Scientologist Michael Fitzgerald is released on bail after assaulting protester Shawn Lonsdale
 |

Shawn Lonsdale has been filming outside the Church of Scientology in Clearwater for two weeks.

A man filming a documentary outside the Church of Scientology in Clearwater says he was attacked by a man claiming to be a Scientologist.
But a Scientology spokeswoman says the photographer, Shawn Lonsdale, has been harassing their staff and members for weeks, and that the fight was not a church incident.
Lonsdale said his cameras have been pointed toward the Church of Scientology in Clearwater every day for two weeks.
"Basically, I'm filming a pseudo-documentary for one of our free-access Pinellas web channels," Lonsdale said.
Lonsdale's not hiding what he's doing. He posted a big sign near him

that reads "Cult Watch," which is the name of his documentary. Lonsdale says on Saturday, a man identifying himself as a Scientologist came out of a nearby coffee shop and started arguing with him.
"A strange guy comes running across the street with a cup of coffee in his hand yelling that I'm a religious bigot," Lonsdale said.
That man, 52-year old Michael Fitzgerald, was arrested after he and Lonsdale got into a fight about the filming.
"I picked up the camera again and started filming him," Lonsdale said. "He went right for my face and my head, backed me up into a pole to which I had no other choice but to defend myself."
The Church of Scientology won't say if Fitzgerald is a church member, saying the incident is a private matter, but it did provide a man, Drew Sweet, as a witness to the fight.

fault, Sweet answered, "That's hard to say. Obviously, you can film. It's your right to film, but the first swing was by Shawn."
But Clearwater police arrested Fitzgerald and charged him with battery. The police said they're not releasing the videotape or incident report because the case is still under investigation.
The church still believes Lonsdale is a threat, saying it is concerned for the safety of staff and parishioners.
Scientology spokesperson Pat Harney said in a written statement that Lonsdale has been stalking and harassing church members and staff and they've urged them to stay away from him.
Fitzgerald has posted bond and is out of jail.

Thanks to the work of Kirsti Wachter, we immediately knew that Drew Sweet is a Scientologist and a New OT IV. He is at cause over life by lying about Proflex aka Shawn Lonsdale!!!

The Persecution of Ex members, current members [RPF], Authors & critics, and those who support them by the cult called Scientology
"If you tell a lie long enough and effectively enough, you can get the masses to believe it. For example, the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament suggests to impressionable children and teenagers that tennis players actually smoke. Athletes have known for decades that "smoking cuts your wind." The tobacco propaganda machine is like the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984. If you work at it, you can convince the proles (proletariat) that war is peace, slavery is freedom, black is white, and two and two make five." -William A. Levinson, www.stentorian.com

July 8th, 2006 - Above: Scientologist Michael Fitzgerald arrested for assaulting a peaceful picketer of Scientology. Shawn Lawnsdale, in Clearwater, who uses the nickname Proflex on the OCMB Chat board was assaulted by the Scientologist above. Shawn says that he knew this day was going to be different.. because Scientology's handlers were not acting the same.. and they were moving about, watching him, talking on cell phones.. as if the incident was choreographed..Without provocation, the assailant rushed at Shawn, who saw him coming, while getting the event on video tape, Shawn directed the attackers headlong rush into a plate glass window, which was impacted fairly hard, though his head did not break it. Non Scientologist witnesses backed up shawn's description of events, which was in turn backed up by the video tape which is in the possession of the Clearwater Police.
Michael fitzgerald's arrest record is HERE, and his listing showing completed Scientology courses is HERE.
Editors comment - these are the same tactics used by the nazis.

Here's the story of what happened that day according to Shawn Lonsdale
The assault....
I was late to the street today...but even after a brief nap i was strangely aware that something wasen't right. I chocked it up to not enough productive hours recently for the storyline. So in heading out i decided to take along a second cam in case i needed a alternate angle on the scene.
The streets were full and traffic was flowing...a lot of support from the public and scienos freely streaming in their white's all over the area...something was not right though. No handeler's in sight....strange? One semi-regular strolled across to starbucks and back for a brief chat then a phone call....he was not in the full on "discussion and sign blocking" mode he usually is, so he sat about 20 yards away. Weird? I was well aware to be cautious as i am all alone out there....but forgot my mace today! I noticed a weird guy headed from starbucks yelling something to me....and he was stating that i was a religous bigot and why don't i bother the nig---'s..or the jew's you piece of shit..(the whole rant). I raised the cam to get him seeing as he had stated he was a scieno and i was insulting him and making money off bashing his religion...yea as if...so he goes for my camera and won't let it go so i went limp with it and finally he released it....i held it back up and begin filming him again as he wails that i am "breaking the law and he will not tolerate me videoing him without his consent"..."read the law because you have no expectation of privacy on a public street"..i say. Well he comes at me again as i back into a street pole and have no where to go....he pushes and grabs my face and camera so i put up bolth forearms and drive him back down to the street...he does not release me or my face and cam so we struggled back to our feet and swirled around till he was driven back into the glass front doors of the building behind us..(refer to the previous photos posted of the corner) thank god we did not break through it....i was able to struggle free and we seperated fully. Several scienos ran up declaring that i assaulted him...it's a good thing it was all on the video as well as several ind. witnesses who really saw it all. The scienos coulden't get their stories straight...and lied right to the police and me to my face about what just happened,of course the video was there to tell it all anyhow so the guy was arrested and charged....right in front of a crowd of about 70-90 scienos who were crossing to go to chow and instead stayed gawking as they handcuffed the guy and led him away slowly (i hope to let it sink in) hehehe. I kept up my filming and got all the reactions as well as the osa shill orchistrating it all from afar... I saw the whole while this "osa suit" across the street frantically on his cell....as i left to go to the police station i passed him and asked if he knew that guy was a scientologist?...just to get his goat...his reply was "Get the fuck out of here you fucking asshole"...twice in front of a patio of starbucks customers. Nice job...footbullet again! Wait till the whole story hits of how and why this poor public was the dirty jobber sent in to get me to jump....who will bail him out? He did leave all his stuff to a supposedly "unknown" fellow scieno standing near as he promised to get him bail.....police report #2006-16945 clw.p.d....i will recieve the origional video back as soon as possable and will get it out for all to see...i promise!
Back tommorow?....this was sooo good how can i not...video and all for the next stage of their attack...HEY OSA,YOU GUY'S READY TO GIVE UP YET....GIMME A CALL HEHEHEHEHE..here he is...anyone know him?
