Well, I was there, were you?
It was actually a really good turnout, we had about 150 people which was about as many as we could fit along the side of the road without blocking the pavement. The police were there to keep order and in case we decided to do anything stupid, but to be honest I don’t think anyone had any intentions of doing anything like that. One ironic thing was that one of my friends who turned up to protest has told me in the past that she’s a creationist Christian. She claims to hate scientology because it’s obviously a load of rubbish and it takes advantage of depressed people… bit strange really.
We noticed about 5 or 6 different people inside the building. They were photographing and videoing us, so we’ll see what becomes of that. All it’ll show is a big group of people standing there, singing and cheering when cars beep support. Nothing illegal there.
Although I don’t think it’s the most important or controversial topic at the moment, it was good to get noticed and have more people on board with the issue. Scientology is a cult, there’s no doubt about it. It takes people into it, separates them from their friends and family, takes their money away from them and resists letting them leave. It’s extremely secretive and exclusive, and they’re very hostile to people who oppose it.
Anyway I’m going to see if I can figure out how to upload the pictures. There are some great ones.

This was EPIC WIN.
Also, nice to see you have a scientologist commenting on your other post! I love how it was just a blatant robotic copy ‘n’ paste job…
…by a blatant robotic CULT member.

It was indeed epic win. I’m really glad that it got rickrolled, and they were playing Chocolate Rain as well, totally appropriate for an internet group.

Don’t forget the Fresh Prince of Bel Air as well…

Awesome, that’s quite a turnout! So how many folk honked?

Loads! We didn’t get a single bus to honk as far as I know, but we did get an ambulance and the army!
