Scientology has a lengthy history of abuse of the legal system.<br/><br/>People who protest Scientology are always advised to take film cameras with them, for two reasons:<br/><br/>1) Scientologists have often files false police complaints against protesters.  It helps to have film that disproves their version of events.<br/><br/>2) Scientologists have often become violent and otherwise abusive toward protesters.  Here too it helps to have film that proves this.<br/><br/>The lady -- one of many people blocked by Scientologists -- is said to live up the street. It would have been stupid to use someone who can so easily be traced as a plant.  <br/><br/>Living in such close proximity to a Scientology mission, the woman would be well familiar with the behavior of Scientologists. <br/><br/>Another thing: Anonymous does not need plants of any kind to make Scientologists look bad.  The record shows that Scientologists are perfectly capable of making themselves look bad.]]></content><score></score><crdate>7/15/2008 4:16:38 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-07-15T16:16:38+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>289728</id><url>http://www.plime.com/l/68786/1/xml_widget.rss#q3</url><title><![CDATA[heymrp @ 7/15/2008 10:08:31 AM]]></title><content><![CDATA[I think the &quot;bad people&quot; lady was a plant designed to create a video moment for the intentional purpose of making the Scientologists look bad.
