Pray for him?...
Well I've heard that people in Russia set fire to a car 'cos it's license plate read '666' on it, so that's not the most extreme thing I've ever heard.
It's still pretty bad.
What you did though... Sure a tad dickish, but then again they need their minds opened up a bit, I bet there were more than a few of them that thought the music was pretty bitchin'.
If you feel the 'need' then keep doing what your doing.
You're perfectly within right to... As long as no one actually finds out why you're doing it.

So, you're saying that you decided to cause discomfort to people that had done nothing to you simply because you don't believe the same things they do?
People like you give the human race a bad name.
In OP's defense, according to his story, they did it first. Waiting around a homosexual's vehicle and trying to purge him of his 'sin'? That's pretty awful.
Not that it justifies his behavior, he certainly didn't take the high road on this one, but calling the OP intolerant for blasting metal at these people is like siding with the pot because you think the kettle really is a little bit blacker.
How is it awful? They just knelt and prayed for him. That's not awful.
What's awful is if they beat the living crap out of him, what's awful is that they tie him to the back of his own car and then drag him around the parking lot full throttle while the teachers encourage it... yet they never did that, did they?
What they did was peaceful and all it took was the guy's precious time.
They - the OP and his friend - should have sucked it up and moved on. Or just laughed when his friend told the story.
I couldn't give a rat's ass what they did or what he did. They're both the fools here, but to say what they did is awful is just flat out wrong considering worse things have been done to "cleanse" people of their sin and you're just insulting the victims.
In fairness to the OP, who admittedly,
was a prick about it.
He didn't bash their faces in either... He didn't go about handing around fliers offering them a chance to alter their beliefs.
In a way, his I suppose what you could almost consider a rebuttal was completely peaceful too.
It was some-what 'malicious' (For the lack of a better word) but as long as he didn't actually harm anyone, then I personally don't see how it's disgraceful.
Granted people should be allowed to practice their beliefs in peace, but does practising your belief in peace involve surrounding a man's car based solely on his musical preferences (and what that somehow implies?)
They were both dicks in the end but the OP was perfectly within in his right to show some seemingly severely narrow-minded people that it's a free world after all.
