Scientologists Disrupt the LMT

Invasion of DeMoss

August 29, 2000

Several Scientologists, including Mary DeMoss, barged into the LMT offices to disrupt our activities. This started to happen on a daily basis after the Lisa McPherson criminal case was dropped and a vote for the redevelopment of Clearwater's downtown was defeated by citizens who felt the development would only benefit Scientology.

 

 

 

The Clearwater police were called when these incidents started happening. One officer who responded to our call suggested that it was simply a case of "tit for tat," comparing our peaceful pickets of Scientology to their entering and disrupting business on private property.

If any member of the LMT had entered a Scientology building we would likely have been arrested on the spot. Indeed, I was arrested in Chicago while trying to peacefully videotape an interview in front of a Scientology building. I was arrested for trespassing even though I was on a public sidewalk.
