'''nohurry.mp3''' ([http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/audio/nohurry.mp3 here]) is one of the three (so far) mp3s linked to on the [[Another Version of the Truth (website)|Another Version of the Truth]] forums. It is about a son of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam Imam] who is killed by a SWAT team looking for a Muslim extremist.

==Transcription==

*Distortion

Peter: Police in Michigan today launched a daring daylight raid on the compound of a Muslim cleric with links to Post-Iranian suicide brigades. Joyce Pearson is a spokesperson for the Saginaw police department.

Joyce Pearson: Our money-for-laws program is paying off. We received a tip that a well-known Muslim dissident had not only attended services at a mosque in Saginaw, but (sadly?) he consulted the Imam on so-called charitable fund raising.

Peter: But what that really means is funneling money to terrorists, right Joyce?

Joyce Pearson: Well, Peter, that's why we decided to investigate.

*Distortion

Unknown Voice: So the cops are breaking up another dangerous terrorist cell, right? Only there was a kid in the fucking room when the S.W.A.T. team busted in. And she was on a cell phone. I got that file and now so do you. Here's another version of the truth.

*Distortion

Girl on phone: Uh, I don't know. Just watch TV I guess. You can come over if you want. I mean, I'm not going to do anything else...

*sound of SWAT members breaking in

SWAT members: Get down on the floor! Get down, get down! DOWN!

Unknown voice: I'm down! I'm down!

SWAT member 1: One male, some kid. Looks like the son. Your dad runs a mosque.

The son: He's the Imam.

SWAT member: And we know he's supposed to have a very important meeting today. Who is that with?

The son: I don't know.

SWAT member: We have video of a known radical at the last service, so I'm asking you again, who is he meeting?

The son: I don't know, asshole.

SWAT member: What did you say? You got something to say to me, punk? Huh?! Say it now, say it again! Say what you said! *Sounds of someone being beaten*

Girl on phone (in background): No! Stop! *Cries* He didn't do-

The son: Look! The fucking Sunday school strangler went to the Church of Plano, nobody arrested his-

SWAT member: You're a liar!!! Where's your dad?!

*Sounds of SWAT member beating the son, a number of screams

Girl on phone (in background): Don't, don't! He didn't do anything! Please stop!

SWAT member: Where is your dad? Hey! Hey! Look at me!

Girl on phone (in the background): He's... *Cries*

SWAT member: Shit. Hey, kid! Hey! Can you hear me?

*Radio sounds in background

SWAT member (on radio): One juvenile male assaulting an officer. He was subdued. We're going to need an EMT, no hurry.

*rumbling sounds

Peter: One arab was killed in a raid when he attacked police officers with a knife. Police believe he may have been on drugs.

The end of the recording has another Morse Code message. <br>

It has been decoded to be: [[24.10.1]]<br>

== Possible Inspiration ==

The transcript reads a lot like the infamous (real-world/non-ARG) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyvrqcxNIFs taser incident] at UCLA, in which a [[http://www.newu.uci.edu/showArticle.php?id=5180 student of Iranian decent with US citizenship]] got tased for resisting the police. The tasing did not do permanent damage of course, nor did the officers in UCLA seem to directly retaliate to verbal abuse the way it happens here.
