Hmmmm - just a bunch of innocent bystanders (calling themselves Acts 17 Apologists - no inference there) with cameras (more than one placed around the area) out for a stroll by going to an ethnic fest to challenge the core beliefs of the sponsors and prove them wrong ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_apologists ) - arguing with a continuum of size two hatted 'security' (Ha!) personnel. Notice how the main actor outright lies to the police - "I was only trying to leave" - about what he was doing at the end of the video after accusing everyone else of lying to the security personnel during the various confrontations?

No propaganda in this video - kinda like a Klan march down Peachtree in Atlanta on MLK Day or those good Christian ffolkes from Kansas picketing a military funeral.

This video and the text of the article would be a good piece on the dangers of propaganda and POV to dissect and analyze in a PSYOPs course - not entirely true and not entirely false - but enough of each to be manipulated by any choosing to do so - which the makers of the video and the writer of the article do. Sad - and one of the problems of the WWW - for everyone.

YMMV
