FBI sting?

Not surprising. Many years ago, I attended the pride parade here in Des Moines, Iowa. A friend of mine was part of the event's security detail and they were expecting trouble at the parade with the local Bible-thumpers, and, as expected, they got some of it. A van with markings on it of something like River Of Life Church was spotted by my friend, who began following the van after it showed up in the parade area. The van was spotted leaving a dumpster that had been set on fire, undoubtedly to disrupt the parade and force it to either detour or stop. My friend put out the fire and the parade went on uninterrupted when it later got to that area. Typical petty right wing tactics. My friend also alerted the cops about the van, who later stopped it and, of course, the driver denied any involvement with the dumpster fire. The cops told him to leave the area and stay away, which they did.
