On one hand this photo strikes me as hilarous, even funnier than the one of you with the skull and the brain.
On the other hand, there is no need for people to be this abusive. This is not the way to handle things, but at least no one tried to set you on fire like Evan's new friend tried in Tucson or threw vodka and orange juice on you kuje what happened to the Ausralian guy and to me was a real sin...a perfect waste of perfectly good vodka and orange juice.

Here is a video from Bele Chere: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIQU7p5L6jAThe crowds were so hostile and vicious that I thought it would be good to end the video with Mr. Rogers singing "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood".

What does "people trying to hang off of you" mean?
Do you mean when sinners crowd around?

You have a few options when people crowd around you:
1. Look for elevation. (this does however put you at risk of being shoved). It is also good to find some type of barrier between you and the crowd, like a wall or a bush. That will help keep them back.
2. Stop preaching, let the crowd disperse and calm down, and start up again when you think best. (there is a possibility that this might show them what they have to do in order to get you to stop)
3. Keep preaching and let the hecklers and crowd tire themselves out.
I've done all three of these. Each situation is different, so each method to overcome the problem is good in it's place. You have to decide what the situation calls for.

I would add:
1. turning from them, placing your back to them 2. get to a wall to put your back to. 3. move away from the crowd 4. using upraised arms, banner, or Bible to block thier faces or gain leverage from them.
