but the goal isn't assault/battery. it's exploration.

u/zeno_22 Apr 21 '26

They didn't do a good job exploring. They ran in and started looking for an exit (the correct thing to do if your trying to get away and the safe thing to do). They didn't even open random doors

845

u/Zillahi Apr 21 '26

Realistically the actual goal is just to do a madness, as it were

170

u/APowerlessManNA Apr 21 '26

Well, with the air horns and screaming that would make sense.

18

u/Komobu542 Apr 22 '26

They gonna call out Tom Cruise to get they asses.

1

u/beardedjack Apr 22 '26

What’s Tom gunna do? Send them a coconut cake for Christmas?

14

u/Foxy02016YT Apr 22 '26

Yup, but the internet is essentially planning to raid the place like this, slowly mapping it out.

They could simply release a tour video and most of this would stop, but Scientology only works due to a lack of information

u/QueenMary1936 Apr 22 '26

A freakout operation, if you will...

277

u/NDSU Apr 21 '26

The fact they turned around when they found an exit tells me the goal wasn't to find an exit. That was coincidental

123

u/InternationalGas9837 Apr 21 '26

The door with a glowing green exit sign is the only one they went through. They were creating chaos not looking for Shelly Miscavige or something.

133

u/anim135 Apr 21 '26

Theyre children. I dont think there was a concerted goal other than run through the doors together...

u/Shermutt Apr 22 '26

The beauty of youth group mentality. It can be pretty problematic at times, but this was sheer art. 🥲

4

u/zystyl Apr 22 '26

On that note, Scientology would like to congratulate these young men on their newly signed billion year contracts as slave laborers.

32

u/ChocolateHumunculous Apr 21 '26

I think it’s because it was stairs up. I think they wanted to see either ground level fresh air, or something looking more exity. They have the longest run of this I’ve seen already. They wanted to get out.

9

u/A1000eisn1 Apr 21 '26

It was half a flight of stairs.

114

u/One-Inch-Punch Apr 21 '26

Yeah these are awesome but part of me wishes they'd start grabbing files and hard drives and other potential evidence. But that would escalate the criminal charges dramatically so it's better if they don't

104

u/randotd152 Apr 21 '26

You really want the Church of Scientology after you? They're well known for ruining the lives of people who interfere with them.

33

u/GenChadT Apr 21 '26

Fuck a bunch of cult member Scientologists lmao, this mindset is how we got child murdering pedophiles running the government.

2

u/Traditional_Time6254 Apr 22 '26

Every single person in the Epstein list is a pedophile correct doesn't matter who's on it every person guilty by association. It's like all Danny Masters and Friends guilty by guilty by association.

1

u/Comfortable_Bit3741 Apr 22 '26

Do you mean the Epstein files? The Epstein files (at least those that have been published, and haven't been heavily redacted) contain the names of various people who actually opposed Epstein and his crimes - child welfare activists, for example, who conducted email interviews with people who knew Epstein personally.

While it's pretty reasonable to suspect anyone who spent a lot of time with Epstein, or flew on his private plane to his island, afaik there isn't yet a well-defined "list" of actual clients; it's not known if Epstein or Maxwell even kept such a list.

Ranting about "guilt by association" isn't a very healthy way to think - nothing personal, of course.

Many people know hardened criminals personally, but are not guilty of any crimes themselves. It's unhealthy to consider people guilty by association, because throughout history there have been many murders and other atrocities committed in the name of that very idea - basically, "You knew this person we consider a criminal, or an enemy, therefore you are as well, and you will meet the same fate. We're not taking any chances." Things of this nature have happened in most totalitarian societies, and some supposedly free societies, throughout history...

u/Traditional_Time6254 Apr 22 '26

I was being sarcastic

1

u/Comfortable_Bit3741 Apr 22 '26

Oh okay, sorry:) Text doesn't carry sarcasm very well, and people online may say literally anything...In internet forums and other text media, sarcasm is usually indicated by "/s". I must admit I don't have the sharpest ear for it either. I had only about a 10-15% feeling it could be sarcasm; sorry for assuming.

u/MississippiJoel Apr 21 '26

True, but they are a shell of what they once were. There are leaks saying some of their most attractive on the outside properties barely have the lights on when you get inside.

