The preacher, with a microphone and speakers in hand, was spewing his hateful speech in a Scottish town square. While passersby could try to ignore it, one boy wasn’t having it. So, armed with a bagpipe, walked up to the preacher and tried to play louder than the man could speak—at least until the police arrived.

If you can’t reason with them, drown them out with music? It’s somewhat of a strategy.
