Well.

I certainly have not made any attempt to misrepresent anything. I'll admit I had only watched it through once, but now I've gone over it again to remind myself why I felt the way I did. I was, not shocked, I guess, but disheartened, to see the way Muslims in Michigan wanted things handled. Whenever I ran across Muslims in PA, they never smacked at anyone, made direct threats, or lied about an incident that they paricipated in. Here's what I marked down, at the times I saw things of interest.

@ :42-45 -- Acts 17 guy "If they're telling us to stop taping, stop taping."
Muslim man's interjection: "She can tape it." Someone else's hands are held up against the camera to obstruct taping.

@ 2:03 -- Different Muslim man "--- turn the camera off." He says this repeatedly. Hands are held up against the camera to obstruct taping.

@ 4:45-55 -- Security man in red says "gotta break this up" to the Acts 17 guy and young man talking. Red security man says "don't videotape me. You know where your designated area is supposed to be, so let's go."
Man in yellow security appears to lurch towards camera and a sound like a smack occurs.

@ 5:15 -- Someone's hand smacks the camera. As the camera turns we see another yellow-shirted security man. His hand is still quite near the camera, so that it appears he's the one who struck.

@ 5:36 -- A yellow security man (presumably the same as @5:15) strikes camera.

@ 5:50-53 -- Someone's voice says "I break the camera for you. Trust, I will." Red shirt says something like "Sam, Sam," as if trying to calm the man down.

@ 6:00-40 -- Man may or may not have struck camera. Lady tells a man he can't do that, that "this is America." Yellow security man replies "I don't care," waving his arm. Pink shirted woman waves finger in that yellow-shirt man's face saying "You cannot touch her." Camera person and yellow security converse on whether pictures may be taken. Pink woman says "step away." Camera shakes. "That's assault" a woman says, pointing at a blue-shirted pedestrian who's walking along and does not refute the accusation, but says "get your camera out of my face." I think this is quite funny, since when he is first viewed in this segment, he's maybe 10 feet away. It doesn't look like the camera has been walked around, but 4 seconds later he slapped the camera that was "in his face." He must have walked up to the camera and stood uncomfortably close the the woman, if the camera ever did get near his face.

@ 6:45 -- Acts guy accuses security men of assault. "Close the camera" is heard. "You need permission to -- tape me, you know that."[The Big Brother thread talks about privacy of this sort not being held as legally recognized, even on unquestionably "private" properties.]

@ 7:12 & on -- Camera again stabilizes after shaking [I'm not claiming the total of 16 hits, only the ones I saw] and yellow security man strikes at Acts 17 man. Red-shirted man continually says "keep walking... or I'll make you keep walking. Trust me I will." A crowd (7-10?) yellow-shirted security people are making good the red man's promise of keeping them walking. The red man claims he never hit the camera. From what I saw, I'd be willing to trust him on that, even though he didn't seem overly concerned about the assault from the yellow men. Calls for "police, police." Some police show up. Red man says "no, we haven't" when the accusation of hitting the camera comes up.
