Protest by Anonymous, outside the Church of Scientology in London

I think the message is pretty clear!

I like masks.

Video clip of protest - [link] (excuse the abysmal quality - my camera phone is rubbish)

A better video - [link] <--watch until the end. For anyone who has ever slated the British police, this is just fantastic.

apparently they can hahaha. they fixed it didn't they? hmm. not sure your point :]

ps. to photographer-- CHURCH of Scientology? what a misstatement. a school maybe, but a church? goes to show you how really educated in semantics they are. doh >.<

ending statement, Scientology is a method not a church or religion, science is restricted to measuring repeatable phenomenon, and if its a church, they you can play it by their game and ask what scientific method they came upon deducing the science is the ultimate answer, bet you well get a stutter.

Man, i wanted to go so bad! I shot a show last night tho, and our scientology building is really small, so i didnt think it would be worth it.

Haha, neat. I like how they accidentally forgot the T and squeezed it in there.

The masks look quite nice, too.
