  • anon1532, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1Scare tactics in Atlanta, Georgia (DeKalb County) and Orlando, Florida, and now Los Angeles, California. It continues.
  • treed, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Even if he was brandishing or wasn't, he still wasn't arrested.
  • FreedomToThink, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1In the everlasting interest of fairness and truth.
    I see nothing to indicate he was a '"self-admitted" scientologist' though, only that he was most likely at the very least in their employ somehow as he was apparently caught walking out of their building, and happily strolling on 'their' sidewalk.
    And the title is sensationalist, he was not arrested, merely pulled aside, questioned briefly and let go after showing his permit.

    You must be accurate yourself, and point out inaccuracies if you recognize them in other sources, otherwise the CoS will use it against the cause.
  • gfreeman223, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1Brandishing is a misdemeanor even in carry states (which California obviously is not), dumbass.
  • FreedomToThink, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1I await to see them, but apparently protesters have pictures of him flashing it at the crowd, that's oh i don't know,
    Harassment?
    Creating offensive or hazardous conditions?
    Terrorism?
    All of the above?

    (Edit, oh, a misdemeanor known as 'brandishing' even in carry states it seems)

    hell of a lot worse than giving a speech as the poor kids in Atlanta were arrested and charged with :
    1. Protesting without a permit
    2. Creating offensive or hazardous conditions.
  • SocalAnon, on 03/17/2008, -0/+0Buried for being inaccurate.

    Full video, along with his reappearance later in the protest is here:
