I assume had this guy gotten a permit to picket (which he might not have gotten) he would have been fine. However, he probably didn't get a permit and the Supreme Court has affirmed restrictions on picketing near someone's house (i.e. you cannot picket an abortionists house), so it is unlikely that he could have gotten one. Basically it comes down to where this guy was at when he was picketing, he has no right to be on your front lawn, but it's possible he could use the streets. (continued in a sec)

He was on the sidewalk outside of a fenced in enclosure. Scientology scare tactics commonly include sending out picketers to your house, though they stay off your property, yet they never get in trouble for it (so I imagine that it is at least legal).
2007-02-05 22:20:17
 
Nevertheless, yes he might have a valid first rights claim, BUT the states are within their police power to add on to rights granted by the Constitution. Here they protect religious rights, race (13, 14, 15th amendments) and they add a few provisions of their own. Here the qualifier "shall by force or threat of force" determines whether or not this law is Constitutional, though I would say it is considering. The Supreme Court have held on numerous occasions that though there is freedom of speech it is no
2007-02-05 22:21:06
 
Emphasis should be placed on the FENCED IN part of that, as the place he picketed is the civilian equivalent of a fortress.

2007-02-05 22:24:56
 
...not PURE. I.e. the age old example of yelling fire in a crowded theater, or the court's more restrictive approach to commercial speech. Here the CA legislature is probably ok...I haven't really gone into research this specific provision nor looked at interpretations in CA case law (and CA courts are known to do some weird things). Ok...I was gonna add more, but it comes down to whether the neighborhood this place was in had restrictions on picketing and the like. If those were reasonable time...
2007-02-05 22:27:56
 
place, and manner restrictions he really can't bitch. He likely didn't get a permit (this is just an assumption) and he may or may have not threatened them (since he was 'guilty' I assume they say he was allegedly doing it)...so I find no fault as I have no way of reading the trial court's opinion (I am not driving to California).

Didn't think anyone would notice the link I put in the news comment. Scientology needs to crumble.
2007-02-05 22:34:08
 
moheevi, he was actually arrested for 'threatening' Scientologist, however all the evidence they have on him for 'threatening' them comes from post he made on the internet years before he even started protesting where they arrested him, and a book that he wrote back in 1990. He never once threatened a Scientologist directly, only the organization itself.
2007-02-05 22:35:47
 
You can read the transcript of the trial at www.operatingthetan.com, a link that was posted above, though obviously it is quite long.
2007-02-05 22:45:21
 
The best part of this whole saga was when the Canadian government sent out the equivalent of a SWAT team to apprehend him... at a shopping mall parking lot. http://www.laweekly.com/news/news/unfair-game/4713/ Definetly nothing shady going on here at all.

Agreed Monnock - His arrest smells of Scientology too - http://tinyurl.com/2kv8lu - Also, the judge who originally tried this seems like he was paid off. The good thing about this is that it is strongly being looked into now and the truth always prevails in the end.
2007-02-05 23:03:14
 
or you could just ignore it and let those morons waste their money. i'm not condoning their BS, but most of this stuff starts from people getting too close to those whackos.

"THE COURT: Sorry to keep you waiting a few minutes, ladies and gentlemen, but we had some things that we had to take care of. The People have now rested their case. The defense as you well know does not have to put on a case. In this instance the defense is not going to put on a defense, relying instead on the state of the evidence. So in a sense we have heard -- not in a sense, we have in fact heard all of the evidence that we're going to hear in this case."http://www.operatingthetan.com/henson351.html#pa
2007-02-05 23:11:33
 
http://www.operatingthetan.com/henson351.html#page%20350 so he chose not to run a defense...that's hardly a judge saying they can't and i don't see any objections about it. I think I agree with another commenter, both Scientology and this guy are crazy...best not to get involved.
2007-02-05 23:11:44
 
yeah this is a pretty one sided story here, from what i've read he seems like a nutjob. dunno, i think the biggest atrocity of scientology is the concept of money to buy religious status. That and it is religious beliefs based on a scifi novel. And later turned into a really horrible movie.
2007-02-05 23:28:47
 
The biggest atrocity of Scientology is the dead people, dumbass. Fair game. Look it up. It's never been rescinded. Scientology is no religion. By the way, Scinetology spent over 2 million dollars prosecuting a pro se litigant here. The judge seems to have been a nut. Most of the charges Scientoloigy leveled at this guy (and almost all the charges it shots out each day) were dismissed by various courts. you simply can't trust the 'facts' on the record.
2007-02-05 23:35:42
 
i would appreciate you at least amend the part why the judge wouldn't allow in evidence of why he was picketing as it is clearly not relevant to the case at hand. think about it this way, if a KKK guy starts picketing outside a black church and is tried...should he be allowed to say, "well judge there is a reason why I was picketing..." it's just not relevant to whether this guy committed the offense under the CA statute. the only way it would be relevant was if Scientology people were threatening AND
2007-02-05 23:37:02
 
he had proof. still it's an iffy case there as he's the one on trial.
2007-02-05 23:37:09
 
Hey bacon, just because someone may perhaps be slightly offkilter it doesn't mean that a criminal cult like Scientology is not trying to screw him over.
2007-02-05 23:37:57
 
Moheevi - It is relevant. Play again
2007-02-05 23:46:19
 
"Moheevi - It is relevant. Play again" Alright, well I'm done even talking about this because the anti-Scientology people are just being ignorant. I am not trying to offend anyone who hates Scientology, I'm just pointing out that the law creates defenses to crimes, clearly this doesn't fall into an exception like "self-defense"...so what the hell would it fall under? I am talking about relevance in law, btw. So what you might consider relevant isn't necessarily relevant in the court of law. I just thin
2007-02-05 23:50:09
 
...think that there too many ifs and buts here. From what I read the quotes may have been taken out of context, but I did read something that a detective said. Here, the judge (who I have not researched) isn't the one saying that they guy is guilty or not, it was a jury. The guy didn't speak on his own behalf (which may have been a good move on his part, as he seems to interrupt the judge several times during the proceedings...even talking on his cell phone at one point) and they put up no defense.
2007-02-05 23:52:47
 
I realize that Scientology is hated on ytmnd and elsewhere, but just because we/you/us hate something...does that make our actions justifiable for injuring or threatening people (note i am not saying this guy is guilty)? Here the guy could have gotten a decent lawyer and probably got off, but I'd have to take a look through all the proceedings to even tell that...that's just my opinion.

moheevi, the problem here is that the guy did intend to go to court. However, he was judged guilty, even though he wasn't, and then he was told he'd be killed while in jail. I mean, what would you do if for some reason, a SWAT team arrived at your home, grabbed you because the posts you made on YTMND are supposedly a national security threat, sentenced you to jail and told you they can't wait for you to get in so they can kill you? I think you'd go "F*ck this country" and leave.
