- anon93752, on 03/12/2008, -12/+1176The right to assemble and speak is part of the United States' FIRST AMENDMENT, Co$! Your cult is afraid of freedom of speech!
- Drkgodess, on 03/12/2008, -9/+661Just more proof that $camology is anti-free speech.
- skmike, on 03/12/2008, -11/+521Why are they so afraid of our message?
- AXNJAXN, on 03/12/2008, -3/+464How do you enforce a restraining order against a large group of anonymous persons?
- chromerium, on 03/12/2008, -5/+390"Excuse me, but there is a court order restraining the group Anonymous from protesting here."
"Oh, I'm not part of Anonymous."
"Who are you with then?"
"The general population."
... - HailXenu, on 03/12/2008, -6/+348The Church of Scientology is actually trying to subvert the First Amendment... I'd say I didn't believe it, but nothing surprises me these days.
But just think about it:
They are actually trying to suppress our unalienable rights, as citizens of the United States, our right to peaceably assemble. As far as I know, nothing untoward happened in the last protest in Clearwater, so they have no case. If they have proof that individuals have threatened their church, they should take specific legal actions against those involved. But this is just an attempted subversion of the Constitution, plain and simple. This proves again that the Church of Scientology is, quite simply and undeniably, anti-free speech.
Also, they're breaking their own "Youth for Human Rights" rule:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y37zD6a1g1I - MurkyMoose, on 03/12/2008, -4/+314Once again the CoS is attacking the very democracy we all love. This is an attack on our constitutional rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech.
This is yet another action from this litigious organization that quell any resistance and wants the first amendment gone.
They have already hogtied the big media and now this?
If this passes through in any way, we will know for sure who they got in their pockets! - SuiseisekiDesu, on 03/12/2008, -2/+199I wasn't going to be able to attend this weekend's protests, but after reading this story, I've cancelled my meetings with my clients. I'll be there! Scientology won't get away with this abuse.
- michelspc, on 03/12/2008, -1/+179From the article:
"Representatives of Anonymous could not be reached for comment." - madpie, on 03/12/2008, -2/+168for that matter, how do you provide proof of service of a group of anonymous people? "We sent a copy to their last known address ... oh, wait, we have no idea who they are...."
- HeroofTime55, on 03/12/2008, -6/+167lolscientology.
When will they learn? - grez0, on 03/12/2008, -2/+150Screenshot: http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/696/cosinjunction ...
- FreddyO, on 03/12/2008, -3/+150This is disgusting! A restraining order against peaceful protestors - who do they think they are? They use the legal system to make a mockery of our democracy. They have gone too far now. This Saturday, FreddyO will definitely be PROTESTING this menacing organization that dares to call itself a "Church." The lawnmowing will just have to wait.
- rebotfc, on 03/12/2008, -6/+152First they ignore you,
then they ridicule you,
then they fight you,
then you win. - SHv2, on 03/12/2008, -2/+144Don't you need actual names to get a restraining order? If not, hell, I want a restraining order against people in general.
- nitheea, on 03/12/2008, -3/+141Oh, this is just so stupid!
How can you restrain the internet? - acis1, on 03/12/2008, -11/+139restrain this 8==============>
- xenuxenuts, on 03/12/2008, -1/+114Obviously you have to ban anonymity.
- slowdowns, on 03/12/2008, -5/+117The totalitarian UFO cult strikes again.
- fictionalOne, on 03/12/2008, -1/+106"Representatives of Anonymous could not be reached for comment." This just made me laugh!
- unusualbob, on 03/12/2008, -3/+107If this ***** gets through our legal system...
Solution:
Police- Hi um I am sorry but you cant protest here because Scientology has a restraining order against you guys.
You- Oh don't worry, I am not a part of Anonymous, I just think that the fact that Scientology is ruining our society as a whole and brainwashing people completely sucks.
Police- So whats with the mask if you arent a part of anonymous?
You- Oh well Scientology has a history of attacking people who dont like it, this is just for my own protection.
Police- Oh ok well as long as you arent with Anonymous. - RealmDown, on 03/12/2008, -1/+104It hurts their bottom line.
- weedbag, on 03/12/2008, -20/+120BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW BAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW PPLZ IS TRYIN 2 PROTIZT MY RILIJUN BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW
- cheesebob, on 03/12/2008, -2/+100wtf? just another attempt to silence truth.
GUESS WHAT!?
the truth does hurt.
specially when you're following the teaching of some god-complexed scifi writer.
and not even a good one, at that. - c05m0, on 03/12/2008, -6/+89This guy's a top notch reporter. How can you NOT find an Anon rep?
