Bad optics, but having a bullhorn shouting in your ear is gonna make you cover your ears.

Doesn't matter if it's dead kids, or your favorite Simpson's quotes, bullhorns are loud.

Good point

Would you guess it was louder than your street being carpet bombed? Just as a random example.

Yes. Loud things make you cover your ears.

Bombs are louder than bullhorns? Okay you win the loudness competition, but people are still covering their ears for both.

You don’t get to complain about that when you are the one causing the louder noise. And not just noice but genociding people. This is pure narcissistic evil.
