Anonymous Vs. Scientology
I'm just going to copy/paste from my post on another site, because this is serious fucking business.——————————————-DIGG: http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Video_of_Riot_Police_Arresting_Anonymous_Leader_in_Atlanta——————————————–Breaking news from Atlanta.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_GK-9O8glUtl;dr:March 15 was the next scheduled date for global picketing of Scientology, after the massive successes that occurred globally on February 10.On Feb. 10, Atlanta CoS deployed riot police, but the protest was peaceful and went without incident.Fast forward to today.Riot police arrive again (Even after Anon demonstrated their peaceful intentions on 2/10). Cops randomly arrest guy with megaphone (Calling him the "Leader" of Anonymous… Anyone familiar with Anon knows that it has no leaders). Accuse him of "not having a permit" even though Anonymous members was repeatedly told over the phone by the police department that they did not need one. They take him away.Later, they pull over every car that honks in support of the protesters. Apparently, honking your horn is now illegal. Anon tries to help by posting a "Don't honk you'll get a ticket" sign.It's all clear as day in the video.I for one, am outraged. As an American, I question, what the living fuck ever happened to our First Amendment rights?Quick Edit: It's the DeKalb police, not Atlanta. DeKalb is located near Atlanta.—————————————————Update: Here is the speech that led to the arrests. ("Noise violations," in a relatively empty and unpopulated location, mind you)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dexAtZ54SgHollywood can't write shit this good.
Well, what happened to everything good about America?
Don't need a permit? Yeah, they'll tell you that, then they'll deny it. Don't believe them. It's very important to get a written permit, because words can be denied.
I feel sorry for them since they got nothing better to do than stand around and pretend like theyre accomplishing something other than a free ride to jail.(do not pass go do not collect $200)
I would've gotten a permit anyways, written, official is better than spoken.
Our rights are slowly being leeched by the government so that it can become more powerful [Patriot Act, etc.] They make us CHOOSE to give up rights by scaring us [9-11, terrorism, etc]
Besides, most ALL popular religions are guilty to SOME degree of corruption.I HATE public protesters. It's inefficient and disorganized.
But I hate scientology aswell, as I hate ALL organized religion, especially heavily COMMERCIALIZED religion like christianity [namely catholicism] and I'm not talkin' bout xmas!Not to offend: It's the people, not the religion.
Wow… see, there is something wrong with that whole scenario, people should be allowed to protest against a fluffy-bunny-rescue centre, never mind anything more sinister.
Meh, CoS is well above all of us, nobody can't really do anything to take them down.
