0:00:00.324,0:00:01.966
- Hundreds of people turned out tonight

0:00:01.966,0:00:04.579
for the unveiling [br]of a very controversial statue.

0:00:04.579,0:00:05.372
- Yeah, it really is.

0:00:05.372,0:00:09.632
The Satanic Temple of Detroit revealed [br]the one ton bronze statue.

0:00:09.632,0:00:12.170
Their message, they say, [br]more about laws protecting

0:00:12.170,0:00:14.408
religious freedom than about Satan.

0:00:14.408,0:00:15.898
Priya Mann joins us live.

0:00:15.898,0:00:18.891
Priya, I know there was some protesters [br]out there this evening.

0:00:18.891,0:00:21.726
Did the event remain calm?

0:00:21.726,0:00:25.585
- See, Sandor, Detroit police say[br]this was a relatively peaceful event.

0:00:25.585,0:00:27.544
There were a few protesters early on

0:00:27.544,0:00:30.726
that tried blocking the doors [br]so people couldn't get in to get tickets.

0:00:30.726,0:00:32.882
They were told to step back,[br]which they did.

0:00:32.882,0:00:36.246
The same statue will be unveiled [br]tonight at a secret location.

0:00:37.756,0:00:40.062
- (reporter) As a small group [br]of protesters prayed,

0:00:40.062,0:00:42.074
hundreds waited for tickets to the unveiling

0:00:42.074,0:00:46.343
of an eight foot tall bronze statue [br]of a goat-headed Satan.

0:00:46.343,0:00:48.545
Most of the people here agree[br]with the teachings

0:00:48.545,0:00:52.117
of this Satanic temple, [br]the group responsible for the event.

0:00:52.117,0:00:54.070
- It's here, it's in Detroit,[br]and this is fantastic.

0:00:54.070,0:00:55.590
We get to experience this

0:00:55.590,0:00:57.612
and we get to see this amazing statue

0:00:57.612,0:00:59.427
being unveiled for all the world to see.

0:00:59.427,0:01:01.379
- I'm just excited to see [br]my Lord and Savior, Behemoth,

0:01:01.379,0:01:03.892
represented in such glory [br]as Italian stone.

0:01:03.892,0:01:05.486
I do hope his eyes gaze upon me,

0:01:05.486,0:01:07.638
and that my allegiance is recognized.

0:01:07.638,0:01:09.761
I don't know-- notice me, senpai!

0:01:09.761,0:01:11.146
Notice me!

0:01:11.146,0:01:12.172
(crowd murmuring)

0:01:12.172,0:01:13.108
- (protester 1) Jesus!

0:01:13.108,0:01:14.378
- (protester 2) Lord, remove--

0:01:14.378,0:01:15.781
- (reporter) Protesters [br]took the heavy rainfall

0:01:15.781,0:01:18.838
as some sort of sign [br]and even brought their own statue

0:01:18.838,0:01:20.841
of an angel crushing the devil.

0:01:20.841,0:01:23.033
- Part of me wishes that angel statue [br]would come to life

0:01:23.033,0:01:24.562
and King Behemoth would rise,

0:01:24.562,0:01:26.334
and two eternal juggernauts [br]would do battle

0:01:26.334,0:01:27.986
right here in the middle of the city.

0:01:27.986,0:01:30.121
But for what is this battle raging, you ask?

0:01:30.121,0:01:30.679
I dunno.

0:01:30.679,0:01:32.114
What stands at the center?

0:01:32.114,0:01:34.473
To that, I say, "My soul is at the center,

0:01:34.473,0:01:38.632
offered up to the ageless ones,[br]only to be torn in twain."

0:01:38.632,0:01:40.842
- (reporter) The unveiling [br]here in Detroit is historic.

0:01:40.842,0:01:44.235
The Satan statue has never [br]before been seen publicly.

0:01:44.235,0:01:47.880
The Satanic temple says the statue is [br]a symbol for what they advocate:

0:01:47.880,0:01:49.876
the separation of Church and State.

0:01:49.876,0:01:51.812
- It's like you can't have one [br]without the other, you know?

0:01:51.812,0:01:53.533
Like I'm equal parts God and the Devil;

0:01:53.533,0:01:55.212
a cloak of shame covers this man

0:01:55.212,0:01:57.493
and only supreme light [br]will wash my body clean.

0:01:57.493,0:01:59.240
But how could that light possibly reach me

0:01:59.240,0:02:02.204
with the thick clouds of indecency [br]that surround my poor soul?

0:02:02.204,0:02:04.091
So I carry my wrong-doings on my back

0:02:04.091,0:02:05.532
like some kind of tormented hiker,

0:02:05.532,0:02:06.963
lost in the hills of misfortune,

0:02:06.963,0:02:09.653
looking desperately for that peak[br]to rescue him from the valley

0:02:09.653,0:02:11.823
of depraved, habitual self-pleasuring.

0:02:11.823,0:02:15.165
But again, I find nothing except [br]for sweaty, devastated loneliness

0:02:15.165,0:02:17.412
and a thousand judging eyes [br]staring back at me

0:02:17.412,0:02:19.872
from the cover of [br]a stolen Victoria's Secret catalogue.

0:02:19.872,0:02:21.746
I didn't take your mail, Mrs. Pemberton!

0:02:21.746,0:02:23.128
Stop asking me that!

0:02:23.128,0:02:24.593
(shrilly) Leave me alone!!!

0:02:24.593,0:02:29.708
(crowd murmurs)

0:02:33.328,0:02:34.793
Satan's pretty cool.

0:02:35.573,0:02:38.496
- Now, it's important to know [br]that the Satan statue

0:02:38.496,0:02:40.115
will not stay here in Detroit.

0:02:40.115,0:02:43.155
The Satanic temple wants[br]to take the statue to Arkansas.

0:02:43.155,0:02:45.098
The state capitol there,[br]there is a monument

0:02:45.098,0:02:46.322
to the Ten Commandments.

0:02:46.322,0:02:48.858
They want to put the statue [br]next to it as a form of protest.

0:02:48.858,0:02:52.124
So again, the Satan statue [br]will not stay here in Detroit.

0:02:52.124,0:02:54.256
Reporting live, I'm Priya Mann, Local 4.

0:02:54.256,0:02:56.298
- My, the controversy will move South.
