11 people picketed the Scientology "Bank Building" in downtown Clearwater today from 11am to 1pm. We had some TV coverage and got tons of horn honks and thumbs up from the heavy traffic. It was a hot day but we stuck it out and had fun.

Both Jeff Jacobsen and Mark Bunker had Incident Reports filed by the Clearwater Police over the 10--foot rule in the temporary injunction filed after the Minton-Howd event last October.

We had 4 newbie picketers and they all had a good time and plan to picket again.

Oh, and right when the TV crews got there, both Pat Jones and Al Buttnor rushed out to talk to them and try to persuade them that there was no news here. Al Buttnor seemed especially upset today.


When a Scientology staffer used a syringe to force a mixture of aspirin, Benadryl and orange juice into McPherson's throat while others held her down, it was "spiritual sustenance," the church argues.
