sweeney has nothing to apologize for. Bloody Scientology should close shop, they need to stop attempting to slide unnoticed into the class of religion. Looks like a cult, sounds like a cult....low and behold a bloody cult

had my mind blown...scientology may be the scariest proof of mankind's demise into idiocy and its abject willingness to take complete advantage of others. Seriously insane. John Sweeney, keep doing what you are doing. You may be a great pioneer into the exposure and ultimate demise of this criminal cult known as Scientology

i'd like to verbally abuse and generally harass the guy at 3:35 and see if he loses his cool.

i have attempted to post this comment 3 times now, in the process having to sign in again even though i hadn't logged out... you mad, scientology?

Why apologise for getting angry after a man follows, abuses and intimidates you constantly. That Sweeney must 'apologise' is an example of the American infection in the world about what 'free speech and freedom' is. In the American definition, such freedoms allow what that church representative did - it's his right to get in people's faces, abuse, threaten and rant at them ... apparently ... as long as you don't cause physical harm. For a 'land of the free', it shows a very limited view.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship presents UFC 134: Sweeney vs. Davis Live from the O2 Arena in London, England only on PPV.

Tommy Davis is almost obviously a verbal abuser. He spews word vomit at you until you break down, which I suspect is a tactic the "church" uses to "convert" people as well.

Tommy Davis is a mass twatface.... fairplay? BRING IT ONN!!!!

The most fascinating part of this documentary is how the cult representative seems to genuinely believe that by being a raging, stalker asshole he's making the church look good. But then again, he might be cognizant of this, since the counter-documentary being recorded by the cult during the film was probably meant to be viewed by cult members and not the general public.
