Protesters angry over ICP concert canceled
IDAHO FALLS - Enthusiastic fans of a music group are angry and protesting at City Hall in Idaho Falls tonight, because a concert has been canceled.
This group of die hard insane clown posse fans won't stop marching until they get the music group called "Insane Clown Posse" to perform in Idaho Falls.

The principal at Rocky Mountain Middle School heard about the lyrics in ICP and expressed concerns about the group's influence in the community.

The principal, Shalene French told me she's concerned about the lyrics influencing the community after recently attending a gang violence meeting.

At the meeting ICP was the topic of conversation because of the words in their songs.

For now the group can return their pre-paid tickets for the concert to C-D World between December first and the 15Th for a full refund.

Quran burning

A Florida pastor says he is likely to burn copies of the Quran on September 11th. Gen. David Petraeus says the action could endanger US troops. The pastor says he's just standing up to radical Islam. What do you think of the idea?

  • A stupid idea. His symbolic protest puts real soldiers in danger, and shows the world we practice the same intolerance we condemn in our enemy.
  • A great idea. We need to spend less time worrying about whether our enemies in this war might be offended. If this is how he chooses to express himself, I'm all for it.
  • Not sure.
