Anticipating trouble at the Rage Against the Machine concert on Day 3

Fox 9's Bill Keller reports before the Rage Against the Machine concert in Minneapolis about the police (and Fox 9 reporters) anticipating "violence".



Includes the following priceless Foxesque quotes from Keller:

"Well police have good reason to be concerned. This afternoon they found a stockpile of bricks and broken glass hidden near the Target Center. It's thought they were being stashed until after the show. Police have seen this done before. It is a tactic used by fans bent on violence..."

"Last night an impromptu bullhorn performance [by Rage Against the Machine] ended with riot police dispersing the crowd with tear gas, creating concerns that Tuesday's civil disobedience in St. Paul was just a prelude to the band's final movement tonight in Minneapolis."

"The fans of Rage Against the Machine will likely be whipped into a frenzy with the band's aggressive political message".

In reality, lead singer Zach asked departing concert goers to be peaceful.
