Um . The Protestant population is over 45 %. I weep for the children if this is what you ' re learning in school . Literally it was a huge deal in US history with discrimination and hate crimes against Catholics . The KKK was founded with the dual goal of suppressing Blacks and Catholics . The Roman Catholic Church is just the largest single denomination . Berry different from being the largest religious group . <| sep |> Send him some sliced cheese <| sep |> The audio quality was really shitty . and a lot of people were talking at once for a lot of it . so the amount of usable information I pulled out of it with just one listen and no audio processing to clean it up follows . Sounds like Comet was breaking the laws for at least a year before this meeting took place in 2007 . They weren ' t allowed to have live acts , but one of the women rattled off a list of shows she had seen them post online . a lot of the acts had provocative names like Twink and other names from the smutty flyers people have posted . she rattled off a bunch of them and then started to go off about a youtube video from an acted called The Ape Majestic Ape ? and was immediately cut off . The end result of the meeting was Comet getting everything they wanted even though there was ample proof they had been breaking many regulations for a while . James was there but his lawyer did a lot of the speaking for him . James definitely brigaded the meeting with a shitton of followers . their applause and boos drown out a lot of the conversations . The lady wanted to file a motion to table the discussion until later since she had evidence that the there was no proper notice but that motion was dismissed 43 . Frank Winstead did yell out that it would lead to rape and murder but not in a way to insinuate that it was happening inside comet . he referenced Adams Morgan which is an neighborhood in DC that had a rash of crime break out the year before . drugs and shootings . It was also where Gary Condit had his secret lovenest with Chandra Levy . In the context I think he was saying that Comet attracted and bad crowd . he called them a sordid lot and said that James was lying and cheating . he also accused James of spitting on food . Most of the people critical of Comet were cut off or drown out pretty well . so I couldn ' t catch most of it . One of the officials said that her younger constituents had taken to contacting her lately to praise Comet . One said they Like putting the kids to bed and going to Comet . A couple of longtime residents of the neighborhood had a lot of nice things to say about Comet . One a chef of 25 years and another said he lived there since 1970 . They seemed very angry about the fact the place would be questioned . two different people mentioned they don ' t want to go all the way to Dupont Circle for a slice of pizza . I ' ll look into this later . I think after the verdict the same guy from 1970 said he wanted the rape and murder stricken from any record since it was not relevant . Frank Winstead said the commission will look carefully at Comet . and when James was cocky about how he got his way and said something about how the establishment was now compliant the guy yelled We ' re not compliant now ! The mics were left live for 10 minutes after the close of the Comet Pizza stuff . It was a din of noise as people filtered out . but I heard one of the committee members say this is not legal . Then the weirdesttinfoilhattiest part was someone was talking to one of the mic ' d committee members and said . you know what ? I ' m allergic to tomatoes and meat . while the one wearing the mic kept going Shhhhh shhhhh shhhhhh . With audio processing or another set of ear on this we might be able to squeeze out some more info .
