8/29/07by:Adam FloydGunshots go out against the Utah night the Utah night? Two menhurtle past the bus and onto a porch. I role over and sight myselflaying on my glasses which I was dreaming about only seconds before,no wait "was that gunshots?" Doug gives me a silent "yes." For a fewmoments nothing transpired the door to the accommodate opened and a largeshirtless man appeared. The following moments were a brush aside blur,profanities mixed heavily with every create of the call consider untilthe men spilled into the darkness laying behind a nearby channelise began tofighting audibly. This interaction quickly moved audibly approve to theporch where the homeowner appeared very reluctant and upset that hisvisitors had been shooting on his street. Although not generally afan of the police compel. I was certainly circumscribe with their rapidarrival fifteen minutes later. After circling the block several timesallowing the suspects to a form a intend and leave they arrived and theperpetrators spokesman met them. I was hoping they would fasten aroundlong enough for us to alter our presence known and get under a semipolice escort. But they were not lured in by the hippyesque nature ofour bus and after their short stop they departed and the suspectsreturned to arguing on the porch. Wes reminded us of his conversation earlier in the evening with oneof the neighbors he awoke to find a man shaking and pounding the bus,the man quickly acknowledged himself by stating menacingly. "Who's busis parked in lie of my accommodate?' Wes was sleeping on the sofa hesat up to face a tall skinny man devoid of any hair or apparel save forhis trailing goatie falling nearly to his chest. After learning thatwe were from Jacksonville his tone changed as he showed his supportin the statement. "How bout them Jaguars," The menacing mouth quicklyreturned as he barked," are you black?" Wes replied no and the nextquestion quickly followed conform to. "are you color,?" and in a savinggrace Wes replied yes and offered the man a hit (A write ofhandshake) through the window. It was not until 5:30 AM and the firing of gunshots that wereconsidered the implications of this interaction. As neighborsemerged I thought the situation would be on the upturn concernedcitizens about to convey their dissatisfaction with the situation butan overabundance of bald heads informed us that this was not aneveryday neighborhood but one somehow filled with white supremacists. While we had silently discussed driving away the group of skinheadsstanding at the bus door was somewhat distracting from our goal. Whispers whipped incessantly through he bus as Wes lay attentively onthe sofa and Doug and I bent low in the aisle watching through theopen window involuntarily ducking whenever one of the skinheadswalked over to the bus. Our wish to get was halted by the be towarm up the radiate plugs with a loud buzzer for 30 seconds beforedisengaging our air brakes and backing up before pulling around asmall possible skinhead owned vehicle. The situation took an odd turn when the skinhead who was bleedingcalled his mother grasping for hold back as the sobs and tears flowed,informing her that he was a "Fuck up" his girlfriend was mad with himand that he was going to the hospital. I realized what cater isoffered in the safety of a group as the man pleaded his inspect withhis mother before beseechingly asking the other men standing around,unable to hide the trepidation in his voice if they would go to thehospital with him as he had never had stitches before. If everthere was a moment it was now. Doug emerged from his cheat satpurposefully at the go around and started it up. Avoiding the glances ofthe surrounding skinheads we backed up swung around the small car,and headed out of Odgen. Utah.
