Weird Shooting At The Scientology Centre

This is some weird news, but I guess since it happened on the grounds of the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, it's not so weird?

A man in his 40s drove up to the Centre in a red convertible yesterday afternoon. He got out of his car and approached three security guards carrying two 5-foot samurai swords in each hand. This shit sounds like just a regular afternoon down in Tommy Girl's sex dungeon. Unfortunately, it was not and one of the security guards shot the man with a semiautomatic handgun. According to the police, the surveillance video showed the man waving the swords at the guards. One of the HBICs of the LAPD said, "The evidence is very clear the security officers were defending their safety."

The police said that the man was involved with the Scientologists a long time ago, but they aren't sure what his relationship was with them.

Was shooting the dude really necessary? Couldn't they taser him or better yet, sic Jenna Elfman's crazy ass on him.

And it's nice to know that "so-called church" guards are carrying guns. Does this mean that nuns carry glocks in their garters?

I saw this headline and just cracked up. As someone else mentioned, it seems totally natural that weird fuckers are attracted to cults.

Yeah. They pretty much own Clearwater, Fla. The cops are on "their" side, all the time. I wonder how much stock they own in Hollyweird.

Here is an interesting analysis of scientology - a subject that has held about as much interest for us as a dog turd.

Some say that Tammy Cruise is the number two in command of the whole thing(then who is number one?):

There are a lot of cults that are entrenched in the upper echelons of society (or at least the political and entertainment worlds) including Mormonism and Scientology. I don't have any personal experience with Scientology other than dodging the people giving out "Free Stress Tests" in the subway station, but I was a Mormon for 4 years and it was definitely the most insane period of my life. When Mitt Romney was in the running for President, I was scared to death!

Anyway, cults are scary, particularly when they are as wealthy and powerful as Scientology. Like someone said, the guy could have been walking up there with a butter knife and the tapes would have still "shown" that he was threatening the guards. I wonder how closely affiliated they are with the LAPD (which is truly the finest of all police forces, anyway).

I mean, the Scienos have KILLED people -- and practically own the city of Clearwater -- and nobody does anything? People still go to John Travolta and Tom Cruise's movies? It's insane to me.

First, I think it's cool that Dlisters are discussing word endings! hee hee Second, I think the American objection to "-re" is based on the fact it's used in the UK and France: it seems snooty or toffy to us. However, I still struggle not to spell "theatre"; it seems better spelled that way....

It is cool, but probably too early in the day/week to have...
And considering it's the CO$ (that used that spelling), we shouldn't take it too seriously anyxenu.

I am not surprised there was a shooting. What I cannot believe is how much freedom this cult has in the US. I know we have them here (at least here we put them in a shithole near Gatwick) but they seem so ingrained in the US echelons of power?

It doesn't matter what the tapes show-money talks. Look at the members of the celebrity center-they all have money. That man could have walked up there with a butter knife, and if he was still shot, I'm sure the tapes would "show" that he intended to harm the guards.
How any person can get involved in this idiotic cult is beyond me. Especially since so much has been revealed about $cientology. I guess you get what you pay for.
