[livejournal.com profile] von_geisterhand was at the one in Berlin.

This is awesome in more ways than one. Not just because it's a good cause to raise awareness but also because it could happen in this form at all.
For those of you not familiar with German law, there's a "Vermummungsverbot" which prohibits protesters from obscuring their faces (e.g. wearing balaclavas or masks) but apparently, they managed to get an exception for this event (provided that those masked could show ID to police if necessary). Considering how stuck up German authorities usually are about this sort of thing, this is absolutely brilliant.

It's not like the German authorities are big fans of scientology to begin with. Plus, it's Berlin, I bet the police were thinking "Thank god, for once a bunch of protesters who aren't here to pick a fight with us. Let's be nice.".

Apparently a copper said to a protester: "Your sign there ("Honk if you think Scientology is a cult") is far too small. Make a bigger one next time." :-D

And on the whole, the police were actually very cool and laid back.

Well, he commented here without complaining so I don't think he minds.
Nobody has done anythin illegal and I don't think any Scientologists are reading this.

In any case, all this proves is that I was in the area at some point throughout the day, long enough to overhear the copper making the comment.
Whether I took part in the protest in any shape or form is anybody's guess.
