[anoni81b4u]

I HOPE THE KID GETS A GOOD LAWYER !

[AXISOFHENDRIX]

Scifitoligist or Shitolgist-- take youre pick

[masluxx]

oh my a scientologist threaten me with a bomb threat. so should i hire a bunch of off duty cop goons to pound them? I did not know the badge is for hire like that.

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Ones again the media on the side of the wealthy. 

[Notasheep187]

Faggot protesters Scientology is cool LULz never mention give you up........RCKROLLD

[YouSuckPeriod]

2:05 Nothing but lies and bullshit from this geezer. They do nothing but sue you so they can do a frivolous lawsuits and accuse people on doing anything.

[devo85x]

I would tell them to take it off for me then file assault charges... WE ARE ANONYMOUS! WE ARE LEGION! WE DO NOT FORGIVE! WE DO NOT FORGET! WE WILL BE BACK!

[mebeluvined]

fucking bullshit~they always lie about that bomb threat bull...and anyone can legally walk down a public street with a bag on their head if they wanted, GRRRR- so frustrating when dealing with a CULT

[MrWinston1984]

Even if he didn't leave he was well within his rights to walk on a public street. Scientology is such a weird fucking cult even as far as cults go.

[JapanAnonymous]

$cientology is so full of shit.

[tbowlegs]

I guess that I am not exactly in the bible belt anymore! I can't believe they are here!

[CountryGentleman83]

Stupid people. Anonymous isn't a "group". It's simply Anonymous because the people that post are anonymous. LOL So anyone can say any thing or post any thing. Ugh idiots.

[SkankBangertonsays]

At the CMA show 2 weeks ago, Scientologists were doing volunteer clean up in the park after the concert. Scientologist Elisabeth Donaldson said they gave out 26,000 pieces of Scientology flyers (mostly tickets to see the Dianetics film). I wonder how many of their own material they cleaned up? I saw hundreds of those Dianetics things on the ground between 2nd and 5th ave. Their money goes to wasteful spending on printing which they then volunteer to clean up when they get thrown away.

[OpenComments]

Freedom of religion does not mean freedom to commit crimes in the name of religion. The abuses, corruption, embezzlement, extortion, blackmail and the mind-control practices of Scientology have to be stopped for the sake of all humanity. People have died, families across the world are divided by "disconnection." David Miscavige has mobilized numerous private investigators and spent some $10 million already to discredit, harass and silence key whistle blowers.

[dinoroxxx]

So now off duty cops are the tools of $cilon$ on public sidewalks.

[SkankBangertonsays]

The protesters were looking for trouble. They got they wanted and now they play the victim. They shouldn't have worn masks if they didn't want to be kept away. Anonymous has made bomb threats so anyone wearing those masks is suspect when it comes to Scientology churches.

[TheEvilOfScientology]

"Anonymous has made bomb threats"

Proof? Nope, I didn't think so. Inless of course you're referring to the CoS faked video? I imagine you're the sort of person that would fall for that shit. I could just as easily tell people you are a paedophile. Doesn't mean shit. Could you give me the FBI case number regarding any convictions or arrests for these so-called bomb threats?

"The protesters were looking for trouble"

You're a moron. Fact.

[cheappassion]

Dude, you won't get a responce from these zombies. Just like when in a thread and some one mentions Xenu.... Simply, ignored.....

[sunset261]

Retard. Anonymous doesn't make bomb threats. If people do that then they are doing it on their own or are trying to make bad publicity against anon.

[silbitnuoc]

The police didn't do anything wrong...

same old song everytime.

I guess police/security are not human because they never do anything wrong or break any laws.

[crazyrabbit36]

just start going to the protests armed

[dechha1981]

Aparantly, walking on a public footpath, 3 or 4 houses away, on the oposite side of the street, counts as "Tresspassing".

[silbitnuoc]

Yes, and tax dollars which pay for it are therefore going into private hands by that rationale! This group thinks it is above the law, but how do they convince security and police to go along with it?

[dechha1981]

The thing is, Scilons have been known to lie about things that are happening THERE AND THEN while a CAMERA is there, (eg; they'll place theiur face on someone's camera, and move around with the camera, and then claim the cameraman is the one shoveing the camera in their face) and it's a well known fat that their dogma advocates making up crimnes to accuse their enemies of. So basically I doubt that the threat aligations are true.

[Dakarn]

Making up crimes? You bet! Did you hear that the "church" accused the BBC of making death threats against them while they were doing the Panorama special?

LOL.. How DUMB can you be?

[ShadesOfFall]

There probably were real threats against them, though what you say is true; Scientologists make ship up all the time.

