A rally to protest the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse was turned into a farce by a single protester armed with just a sousaphone.
The march, organised by the Ku Klux Klan earlier this month, was taking place near the capital building in the city of Columbia when local resident Matt Buck spotted them.
Mr Buck took out his sousaphone - an instrument very similar to a marching tuba - and began playing a comical, lumbering tune to make them sound as stupid as possible.
"I didn't really know how to show my opposition, so that was my way of doing it," Mr Buck told the Charleston City Paper.
"My goal was to embarrass them, and I think I did a little bit."
