00:00 This morning, the ACLU filed a federal lawsuit
00:05 challenging the designation of a musical band base
00:10 as a criminal gang.
00:12 I'd like to introduce the plaintiffs,
00:14 the Insane Clown Posse.
00:16 We're going to war with the FBI.
00:20 In your face!
00:22 We made USA Today's worst album of the year,
00:25 GQ's worst artist of all time.
00:28 We embrace the hate.
00:30 People hate what they don't understand.
00:32 Juggalos are still a group that is reviled and misunderstood.
00:35 We're just one big family. We look out for each other.
00:38 All of your family.
00:39 His music isn't for moms.
00:42 The FBI designation is unprecedented.
00:47 The ACLU, they don't play.
00:49 And it wasn't just about representing a bunch of people
00:52 who painted their face.
00:54 Our daughter's four years old,
00:55 so are they going to consider her a gang member?
00:57 This is a case that is important enough to go to the Supreme Court.
00:59 It's fair to say that some were gang members.
01:01 You know, the music is violent.
01:03 If this would have happened to a band that America liked,
01:06 the country would be up in arms about this.
01:08 I'm an attorney. Can I speak to you? Are you with the ATF?
01:11 We should point out, one of them flicked us off on his way out.
01:14 Stop and take us out of the equation.
01:17 Look what they're saying.
01:19 I am not a gang member.
01:20 I am not a gang member.
01:21 I am not a gang member.
01:22 If having bad taste in music was a crime,
01:25 every parrot head in the world would be on the gang list.
01:28 If the government can target a group of people
01:31 based on their musical taste,
01:33 they can target a group of people based on any reason at all.
01:36 You're making history!
01:38 We're the good guys here today!
01:40 If we don't do something about it, who's next?
01:45 Where would it stop?
01:47 Without these freedoms, we are not the United States of America.
