Crossing the street to campus in my tweed jacket with elbow patches and huge briefcase, I’ve seen blue collar guys in hardhats mouth, “Fucking professor!”

I have kind of a question to ask about why the jerks shouted at your friends:

I agree; all these screamers are idiots, discourteous to the core. They’re all mega-jerks . . . but when we wear certain styles that make a definitive statement, shouldn't we expect responses from some lame brains?

I'm thinking sometimes we have to anticipate certain freedoms of speech when we choose to exercise our own first amendment choices. Could that have been the case with your friend's?

maybe each time those people lure hatred comments at you, respond with "Fucking haters."

Seriously, people like that have issues within themselves which have nothing to do with the person they are attacking. Important to ignore them unless they become physical or threatening. That's when the cops should be called to interfere.
