No I don’t think anyone will act like a grown up. (I know it was a rhetorical question.) There is this thing in American culture when it comes to cameras. People will either quickly try to get out of the way (there are the grown ups), the others will start acting like they are on Jerry Springer and just lose all sense of proportion.

Clearly this was being filmed, not just by CAIR, but by the group themselves. That’s why there was the posed speeches.

I think it’s good that they are being called haters and fascists, just to give them a sense of perspective. If they weren’t so interested in getting on camera, and were seriously wondering what was going on inside, then someone would have gone inside and listened. Or, if they were so sure that what was happening was evil, then again, someone would have gone inside to listen.

But the cameras were on the outside.
