My town is crazy.
Murfreesboro has had a few strange events over the last five years I’ve lived here. We’ve had our radical preacher’s getting pushed around by butch lesbians, 20 feet tall displays of aborted fetuses, students setting themselves on fire in a dumpster, uber-conservative tea parties, anti-Obama rallies, and all sorts of other things.
Today there was a group of people marching to the courthouse to sign a petition to stop a Mosque from being built. As I understand it (poorly), there was a counter-protest to this as these people marched from a nearby school into the courthouse.
I got quite a bit of Rutherford county’s ignorance recorded, as well as the typical uninspiring chanting from the liberal college kids of the town. I know quite a few of the pro-Mosque individuals, and they are good people. This isn’t meant to question their methods. Nay, this is merely to allow you a glimpse into the twisted, Islam-hating town that I live.
There’s rednecks. There’s people holding signs. There’s people screaming out things about Afghanistan and how the Muslim people are going to take over America and kill us all.
There’s even a dude wearing a shirt that says ‘infidel’ on it that does the Nazi salute.

And thus Kawan became a star.
Thanks for recording this. Things seem to be going nuts in the ‘boro again.
BTW, what did you film with?

Nice. That is so freaking embarrassing.

@niko Panasonic HDC-9. I shot it in HD, but I don’t have access an editor. The PS3 uploader/editor convert everything to 480p.
@jason I know, right. I just had to get it on camera!
