Q There is one part on there, Mr. Minton, where
it seems as if we hear a gate make a clanking sound.
What was that?

A Yeah, at the very back of the property there
was a gate that was partially open. It had a big chain
on it with a lock on the chain. I was —- at one stage I
was holding the camera up along the top of the gate, and
you know, I hit the gate and chain, which was sort of
bunched up dropped down and clanked against the thing.
The door opened a little bit, simply because it was, you
know, it was just chained, it wasn’t chained tight. You
could open it.

Q You never intruded into her property?

Q I think we hear you say something on that video
to the effect of spontaneous picket, or something. What
is that? What did you do?

A Well, what I was referring to by spontaneous
picket is Scientology refers to things -- like the picket
that they had in front of the church that day when Stacy
Brooks went out there and picketed, they said this was a
spontaneous picket by church members, who were supplied
the picket signs by Richard Howd out of his car. You
can’t get terribly spontaneous with that. So that’s --
it was just kind of a joke.
