I'd be willing to bet that there is more than one camera at the plaza and more than one video that was shot.

Clearly this is a manned camera and not an automated stationary surveillance video like those at a parking lot or convenience store. This sure leaves a lot of latitude for editing of the video.
There's no doubt in my mind that it was a big mistake for the city to sell a public street to the church. But the church can afford it and a lot of paid guards and cameramen.

I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

Brilliant. I'm willing to bet I'm in much better shape than you. Does that mean I'm a better person than you, or that I can call you a "fat goon" if it makes me feel better about my prejudices?
I agree with Maklelan, here....
While I realize this is an internet message board and wittiy zingers are often the fodder of the moment, I don't really think calling anyone "fat goons" (or any other name-calling, for that matter) helps accomplish much of anything--and it certainly doesn't give anyone the moral high ground.

whatever..
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

No, it's not. You don't seem to know jack about security procedures, and your ignorant dogmatism certainly doesn't afford you any more transcendent a perspective than anyone else. You're just making facts up because they support your assumptions and your prejudices.

If you're fatter than me then I guess that makes you a goon.

TAK,
I imagine we'd probably agree on the issues in the same way... I just don't think your methods are likely to win friends and influence people, and I don't think it's a stretch to see that. I understand those that leave Mormonism often need to work through anger/betrayal/bitterness issues--I did, myself. So, don't mean to withold that "stage of grief" from anyone--it's an important and necessary step. I'm just sayin, in the long run, that mud-slinging belittling comments at one's adversaries isn't the most productive, personal-peace-inducing way to spend one's existence.
My view,
Darin

What a joke. You really don't have anything but ignorant hatred to ejaculate onto this board, do you?

Hello Mr. Maklelan,
Clearly, at 15 seconds the security "goons" seize upon the two individuals who had their arms around each; most likely they were terrified by being surrounded by four large individuals in suits.
At 16 seconds you can see, very clearly, one of the "goons" wrest the one individual away from his partner and attempt to put him in a headlock. His partner is very clearly thrown to the ground while three "goons" attack him.
They physically assaulted the two individuals. There is no question about that. How you can come to some other conclusion from very, very clear video evidence is disconcerting.
Very Respectfully,

Oh, my. I find it very interesting that you would homoeroticize this particular thread. Please, Sir, take a moment of self-reflection.
