First of all, a "permanent injunction" is only for a lifetime if it is not challenged in the courts. Anyone listed on that injunction can appeal it at any time, and a judge can override it.
Thank you.
The temporary injunction was made permanent after the judge ruled that it was impossible for the protesters & Scientologists to get along peacefully, and the constant friction between the parties was a threat to public safety.
The injunction did not say that the parties could not protest the cult; only that they could not protest in the BLUE areas, but they could protest in the ORANGE areas.
I don't know the boundaries of the orange areas.. maybe you can explain that.
Frankly this injunction was even confusing to the POLICE.
I don't remember....my suggestion is take a look at that injunction. It should explain it.
CONCLUSION:
Inasmuch as both the Petitioner and the Respondent have engaged in and continue to engage in the dangerous and threatening practice of seeing how close one another can get to each other while protesting, picketing, and demonstrating each other, have blocked or inhibited the free flow of foot traffic on the public sidewalks, have blocked the flow of traffic on the public roadways, have inhibited the egress and ingress of the parties from their respective buildings, and
have physically touched or attacked each other, it is imperative that all parties must be mutually restrained.

Thanks for providing this.
This video is compelling.. it shows how angry the judge is in dealing with the issue of protests, in general, and that he took the position that all the nastiness that occurred in Scientology protests was mutual, which caused alot of problems with the CPD.
I believe that is you sitting next to John Merritt at the table, right?
