The 1997 Clearwater Picket

December 5, 1997

Picketers outside Fort Harrison

On the second anniversary of the death of Lisa McPherson, critics of Scientology flew in from around the world to picket in front of the Fort Harrison.

On the evening of the 5th, there was a candlelight vigil in Lisa's memory.

To counter the peaceful picketers, Scientology ordered it's troops into the streets of Clearwater to do their own picket...against the Police Department and the St. Petersburg Times newspaper.

This tape was edited together from video shot by the picketers.
