(La Porte, IN) - Light hearted demonstrators providing comedy relief from the political strife nationwide were present in downtown La Porte over the weekend.  They stood in front of the courthouse for a second time on Saturday with a large plywood sign stating “Bring Back the McRib.”  The demonstration is calling for the return of a McDonalds sandwich , which is typically only offered just during select times of the year.

Zach Ford of La Porte came up with the idea, not for the satisfaction of his taste buds year round, but to lighten up the mood of the political climate marked by demonstrations and rioting in different parts of the country. 

His friend, 18 year old Seth Cupres also of La Porte, said he’s been surprised by the number of passing motorists honking their horns and hits received on social media on pictures of the them with the sign.  Cupres said the response from the public has been so great they’re thinking about raising money to take the Bring Back the McRib demonstration to other parts of the nation.

He and several of his friends were outside courthouse for at least six hours on Saturday.  Their first "Bring Back the McRib" demonstration happened the previous weekend.