But, you have to remember who the protesters are. 4chan's /b/. You know, that place where child pornography and all other manner of rancid garbage is posted and enjoyed regularly.

Honestly, I'd be more surprised to learn that NOBODY from /b/ made any threats than to learn that they had.

[dechha1981]

Now YOU'RE the one talking like a Scientologist. Arbitrarily accuseing people of pedophelia whever they question Scientology is STRAIGHT out of the Scilon playbook.

[ShadesOfFall]

Let me clarify: I have no idea if the specific people in this video are pedophiles; in fact, they very likely are not, and I think these "rent-a-cops" were out of line.

However, unless you've only been on the internet for a few hours, you'd know that the "anonymous" who started this whole war on Scientology was/is composed primarily of members of 4chan's /b/, which IS full of pedophiles and other piles of human waste who regularly do/say/think all manner of horrible things.

[ShadesOfFall]

To continue:

When he says "this group" he is referring to "anonymous" as a whole and not just this specific group of people (alright, maybe I'm giving him too much credit, but still...) and a good number of "anonymous" most likely DID make bomb/death threats.

Of course, none of this excuses the "cops" idiotic behavior in this clip, or all the other underhanded (understatement of the year) tactics used by Scientologists.

[sunset261]

If they made bomb threats then they are automatically not anon.

[mrlowdangle]

goons, hired goons

[sixstringpsyco]

So many closet dwellers in upper management of the ole cult as well....

[tenchimuyo69]

The masks... intimidate?

No... its so you can't fucking find where I live and sue my ass. Let me keep my fucking mask plox...

[HoneyCallMeAnonymous]

i wonder if KESQ is an NBC affiliate...Regardless, it might interest them to be made aware of what other mainstream journalists have uncovered in their reporting on this matter.

somehow i think that this will end up being a good thing for anonymous.

(i am sorry that the anons had to be subjected to those a-holes)

[HoneyCallMeAnonymous]

looks like the beginning of some bad pr for the church of $camology. Somebody needs to write a country song about it. lol

what douchebags

[TheEvilOfScientology]

"what douchebags"

Sounds like a good title to me...

[HoneyCallMeAnonymous]

haha cue the banjo!

[AnonOrange]

Quite a similar situation that happened to me in Hemet on Oct. 26th.

For those of you that haven't seen it:

/watch?v=3c0uJgMVmKk

Note that the Hemet sherff refused to accept charges on these guards. They still have not been arrested:

Hemet Sheriff Refuses to Press Charges Against Cultist Goons Pt 1

/watch?v=Z7Wx9hqyHeQ

Hope you have better luck filing charges against these officers.

Oh, and BTW, I was NOT trespassing. That will be proven in court.

[cultssuck]

The security firm hired by the Church of Scientology was Hayes Security on Gallatin Road. A representative of the firm said that the matter is being turned over to its attorneys.

Oh dear $cientology, looks like you've done it again. Can you say "Hemet all over again"?

And to the lying $cientology spokesclam-Since Tom Newton was just busted sending a threat to himself while claiming to be Anonymous, I don't think anyone is taking your claims too seriously

Outrageous conduct by the goons

[cultssuck]

The armed people from the other county are not identified police officers," said John M. L. Brown. "You're looking for a problem."

Brown, a Fraternal Order of Police attorney, has been defending police officers for 32 years. He said he finds the officers' actions hard to defend.

"Nashville's a capital city, and there are protests in Nashville with some frequency," he said. "I don't think that mentioning a bologna sandwich is a recognized law enforcement tactic."

[cultssuck]

Public Works pulled all of the permits taken out for the Scientology event. The permits -- all of them for sidewalk closing and lane blocking -- are for the wrong day. They're for the day before the event and expire before the scuffle occurred.

In addition, three of the five security guards were off-duty Spring Hill police officers working in Nashville, which can only be done if local police are notified and officers are wearing uniforms clearly identifying them as off-duty police officers.

[NarkAnon]

The Scientologists are once again using the "lying tech" that they are taught in their "church" to put out that BS about being scared of bomb threats.

It will be interesting to see what the chief of police has to say when confronted with the evidence that the protesters were NOT in the area blocked off by Scientology when they were threatened and tackled by security.

[cultssuck]

From WSMV-4 online:

In a home video, a group of protesters walk toward the Church of Scientology on the day of the church's grand opening and are stopped by security guards, who knock one protester to the ground and have him arrested for criminal trespass.

The altercation happened 400 yards from the church, on the other side of the street.

con't...

