As I reported, in August last year I carried out a one-man protest of the Scientology cult's CCHR anti-mental health hate exhibition at the Vancouver, B.C. Public Library. http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/media/our/picket-2004-08-14.html

During my peaceful protest I was assaulted by a couple of the Scientologists manning their hate exhibit, most violently by a man I'd known to be a CCHR official but whose name I didn't then know. http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/media/our/picket-2004-08-14-17.html http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/media/our/picket-2004-08-14-11.html http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/media/our/picket-2004-08-14-16.html

This guy struck me twice, tore a strip of skin off my arm, and tried to rip from me a bunch of friendly Xenu flyers I'd brought for the protest.

I recently found a 1991 Vancouver Sun article that identified him as Brian Beaumont. http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/media/our/picket-2004-08-14-24.html

Beaumont has a cookie-cutter Scientology web site: http://www.oursites.org/brianbeaumont/

It is possible that Jeff Beaumont, who also has a Scientology web site, is his son. http://www.our-home.org/jeffbeaumont/

During a picket of the Vancouver Scientology organization with Martin Hunt in 1999, a woman staff member ordered a young man, who could have been in his teens at the time, to shoot me if I stepped onto cult property. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.religion.scientology/msg/59fb273c0a2c3231?dmode=source

Later during our picket, the same guy made other threatening comments about getting his gun and taking care of me. Also later I saw Brian Beaumont talking to this young guy in a way that led me to conclude that they were probably father and son.

Brian Beaumont clearly makes an ideal official in the Scientology cult's vicious and dangerous CCHR attack arm. If the young Scientologist who threatened to murder me is indeed Beaumont's son, the Vancouver org has one hell of a family of hoodlums of whom cult boss David Miscavige must be very proud.
