The white-supremacist group showed up outside the state Capitol to protest the removal of the Confederate flag from a government memorial, at one point clashing with members of the New Black Panther Party. As situation grew more and more tense, a local musician devised a unique way of defusing the situation: He followed the KKK protesters down the street while playing a sousaphone.

By the way, he was playing the same mocking tune played by Stewie in this Family Guy clip.
