There were 2 visits by police, the first after the firing of the warning shots and all was OK with police except they suggested that a 911 call may be a better alternative. The 2nd visit was after dark about 30 minutes later, after the original single police officer responded when said 2nd officer heard another shotgun shell fired on or near my property.

He was an officer in training, knew full well about my involvement with fighting Scientology's tactics and thought we were under attack. He then called Chester, NH and Danville, NH officers for assistance. When they called the house and found only Stacy and me there they asked me to come out--hands up--no guns--peacefully to explain what was going on.

Both Stacy and me told the same story to different officers at the same time 200 feet apart that we did not fire the shotgun when the officer heard it, We heard it though and then the police were on the phone to me.

I was handcuffed because I was belligerent; firstly over the indignation of this hands up bullshit-- was this supposed to be Club Med? and secondly over being manhandled by the police.

The police were doing their job to maintain their safety. My belligerence was clearly not helpful to the situation and I was handcuffed for it.

The OSA trespassers said ' Hi Stacy! How is it fucking Bob?" I found this to be sufficiently over the top to leap out of the pool, run to the house and get my keys for the barn, open the barn, open my office, grab my shotgun, some shells and fire into 200 acres of hillside, at least 200 feet away from the OSA brown pants.

Ron Newman, can you please take the trouble to understand the difference between a high powered rifle that can project a bullet as much as 5 miles and a shotgun using pheasant shot.

My wife and children left Boston on Friday morning for England at 8:00am. Stacy arrived about 6:00 pm Friday from LA, on her way to Wellspring on Sunday for 2 weeks of cult rehabilition-- being paid for by my wife and me. My wife Therese was 100% aware that Stacy was arriving Friday in Boston and that we would be together Friday and Saturday.

Now what an opportunity for Miscavige, Rathbun and Rinder. Today Sunday July 26, 1998, my wife Therese receives a hand delivered 6 page letter from Rinder in England attacking Stacy as a tramp who is fucking your husband: a woman who has sucked the life and money from a long list of men; and as a woman out to manipulate your husband to spend all the family money to attack Stacy's arch enemy Scientology.

What a church!

Also, the letter included attacks on everyone I have helped---including according to Scientology, wife beaters, child molesters, whores and pornography editors---all of which I was exposing my family-children specifically-to.

You get the idea----yada, yada, yada---more Scientology---more bad manners.

Had I known about the letter to my wife, I might just have aimed at those OSA bastards.

Good night Marty, good night Mike and tell DM he can sleep in comfort--no coups are coming from inside Scientology.

Please indulge me if you really care about the sham called Scientology and read: Message-ID: <35cfa9d5.5504069@news.tiac.net> entitled:Scientology versus Democracy Redux.
