Nazis Thrown Out of Knoxville by...Clowns?

Yes, clowns. About three months ago, a crowd of about twenty racist skinheads, assembled under the banner of the VVN Vanguard Nazi/KKK organization, were driven off the streets of Knoxville by the humorous actions of the 100th ARA (Anti-Racist-Action) "clown block". Says Ashville Indymedia:

“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running
in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which
[spelled] “White Flour”.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once
more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and
danced about merrily.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a
doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, “ohhhhhh!” the
clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried
to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.

At this point
several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they
were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in
their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed “White
Power!”

The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan
was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE
POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns
and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE
POWER! WIFE POWER!”

It was at this point that several observers reported
seeing several Klan members heads exploding in rage and they stopped trying to
explain to the clowns what they wanted.


The Nazis then dejectedly stalked off the streets, as the crowd of about 150 counter-protesters laughed and cheered, chanting "WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS!" Then:

The clowns seeing how dejected and sad the Nazi’s looked began singing to cheer
them up.

“hey hey hey hey, ho ho ho ho—good bye, good bye” everyone sang
waving their arms in the air in unison.
Ha! Then, reportedly, anti-racist activists flooded the streets and marched through downtown Knoxville, waving banners, carrying signs, and chanting. Police escorted, and in fact led, them along main street, stopping traffic as the street gave way to an anti-racist parade. Cool, eh?
