My latest poston Religion Dispatches discusses last week's news story about an ex-Scientologist who was shot dead at the Church's Celebrity Centre in Hollywood when he showed up there with two samurai swords and started threatening visitors.
As one would expect, Anonymous's message boards are gathering lots of information on the story. As one would also expect, they've given him a meme-ish name: "Epic Sword Guy."

The latest killing of a Scientology customer by Scientology is known among human rights and civil rights advocates as "Another satisfied customer." The man with the fake swords that was shot dead by Scientology was a long-time customer of 15 years who had, over the past 2 years, been demanding his money back and threatening to sue the Scientology crime syndicate.
The Scientology Corporation has at most some 40,000 remaining customers world wide, and the number of dead Scientology customers killed by Scientology is phenomenal. Looking at what the insane criminals do to its remaining customers and plotting the number of killings per capita against legitimate, actual religions, and one finds that the Scientology Corporation's death rate / murder rate / suicide rate far exceeds actual legitimate religions.
This man was crazy before he subjected himself to Scientology's extremly debilitative brainwashing "auditing" and "training routines." After 15 yuears of being rooked, swindled, and brainwashed the man's brain was turned in to a violent crazy the likes of which we see a lot of in Scientology.
Finally the Scientology customer acted out, trying to get some of the money back that he was defrauded out of and we see the consequences: another dead Scientology customer.
Another satisfied customer.
