I drive by the Islamic Center in St. Augustine, Florida everyday on my way to and from work. I noticed on Monday these two older gentlemen carrying American flags and slowly marching on the sidewalk in front of the center. As the week went on, I began noticing them every day. The number of people, all with flags has grown all week. Today on my way home, there were about 20 of them. Some were holding signs, but I drive by too fast to make out what the signs say. They look angry. The temperature outside has been extremely hot. I asked Uncle Google, but I can't find anything about it.
But it looks aggressive, and a bit scary.

Jaime Spears holds an American flag while standing on the sidewalk in front of the Islamic Center, 1760 State Road 207, Thursday evening, July 23, 2015.
A group of protesters held American flags and homemade signs Thursday outside the Islamic Center on State Road 207 in St. Augustine, saying they were there to take a stand against evil.
Weve been angry, but we never once said we hate these people. Thats where we draw the line, said Debora Emerick, a St. Johns County resident. I dont hate them; theres no hate in my heart for anyone, but I hate evil and the killings and the murders, not just in this country, but all over the world, and I cant take it anymore.
It started as a one-woman protest in response to the killing of servicemen in Chatanooga last week by a gunman, said Jaime Spears, another St. Johns County resident and that first protester.

She's cool with the industrial slaughter of civilian Muslims in their own countries. But when american soldiers die, it's to much to take.
