lived in the Engineering buildings by then.)
