This is legally tricky, so some innocence is needed, possibly good humor.

A satirical welcome parade and deliveries of rakes and garbage bags. Their roads can suddenly be subject to public works projects. Special holiday. Ridiculous curfews, shutting down selective services. Noise. Blockages. Nonsense. Stuff to defuse, make people smile without harm to a nervous and already victimized National Guard. Throw parties, see if any of them need assistance in their real lives.

The truculent approach epitomized by Alabama's angry attitude to the National Guard when Eisenhower sent them in to protect schoolchildren during desegregation should be reversed. Hey, that catapulted Gov. Wallace into a perpetual nuisance against his fellow Democrats. What have we learned?
