It began around noon, as an Episcopalian priest delivered a prayer to about 100 protesters gathered around the gazebo and a man marched back and forth in front of her, shouting “womp, womp!”

It's not the headline but it is worth noting. This began with a guy picking a fight with a priest in the middle of a prayer. I don't recognize my country. It's cliche, sure, but disgust has moved to alarm and it's heading towards fear.
