   >Hello All -   
      
   Pat, you are so great at picking and choosing the words you want, how about   
   what   
   "The general public" thinks of CCHR?   
      
   Please comment on this:   
      
      
   Here is a great example of the ***STELLAR*** intelligence and caring of the   
   CCHR.   
      
   When the news reporters covered the protest, the only real point was that the   
   CCHR were a bunch of jerks for being out there.   
      
   Sudbury is a quiet, almost rural town, and the CCHR had to truck these   
   "protestors" in from everywhere they could get them.

   >SUDBURY - A group of demonstrators yesterday angered passersby,   
   >prompting them to shout out car windows and make obscene gestures at the   
   >sign holders, who demanded a list of medications taken by young murder   
   >suspect John Odgren.   
      
   >"This kind of thing just seems like a bizarre sidelight that groups like   
   >this would show up at a time like this and try to inflame tensions when   
   >the community is grief-stricken," Lincoln-Sudbury Superintendent and   
   >Principal John Ritchie said. "The message I'm trying to convey is we are   
   >busy taking care of much more important things than Tom Cruise and   
   >Scientology," said Ritchie.

   >The demonstrators, nine members of the Citizen's Commission on Human   
   >Rights, an advocacy group founded by the Church of Scientology in 1969,   
   >gathered at the intersection of Rte. 27 and Concord Road to hold a   
   >banner that read, "Psychiatry's toxic drugs cause suicides and acts of   
   >violence."   
   >[]   
      
   >The timing of the protest, which came on the same day as the private   
   >funeral service for stabbing victim Alenson, left some community members   
   >aghast.   
      
   >"Quite frankly, I think it...takes away from a very difficult day for   
   >the [] family. This is a very serious event, and first and foremost   
   >anyone who looks at it has to be outrageously empathetic to the Alenson   
   >family, and particularly today."   
   >[]   
      
   >Area residents, however, didn't seem interested in getting the message.   
   >[]   
      
   >During the hour-long protest, several passing motorists simply shook   
   >their heads at the signs. Others flashed obscene gestures at CCHR   
   >members as they passed, and several shouted from car windows.   
   >   
   >"Have you ever seen a schizophrenic off his drugs? Obviously not," one   
   >woman shouted before driving away.
