	The only way soapboxxers can be silenced is if the soapboxxer is threatened with a weapon (with a weapon aimed at them), or is physically attacked by the player or NPCs (i.e. via punches, a weapon, or a simple vehicular accident).

	Soapboxxers in GTA IV are generally classified into two groups.		Soapboxxers in GTA IV are generally classified into two groups.

	The first are African American '''preachers''' who constantly warn about doom for humanity. They appear to be rather eccentric but delusional, their statements often lacking factual basis. Even so, they believe that what they're saying is true. They are most likely a play on the "bible belt" fundamentalist preachers who often come into large cities (such as Washington, D.C. and New York City) to preach "the good word" to anyone passing by. There are a variety of randomized character models of preachers, each with ~~there~~ own view on what hell is in store for those who are nonbelievers and heaven that those who believe will go to when they die; a handful of preacher may also hold what appears to be a religious book, but close inspection reveals it is simply a book also held by generic pedestrians.

	The other form of soapboxxers are Caucasian American '''conspiracy theorists''' who attempt to spread far-fetched conspiracy theories relating to the government and criticize the seeming conformity of society. They warn of how corrupt the government is (specifically, that of the United States) and how the government spies on them (stating on one occasion, for example, that the government has put "robots" into the drinking water). On other occasions, they tend to express they wish for a conspiracy-free society, and their unconditional love of everyone.
