Continuing the discussion from Monday, Jake and I go on to react to the CNN Anderson Cooper interview with the organizer of the obnoxious event. Also, I read most of this really well written response to the event: To the Bikers Who Plan to Protest in Arizona The post AS142: Armed Peaceful Protests, with Jake Farr-Wharton appeared first on Atheistically Speaking.