- SgtAl, on 03/12/2008, -2/+85The courts are the cults #1 weapon against the truth. In Clearwater Florida they own the police so dont be surprised if some people are arrested this weekend on trumped up charges. There is absolutely no tactics that are too low for the followers of L Ron Hubtard.
- theroc82, on 03/12/2008, -3/+84This just shows how desperate they are. Pathetic
- reuscel, on 03/12/2008, -1/+80How exactly do they plan on bringing a suit against an organization founded on the anonymity of its members? Oh, that's right. They're Scientologists. Reason eludes them.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -0/+78General population never forgives
General population never forgets
General population is legion - inactive, on 03/12/2008, -3/+79Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.
- bairey, on 03/12/2008, -2/+78Oh dear, we'll all be in trouble when they find the stack of secret contracts we all signed upon joining the Association of Anonymous, LLC.
Personally, on March 15 I was planning on being Incognito, so no TRO will apply to me. - tksparks, on 03/12/2008, -4/+79Scientology - *The Church of Gutless Wonders*
- DarthShaun, on 03/12/2008, -10/+81Also, *****.
- RealmDown, on 03/12/2008, -2/+73And anti-common sense
- Semprini, on 03/12/2008, -4/+66They just made their enemies stronger.
Big fail by the cult. - astroknave, on 03/12/2008, -7/+68Stupid scientology.
You can't issue a restraining order against an idea. Which is all anonymous is.
It is obvious that they are trying to flush out a "leader" who will show up in court to "represent" anonymous.
Stupid Scientology. No court will go for this. The jim crow days when someone like the KKK could pull a stunt like this and get away with it are long gone. - Spuy767, on 03/12/2008, -8/+68As much as I hate Westboro Baptist Church's spewing of their viewpoint, I shall fight to the death for their right to spew it. If we allow a church to picket the funeral of homosexuals or actors who protrayed homosexuals in movies, and a restraining order is issued against a group of people to prevent them from protesting at a church function, then that is a clear violation of the seperation of church and state and will be a matter taken to the supreme court.
- Sharky35, on 03/12/2008, -3/+60What are their CRIMES?
- acis1, on 03/12/2008, -3/+58A larger protest is planned Saturday in downtown Clearwater, where the church's international religious headquarters are located. "We are taking every security measure we can," Harney said. "We are not taking this lightly."
- modemac, on 03/12/2008, -3/+58Welcome to the strange and bizarre world of Scientology legal actions. Do some research on the antics they've pulled over the years and you will be AMAZED at the stunts they've pulled in court.
"I cannot see how the cult actually believes this will help them at all." If it keeps Anonymous away from their convention hall on Saturday, then it helps them. They don't CARE about the legal ramifcations or what happens after that. Scientology knows how to take the most obscure legal action and drag it into a major court battle that lasts for months, if not years. The courtroom is their home turf, and that's what they want. Above all, remember the sacred words of LRH: "The purpose of the lawsuit is not to win, but to harass." They are throwing legal mud at Anonymous to see what will stick. If it works, they will try it all over the country. - astroknave, on 03/12/2008, -5/+59No one represents ANON. Anon is no one and everyone.
- gn0stik, on 03/12/2008, -2/+56FTA: "Representatives of Anonymous could not be reached for comment."
- chromerium, on 03/12/2008, -2/+52Ignored? Tick.
Ridiculed? Tick.
Fight? In progress ...
One more step to go! - minoss, on 03/12/2008, -3/+51Wow, they STILL don't get this whole anonymous thing. Amazing. Apparently the reporter doesn't either:
"Representatives of Anonymous could not be reached for comment." - Mejari, on 03/12/2008, -6/+54I'm using my psychic powers to divine the contents of that restraining order. Praise Xenu!

Dear Internets,
Plz don't protest, k? We don't want to have to use our guys with machine guns. Oh wait, yes we do. Nevermind. See you saturday!
Luv,
Your Friendly Neighborhood $cilons - vanrana, on 03/12/2008, -3/+49CoS is not a religion; it is a joke. That is why it is so afraid of criticism.
- evil-doer, on 03/12/2008, -1/+43anonymous isnt the internet, anonymous is people, ITS PEOPLE
- HeDiggMe, on 03/12/2008, -2/+42This totally reminds me of an old Onion headline about "Bush demands al Qaeda form country so we can bomb it".
- Chromatik, on 03/12/2008, -2/+39Dear Scientology,
go ***** yourself.
Sincerely,
Us - Kurlumbenus, on 03/12/2008, -2/+38Oh ***** THEY HAVE AWAKENED THE SLEEPING GIANT that is FreddyO!
