Non-Picket: Toronto ARSCC (wdne, eh?)-November 10,2001
Picketers: Gregg, Android Cat, Zeratul
Since I am side-lined from picketing, I decided to watch
this time round. For a long time, I watched, and mostly
stayed around Zeratul or Gregg.
Due to the nature of the reason as to why I was not
picketing, I was subject to a number of stares and even
laughter from the staff inside of the Org itself.
I decided to walk across the street to obtain what I needed
from a store in the area, and while I walked past Keith and
the other picketers, I mentioned to Keith that there was a
woman following me with a camera. There was a group of young
boys with skateboards surrounding Keith at the time, and
they heard me complaining about her as well.
What made me extremely nervous was that this woman was
deliberately following me, knowing I could not run from her
due to a temporary disability, which was the reason why I
was unable to picket. I continued to walk on to the unknown
picketer, and mentioned to him as well that I was being
followed for absolutely no reason at all.
As she snuck up behind me with the camera, I saw her and she
began laughing. I was quite short tempered, and told her off
in no uncertain terms. She walked off very quickly towards
Keith. I'm quite sure her mother would be proud of her for
deliberately terrorizing and laughing at a disabled woman.
I turned back towards Keith and called out, "Hey, Keith,
that's the lady who was following me." She was less than 10
ft away from Keith (haha, so much for being scared! LOL..
she was from the Toronto Org) and brandishing her camera.
The crowd of boys, who were still surrounding Keith, jumped
in front of her camera and started calling her "Xenu lover"
She then left again, further up the street.
When I thought she was gone, I continued walking towards the
store, but then saw her again standing across the street,
holding her camera up at Gregg. The crowd of boys at this
point were at the Org itself. Zeratul told me that he had
warned them about her, and they again, started calling her
"Xenu lover" . She left rather quickly again and went inside
the Org.
When I came out of the store, the picket was over. I joined
Zeratul and the others.
End of the non picket report.
