Anonymous Vs. Scientology

I'm just going to copy/paste from my post on another site, because this is serious fucking business.

Breaking news from Atlanta.

tl;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)