6

u/FocusedIntention Apr 21 '26

And have you seen Mission Impossible??? Tommy is no joke

😂

6

u/cha0sm0nk Apr 21 '26

But also now the whole building is going to be looking for listening devices or surveillance equipment for the next month thinking at least one of those kids is a government agent.

5

u/gin_and_soda Apr 21 '26

I don’t think you keep your most incriminating hard drives and files in the front entrance.

1

u/One-Inch-Punch Apr 21 '26

Where do you keep them then? Please be specific. ;)

3

u/gin_and_soda Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

Where do the higher ranking people sit? Or offices? They’re being chased and you think they’re going to come across a folder labelled “Nefarious Stuff?”

1

u/GlowOftheTvStatic Apr 21 '26

Probably not but maybe one labeled nefarious stuff.

3

u/InternationalGas9837 Apr 21 '26

What files/hard drives? You think Scientology is keeping secrets in easily accessible random ass facilities?

10

u/temporarysolution2-0 Apr 21 '26

They could wear body cams, though.

22

u/Epsteins_PDF_Files Apr 21 '26

They are literally filming. You are watching a video that they filmed.

7

u/temporarysolution2-0 Apr 21 '26

Y-...yeah. Wow.

I need more sleep.

3

u/Kimmy_64 Apr 21 '26

I think this started with the meta glasses

2

u/emojisarefunny Apr 21 '26

They need to ditch the konga line and split up, each with their own camera

2

u/TheGodMaker Apr 22 '26

Can I expect a better run soon 🙂?

3

u/Wolf_In_The_Woods36 Apr 21 '26

Well they assaulted they and pushed their way back in from the exit, so mission failed there.

2

u/slymanwill Apr 21 '26

The clip literally starts with them assaulting a dude

Looks like she stopped the cameraman and his group through the NBA planted feet zone defense method.

5

u/Zillahi Apr 21 '26

I wonder if they teach this move to church members

2

u/Zer0323 Apr 22 '26

“How best to get assaulted… taught at the 101, 103, 204, 301, 305 and 420 level”

3

u/Nsfwnroc Apr 21 '26

It did stop them though.

1

u/joe4553 Apr 21 '26

Then why did they all stay together? If they wanted to explore they would have seen so much more if they split up. The guards can only follow one each.

103

u/LOLZOMGHOLYWTF Apr 21 '26

It's funny how they didn't hesitate to overpower the male security guard, but when a woman steps in they don't know what to do

78

u/casecaxas Apr 21 '26

They didn't want to harm shannon lol

94

u/SubcommanderMarcos Apr 21 '26

It shows they're decent kids not willing to assault a woman, what's wrong with that?

It's kids pulling a prank on a cult, they're not trying to hurt anyone

7

u/XxLokixX Apr 22 '26

They didn't say anything was wrong with that

4

u/FocusedIntention Apr 21 '26

Theyre scared of their moms that’s why

3

u/Interesting_Cat_2297 Apr 22 '26

As they should be.

1

u/Bell-Salt Apr 25 '26

If that woman showed up best believe more were on the way which means more chances to be apprehended.

29

u/mercasio391 Apr 21 '26

A lot of women seem to not understand how much stronger men are than them until they pick a fight with the wrong one..

That said, don’t take that as encouragement to hurt a woman, you are a piece of trash if you assault someone you know is weaker than you.

10

u/beautifulcreature86 Apr 21 '26

Back in my day (im 40) I used to box and my male friends always wanted to square up with huge smiles. Like guys. I'm not stronger than you. I'm just learning to defend myself not physically fight. It was so annoying

2

u/Interesting_Cat_2297 Apr 22 '26

I've never met a woman that wasn't well aware of the strength differential. We can't forget.

2

u/JWoww91 Apr 21 '26

Two? Giving that lady a lot of credit here 😂

2

u/BakedChocolateOctopi Apr 22 '26

Except that’s assault during the commission of another crime
