Yes, but isn't it a pitiful commentary on their former bad boy status that they threaten gift shops?> Time was, they barked and people scattered. Now the best they can do is scare souvenir vendors? HAH. I laugh at their impotent tactics. They need their a**es beat with those huge plastic sunglasses.
This is no different than the way they acted in the '60s. "Shut it down (the campus), or we'll burn it down" was how one anti-war type put it on my campus. He tried too. However all he managed to do was scorch the carpet in the Student Union. Others were more "successful", U. Michigan Computer center, IIRC, was bombed in an incident that killed at least one student.
