I handed out 200 leaflets ( from
http://xenu.net/) at the Scientology "Volunteer Minister
Cavalcade" at Boston Commons.
They were quite in my face, and one of them grabbed my arm (and
threatened to call the cops). That's when I called the cops.
A cop came by on a bike (badge #1058) told me not to go in their tent
(duh), and told the clams not to touch me. Naturally, the clams were
all in my face, calling me a bigot, and a racist (wtf?), and a Nazi.
Also, they insulted my purple hair, which is, to be fair, a bit faded.
One guy kept telling passers by that I was selling hair dye.
The most awesome bit was my last flyer. When I was down to twenty or so,
a woman came by in a motorized wheelchair. I have her a leaflet. One of
the clams walked over and said, "you don't really want that, do
you?" She surrendered it.
Then, when I was trying to give away my last flyer, she came back and
said, "it made me uncomfortable how quickly that guy grabbed that
flyer. Can I have another?" I gave her my last flyer, and
shook her hand, and went home.
I also got a flyer to a local TV news person, and to a Boston Globe
reporter.
I think I overheard them saying they would be there until Thursday,
but I can't find any more data online.
Replies by e-mail please -- I'm not sure I'll have time to check this
froup in the next few days.
