Once I was sent to Jasper, Texas, to a Klan rally. There was, as expected, a counter-protest that was in fact larger than the klan rally, which was held in support of the three guys who dragged a black man to death behind their truck.

I was sent with a large force in anticipation of a rash of arson, but the event was mostly peaceful and the arsons never occured. But I did get to see from really strange people (on both sides). The klan guys were total nutjobs.
