I actually forgot about the April 12th event til just recently but reading up on it quickly has provided some interesting results. On a general basis, although turnout numbers were definitely much lower, its surprising to find that a good number of CoS members had actually stepped out towards Anonymous in efforts to leave the Church.



Either coincidence or related, but on the protest day, actual authorities raided the CoS in Belgium.

Another church in Duesseldorf, Germany seems to have completely disbanded leaving a completely abandoned church building behind, so signs or nothing.....

a rather interesting account posted second hand on Warren Ellis's bbs:

...was part of the Louisville, Ky protest (not many only about 30 of us). most all we're in masks, some like myself dressed up (as it was a particularly warm day) i was in full chef whites 10 inch touque and all and guy faux mask when a few of us were approached by a young lady in similar mask. she started talking to us about how her father was a part of this particular "church" and how when she spoke out about her fathers behavior he instantly became hostile, and even violent before kicking her out of their home. she began crying underneath her mask telling us how she missed him and just wanted her old dad back. that instantly turned the rather upbeat protest (rickrolls, chants, and banter between us and Co$'ers) into 30 of us simply standing completely still and staring at the building across the street.



i had the opportunity to cross the street and talk to the officer standing in front of the building to ask about our rights and what we we're able to do (kentucky has odd rules on this, chanting and singing were allowed, any handouts needed to be approved, which we complied, and no vulgar, profane, or threatening methods, verbal or otherwise were to be used). while i was iver i noticed wen the CoS closed. before that time i had this young woman write a note to her father explaining her situation to her father, i then took this note, walked the 5 blocks to my truck, changed into civis, and headed back to the building. I found the man as she had described to me and handed him the note, when asked wo i was i simply stated concerned and walked to a local bar.



i met with this girl again a few days later as we had arranged to find out her father and her had talked and were beginning to rebuild their relationship. i didnt pry furthur as she seemed to still be upset at the situation. however she seemed hopeful.





a random side note, gotta love the title of their next protest:

"Operation Battletoad Earth"
