wouldn’t be picketing if I was going to the dealership at
night?

A I’m sorry, say that again.

Q Would it be fair to say that if I was picketing
a dealership during the day I would be getting my message
out. Would it be really picketing if I went there at
night and let’s say damaged their cars with my picket
sign, that wouldn’t be picketing, would it? Just because
you have a picket sign in your hand doesn’t mean that you
are picketing?

A No, it wouldn’t be smart to go to their place
at night and that, no, or effective.

Q You want a crowd there, don’t you, when you are
picketing? I mean you want to have as many people as you
can to hear your message?

A That’s the ideal, yes.

Q So making obscene gestures while you are
picketing, would that be effective picketing? Is that
lawful picketing in your mind?

A It’s lawful picketing. Whether it is effective
is probably doubtful.

Q You have that picket sign in your hand, do you
think it would be fair for you to make at the car
dealership racially offensive remarks if they have a
Black mechanic or a Black car salesman there?
