Scientology holds local residents hostage

excessive closures of L Ron Hubbard Way. Every weekend the Church of
Scientology closes three city blocks resulting in local residents
unable to have drivable access to their homes, constantly having to
show ID to Scientology security and friends/family restricted from
visiting.

in Los Angeles.

At Wednesday's LA City Council meeting, non-Scientologist and resident
of L Ron Hubbard Way, Sammi Franklin, and free speech advocate Lisa
Derrick stood in the chambers at city hall to explain what it's like
to live on a street closed down every weekend of the year.
As in past years, the Church of Scientology requested that the weekly
event be considered a special event by the city in order to close the
public street, which was called Berendo until 1996, and sidewalks
every weekend. Think of their request like a farmers market asking a
street be closed every Sunday morning. For any street closure to go
through, a councilmember must sponsor a motion that will go up for
approval by the council.
It's such a standard type of motion, every week, a variety of special
events are passed with little public comment or opposition (block
parties, weekend festivals, etc). But on Friday, the Scientology
motion was continued to be discussed further on Tuesday, which will be
aired live on Channel 35 or the internet.

EVERY WEEKEND????? That is totally ridiculous. How dare anybody
have the power to do that? But that's California isn't it.....the
land of Fruits and Nuts.

It's amazing to think that this has been happening for as long as it
has.
Are most of the people that live in this area Scientologists? That's
the only reason I can think of, well besides the obvious one.....
Scientology paying people off.

These 2 women are doing some great work on this. Here's an update with
videos
MSM Picks up on C0$
LAist, CA - 8 hours ago
Church of Scientology stories are usually left for the internet and
are rarely the subject of mainstream media stories. But when two women
stood up to City ...

Wow, that's great. Those ladies did a great job too, I'm glad it's
getting picked up by mainstream media.
You could tell they were both nervous, and stumbled at times. But
once they got comfortable and into it, they really shined. Good for
them! Hopefully all of this will actually accomplish something.
Reporter: No neighbors would talk to us on camera for fear of
Scientology.
Scientologist spokeswoman: We're here for the community.
lol
BTW - I thought these events by the "Church" of Scientology were
fronts to stop Anonymous from protesting?? Are these legit events or
what's the deal?

Actually, it's 104 days a year at two days per weekend (I don't know
if they try for three days on long weekends).

No, but any city will close off a block or more of a street for
special occasions such as a street fair. In that case, they want the
public ambling through. Usually the event is on a commercial street
for a few days a year, and the shopkeepers are happy to participate.
But this is ridiculous. I'm surprised these residents didn't raise
hell about it sooner. Maybe they were intimidated, though. The whole
thing comes off as way fascist.

there. And what kind of corrupt fruit and nuts would surface in YOUR
state if Scientology plopped its big ol' ass down and decided to stay, huh?
BTW, most people in Cali aren't natives. They're from somewhere else.
Like your town.

It is a public street Scientology treats as its private property.

I knew it was 104 days a year but I just figured that it was the same
event for each weekend. I hope someone gets copies of the permit
applications, which are suppossed to be public records. Getting them
would provide some explanation or justification, and some details.