[AnonRanGER01]

As if anyone would believe we were fucking dangerous. I mean, seriously, what have WE ever done? The FBI looked into the bomb threat thing and found no connection to Anonymous whatsoever. Doesn't keep the lying piece of shit cult from still claiming it, though. What a shocker!

[trinity12357]

Mirrored. Spread like wildfire!

[csplendrig]

so this is their grand opening, their chance to show everyone what they're all about, to meet the neighbors and the community...and this is how they present themselves

[MARYBLEUZ]

piece of shit lying scilons once again, and the chief of police WTF? They need to do some investigative reporting themselves!

[ARCwhines]

PART TWO NOW UP: watch?v=FoQGI14EkSA

[ARCwhines]

HEADS UP!

Part 2 is out and is being uploaded here shortly.

Watch this space.

[Slicolas]

6 o'clock, 6 o'clock 6 o'clock, 6 o'clock 6 o'clock, 6 o'clock 6 o'clock, 6 o'clock 6 o'clock, 6 o'clock 6 o'clock, 6 o'clock 6 o'clock, 6 o'clock 6 o'clock, 6 o'clock!

Where is it i want it!

[Relyt22]

Was the follow-up video at 6 ever released?

I hope this story spreads far and wide.

[genghis6l99]

the new nazis

[dasboatbabe]

KSW huh Scientology??

The guy Brian at their new stinkin' Org, says that Scientology had to have protection, and that they received bomb threats and death threats ,(LOL! where's the proof LIAR?)

He was seen kidding around with Anonymous protestors at another protest. And there are pictures of it!

He wasn't "SO SCARED" then.

This is So wrong on SO many levels.

This cult has to be stopped.

Hey Nashville show the cult the way out of town!

[AnonyFerret]

The Scilons keep trying out the "bomb / death threat" lies, and, naturally, have never been able to prove these claims. They went so far as to make a professional hi-def DVD that purported to be an Anon-authored video ripped from YouTube; funny how the aspect ratios and quality were far superior to any video one could download online.

They are only "so scared" after they screw up and get nailed for it AGAIN. This also happened in LA. Cultist clowns with Anon, later whines she was "scared."

[SupremeRulahXenu]

Brian Fesler was joking around with masked Anonymous in Minneapolis on February 14th 2009. He even held a protest sign as a joke. So much for being afraid.

There are photographs and vitnesses proving this. The photos are on Flickr. Go to the tinyurl qj5xwe

[expectusagain]

cheif o police is full of shit

/does not tell whole story/?

wtf?

[Cristoforo87]

Fucking Scientology cultists... disgraceful

[FreedomToResearch]

$cientology assaults children on a public sidewalk. This is pathetic and $cientology is a dangerous organized crime cult cloaked as a religeon to get their unfair tax free status after they fair gamed the IRS and their employees

[Bkorczak]

A man was arrested today accused of having sex with a teenager at the Church of Scientology in Cincinnati.

Twenty-one-year-old Ben Kasle is charged with two counts of gross sexual imposition.He had sex with the girl who is now 14-years-old.

Police records indicate the alleged offenses happened at the church on Fourth Street between October 2007 and September 2008.

 The church has no comment since the investigation is ongoing.

He is due in court on May 6th.

Stay safe.

[wiskey1249]

Ah come on folks we've all been told how nice scientologists are. They are nothing but lying bastards. If ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law it sure isn't an excuse for being a scientologist. If the "average" scientologist doesn't know about this shit it is their responsibility to find out.

[shalindriaharam]

posted to EVERYTHING I have (playlist, favorites, fb, myspace) thanks for posting!!!! 5 starz!! mask for intimidation?!!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK SCIENTOLOGY! whiners!

[mollie2810]

Another news coverage showing the cults "ethics". $cientology blaming others of evil things which they can't prove but being on TV with their own crimes all the time.

[anonymom17]

I'm Anonymous and if a cult's renta-cops threw me down like that, I'd blow a hip or something.

Freedom of Speech eh? $cientology?

(And we all know the renta-cops are most likely brainwashed culties themselves).

I'm off to send my e-mails to Dennis at Channel 4 and the Chief of Police as well. Protesters cover their faces for a reason.

I am Anonymous and I'm pissed off.

[Wpganon]

Still going with the "death threats" and "bomb threats" story, Scientology? Only you would contradict your very own Human Rights code of the right to public assembly, you culties.

[Bkorczak]

...and where in hell was Nashville police? What was done was against the law and the law should protect its citizens from violent assholes working for an immitation of a church.

Stay safe.

BK

[kdb955]

I knew scientologists were secretive and creepy, good thing everyone can see they are violent as well.

Thanks for posting ARC
