Why i cant stand fundies, Modern Day Witch Hunt
"The police told me that they were only allowed 2 undercover operations a year and that if I wanted anything done about it I would have to go to a council meeting and talk with them, which I did, but I had never been to a council meeting prior to that and had no desire to do so and would have never went back had they not made my bumper stickers and my faith an issue and dealt with my issues of the drug dealers.

I had no problem with their prayer at the council meeting, matter of fact I participated in it. I stood, bowed my head and said amen at the end, just like everyone else. When it came time for me to talk, I got a sentence out and then they informed me my bumper stickers were offensive and wanted them removed and my time ran out, so I had to go back 6 times and each time I prayed with them, but by that time, I was interested in why it took so long for them to hear me and why did I have to accuse them of making money from the drug dealers to get action, so I continued.

Then when I didn't remove my stickers the prayers began to be directed at me or at least that is how I took it when the prayer, "may everyone find JC including the heathens" was said. At the next council meeting, I didn't bow my head and they waited for me to bow my head and then publicly pointed out that I didn't bow my head and people called me a Satanist and told me I wasn't wanted and I could get burned out during the meeting and none of my council said anything about these comments. So then, I asked for a generic prayer or to have members of the community alternate the prayer and they created a policy, which banned members of the community from giving prayers, and went to the churches and requested resolutions and petitions and got them against me and my request. From there, it just escalated to the point of having to file suit, but during all of this the first of the vandalism on my vehicles began and they were throwing bricks through my windows, egging my house and the first of the cats began to be poisoned, so they pushed me to the point of putting a stop to this organized hateful attitude towards differences."

"Prior to PPD of 2003, the problems were as I stated above, just starting, but then we were originally going to hold PPD in this town and one of the Council members, Glenn Ross began to collect signatures to stop it and writing letters to the editor to me and my God from him and his and also began to preach at me at the council meetings, which seemed to really inflame the public with me. We had a race riot on the 4th of July weekend, where Juicy Brown was murdered and an elderly man shot when he stepped out on his front porch and we cancelled the event and I went to the Council meeting to let them know that and Glenn Ross, claimed "that God was looking over the balcony and didn't like what he saw, so he spite the evil pagans down and that this was a great day for the residents of Great Falls and that every citizen should rejoice in God's glory, " or something to that affect.

I went to PPD in Charlotte with a friend's husband and my Goddaughter and when I arrived back home after a wonderful day with friends and family, I walked into a home, that a front door and windows were broken and spray painted, cabinets tore down, poop in microwave, cat box dumped in my bed, spray paint on the walls that said, " die witch, " refrigerator and stove flipped over and everything out of the drawers and it was totally demolished. I called the Chief and then I went to the police station only to be given a security catalog and told he would be jeopardizing his job. I went home and attempted to clean up and from that day forward until August 11, 2004, my house was vandalized a total of 9 times. I have redone my home 5 times and am working on the 6th now. During that time, everything except one piece of furniture survived in its entirety, which is a dresser from a beautiful bedroom suit. How it survived I don't have a clue, but one of my friend's reminds that he feels it is because when he came over and saw it flipped on the floor and offered to turn it back up, I told him to leave it that it would only end up there again and he said he thinks that saved it.

During this time, I did try to get, as much of my stuff that wasn't broken or broken too badly outside in the shed or on the front porch, but it didn't save my animals.

I walked in once to find a cat gutted and hung from a planter in the back bedroom, my African Grey, Little One beheaded and her heart cut out, with a note attached saying I was next, cats poisoned, murdered, my horses almost killed, my oldest Yorkie was blinded when she was 14 and then attacked again this year, which now she is completely blinded and just recently had to under go surgery which they didn't think she would survive due to her age. I have been pulled over my fence and beaten. Even my male raccoon was taken and I think they were going to kill him, but possibly attempted to torture him first by shaving him, which was their mistake, because he got away and came home. They killed my iguana, Sammie, which she was 6 feet long, my black shark and due to the attacks I had to give my horses away because I couldn't be in 2 places at once, my 9 foot Burmese as well."

I don’t think I have to add much commentary, this speaks for itself. All she wanted was to get law-enforcement, and she gets to be the target of religious terrorism.

1. Are you comfortable with her credibility?
I am not saying she is NOT credible, just asking you if you know the site, the folks, etc. We've had a spate of false reporting (like the prof that painted racist stuff on her car) so I'd hate to find out it wasn't true.

Well, actually I'd RATHER find out it wasn't true, but you know what I mean.

2. I am
I have been chased by fundies with knives.Why because I walked past them on the sidewalk while eating a big peach melba snowball, and one of them saw my pentagram necklace as I said excuse me,The fundies were wearing various christian shirts and were clustered on the sidewalk so no one could pass by without saying excuse me,and when thety saw I was pagan they attempted to hit me, grab me,I threw my snowball down and ran,they gave chase,I ran in a zig zag pattern,headed for tall weeds and up a tree. They didn't see me up there,but as I watched them search for me in total frozen silence in a pine tree..I saw they had knives out.Who knows what these fucking fanatics would have done to me..glad they didn't look up.
