What Do You Think of Salem's October Bullhorn Population?

Tell us what you think about our yearly bullhorn crowd in the comments, but please keep it respectful.

What would October be in Salem without people exercising their first amendment rights?

Oftentimes, these people carry bullhorns, which they use to amplify their messages.

In 2008, the Salem News reported a preacher with Repent America was arrested after he ignored police officers' orders to cease use of a bullhorn.

Last weekend, zombies took on preachers in Lappin Park.

This past weekend, some people took bullhorns into their hands, positioned themselves next to those sharing their religious views and had some other opinions and thoughts to share.
