DC Protest 17 July - Sparrows Revenge!

Thanks TAJ....time to do some invest work...

I wouldn't be surprised if they are just friends or relatives of someone who is on lines.

The Church probably paid them to be there thinking it would intimidate the protestors.

A professional PI wouldn't do something that can come back to haunt him if there are cameras on him.

Just a guess.

If they are hired security, do they have to identify themselves to the police?

On video 181.3 at around 5:40, and a bit before and after, Sparrow got a good long shot of the tall guy's upper back, and I'm fairly certain I can make out a gun harness under his suit.

This I do not like at all.

Cool. If that's the case then the cop probably would have noticed that too.

And I think that means in DC that he is licensed to carry it. so the DC police must have seen his credentials.

So they are probably professional security people.

Church of Scientology brings gunmen to a cookout--they would love that headline in Clearwater!

I would feel better if gun toting guy and the other "security" were solely making an appearance at this cookout, but as we've seen, they've been around other times when there is no police presence, and tall guy's buddy seems intent on threatening Sparrow. Bad mojo. Do not like.

Well done, Sparrow and friends! I especially loved it when the "guest" offered you a plate of the scio's food!

Sidenote on all that police presence -- several officers, several cars, van, etc.:

Police salaries and equipment are paid for by taxpayers -- usually from property taxes.

Scientology doesn't pay any taxes on its fancy new building.

Therefore, the people these police offers are supposedly protecting, are not paying them for their efforts; whereas, anonymous protestors ARE paying taxes, directly on property they own or indirectly on property they rent.

Someone might want to point that out to the police the next time so many show up.

(Good they were there, though -- probably protected the protestors from the scientologists, who seemed to be on the verge of assaulting them several times.)

I was wondering about that I assumed the cult was paying the police to be there, since there was absolutely no point for them to be there otherwise.

I loved the great comeback after the assault and declare. And a police guard while you chalked the sidewalk for half a block. NICE! :D

Scilons not happy, lol.

You may be right -- perhaps they were paid by the cult for that particular event. I don't know how that works. I assumed that police are always "on call" as "public servants" -- seems like paying them "extra" for your own private event borders on bribery and corruption? But I don't know.

No....they don't normally get the Police like that......the hired thug harem eunuch guards the scilons paid, but the police presence was not "hired" by them. That said, there were WAY more police at this raid than any in the past....and that was a good thing IMO, given how the cult is escalating its "defense" with death threats against protesters........
