What a gross waste of tax-payer money and police time. Fuck the scientologist hucksters.

Just a bunch of lawyers invoicing the rich to allow them to do immoral things and write it off as a charity donation.

This isn't about scientology, this is about dumbfuck kids going along with stupid shit they saw on the internet for social media clicks. This could just as easily have been a mosque or planned parenthood building. They deserve whatever they get.

You're a "get off my lawn" fella?

I dunno man, I did plenty of dumb illegal shit when I was a kid but the thing that makes that shit fun is figuring out how not to get caught. Doing this shit just because some narcissist on tiktok told you to and all your friends are doing it, and then literally handing the evidence over to the cops, what am I supposed to think about these little morons?

I don't have a problem with kids being kids, I have a problem with stupid people that are so mindless they just get swept along by the mob with absolutely no comprehension of the effects or consequences of their actions.

Kids swept along by the mob of social media is just literal baseline childhood today. You sound like you're just wishing that away, or avoiding looking at it too hard.

And in this case, the kiddos are doing something cool. Go find the every-single-thing else worth complaining about, this is the least dumb or bad thing happening presently. Makes you sound like an asshole 🤷‍♂️

It's one thing to get swept along by the mob of social media, its a whole 'nother level of dumbassery to do illegal shit and then post the evidence to social media for the cops to come and arrest you. I dunno why that's controversial.

Nah, fucking with Scientology rules, actually

[–] SamuraiBeandog@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This is a million miles away from actually fucking with Scientology in any way that matters.

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Storming inside of a Scientology building, and disrupting its normal operation is the exact opposite of a million miles away, actually

[–] SamuraiBeandog@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What exactly do you think that changes?

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago

Entering buildings to disrupt their ability to operate normally is a pretty well known, and often very effective, means of protest

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 days ago

It’s pissing them off so I am absolutely all for it.
