Well that was an epic day all round. Me & Tsuki where late thanks to engineering works on the train again, but its ok, we where only delayed by about quater of an hour.
When we arrived, Anonymous was hard at work already. The table had been set out, and fliers, food and win was laid out on it. We set up two flags and an xbox hueg banner saying "SCIENTOLOGY=CULT xenu.net" Signs saying "Scientology destroys families" and "Scientology kills" where also added.
Drunk Jedi had the Internet Hate Machine/trollcannon so we had musaks, and an0nand0n and Basil both helpfully brought megaphones (Yep, thats right, Basil's proffesional standards made an appearence), so we where never short of LOUD NOISES!
For most of the day, we handed out fliers. We've got no reliable account of flier numbers, but it must've been a metric crapton. Easily more than 2500 where brought, and by the end of the day, almost all were gone!
Scientologist presence was minimal. Obviously they didn't want to expose their members to dangerous entheta. We got a brief appearence from Alan Stone, everybodies favorite OSA wannabe, and we met a Scifag who we'd seen before but had no details for. He was confrontational and agressive, applying middle finger tech several times, and even once "foul mouth tech" as in 'FUCK OFF YOU CUNTS!" He didn't appear to like our "Scientology's closed due to Thetans" sticker either... He ripped it off with some force, only for it to be replaced by Jedi a few moments later.
We got the occasional troll. A few chavs insisting they were Scientologists (blatantly not- just trolls) and one guy insisting several times that what we where doing was illegal. No explanation as to which law we where breaking, he just kept saying "Its illegal. You need to stop. What you're doing is illegal". This troll was made more lulzy by the fact a few seconds (litterally) after he left, two coppers showed up and told us everything was fine and to carry on as we where!
Another troll came later with a little chavlette talking in a (fail) Borat accent, which was pretty funny at first, but began to wear thin as he continually tried to steal our masks and signs. This provoked a brilliant off-the-top-of-his-head response from Sku. He said to the Borat chavlette: "Do you have any of your own humour?" to which the response was "fuck off" and the kid to flounce off in a huff...
teh_platypus had been in contact with some uni students (I think they where students) who where making a doco about Scientology. They came to our protest and took a lot of footage and then interviewed me, plat and Jedi. We managed to fit in all sorts of stuff, eg the RPF, Lisa McPherson, Disconnection, Fair Game, David Miscavidge being a dickwad etc...
At about 4pm everyone suddenly realised it was beer o'clock, and the protest was hurredly packed away. We then retired to the PUB. I won't go into all the drunken antics that occured, but many lulz where had when some enterprising Anon discovered that their jukebox had "Never Gonna Give You Up" on it. Fail dancing ensued. The pub we went to was a local channer haunt, so we where well accepted their. We spent most of the night adding to the channer graffiti in the toilet, my personal fav being where someone had written DESU about 100 times on a cubical wall, and someone had written "SOMEBODY PLEASE sage this wall" above it. Needless to say, the wall was epiclly saged.
an0nand0n got a wee bit pissed so me, Jedi and DA had to keep and eye on her back to the station, but in the end all was well.
tl;dr: epic raid is epic
