Waco Courthouse Protest and Mount Carmel Church Discussion
Protesters gather near a Waco courthouse to observe a Ku Klux Klan demonstration, expressing skepticism about the group's motives. Local residents discuss the reconstruction of a church at the old Mount Carmel site, formerly associated with the Branch Davidians. Observers suggest the Klan's presence is a publicity stunt or a federal provocation intended to stir controversy in Central Texas.
