The car horn thing is real, regardless. In fact this terrorism tactic was used as recently as... 2 months ago during the height of the NYC protesting. The police drove their cars through Harlem all night with the sirens blaring as a sleep deprivation tactic.
I'd definitely go more in the B range for this one, but still pretty good.
I didn’t realize Emmett Till’s nickname was Bobo. He was the kid in the cellar who asked the Ouija board if he would have a nice trip...
