Yes, they ARE our young women  --  they are the young women of our community.  

And, from what you have said here, OUR young women are very different from the Texas trash that seem to have left a serious scar on your shaky psyche.  

As to this man that you have decided is a saint because he was carrying a sign that had something to do with motorcycle noise...  Here's a 51-year-old guy standing on a street corner in the middle of a weekday morning, who apparently splits his street corner days between his own city of Sequim and the nearby city of PA, and whose sign is kinda lunatic-fringey.  

My guess is that he's not standing there because he's "board," as you put it, but because he has no job and no real connection to the world, because he feels insignificant and gets some validation from adopting a cause that isn't even a problem in this part of the world, and is probably on a mental-health disability.
