    Don’t post pictures of yourself online

    Also don’t bring your phone with you, or at least turn it off or put it in plane mode.

    What a gross waste of tax-payer money and police time. Fuck the scientologist hucksters.

    Just a bunch of lawyers invoicing the rich to allow them to do immoral things and write it off as a charity donation.

    What’s the likelihood that the “climbed over and into police vehicles” is 90% of the reason the police care enough to put any resources into a serious investigation?

      Nah, if you’re stupid enough to film yourself while doing crimes you deserve everything you get. And I say that fully condoning these scientology runs.

    It’s good to know that protesting the Cult of Scientology hasn’t gone out of fashion.

      I don’t think they’re protesting. They’re just following a trend which I guess at least draws attention to it.

    Sure, but best not to do illegal shit. However, if you are doing performative illegal shit because you feel angry with some aspects of an institution(s) you find questionable, perhaps find someone to give the reasons for your speedrunning or whatever you’re performing otherwise you might end up with a criminal record and that’s going to stuff up your life choices a bit.

      The reason is (mostly?) lolz.

      Which is far from evil here. At least mask up or whatever to the point of not being (facial recognition + legally) identifiable before posting to your social media about someone who isn’t me (SWIM). As per OP, opsec, learn to love it or learn regrets.

        Yes, i agree it’s not evil. They’re kids. It’s the melding of cyber reality with physical reality together with the illegal action that makes me a bit nervous.
