These guys, repent america, sound suspiciously like a group of christians that preached around Florida State while I was there. They were always in groups of at least 2. One guy would hold a bible, stand on a bench or wall, and start yelling at passer-bys. They would shout how we were all going to hell and that we needed to be saved. They called the girls whores and sluts because of how they dressed. They pretty much hated on everyone that was around. Sometimes they carried big signs that were actually quite vulgar, that basically said the same things they yelled.
The catch was though, there was always at least one other person in the background and he always had a videocamera. Unless you knew to look for him, you probably would never notice him.
It seemed that the loud guy was shouting, not to spread the gospel, or try and save people, but to piss them off, and start confrontations. There were many times when it looked like there was going to be a fight, or at least a punch thrown.
I think these guys go around the country, basically starting shit. They antagonize passer-bys and onlookers, hoping one of them will cross the line, assault them (which is documented on film) and then sue. I heard the group that came around my campus had been awarded a $200,000 settlement from another school and student, when one student decided he had enough of the preacher's badgering and, instead of walking away, punched the guy in face.
I don't know if these groups are related, but they sound suspiciously similar. If you ever encounter them, be ware. Don't assault them, they are only looking to sue.
