Seattle "Speedrunning" attempt ends in first charges of hate crime & burglary; SPTV continues to promote the practice and disparage its opponents
In an escalating development that surprised absolutely no one, a "Speed running" attempt by three teenage boys has landed them in custody facing charges of burglary and hate crime this afternoon at 3:00pm, the 11th of May 2026.
The attempt involved a crowbar to break into the building previously locked by staffers and the deactivation the building's electrical breakers, alleges Scientology staffer(s).
While Scientology is little known for its honesty in both love and war, their use of extensive video surveillance is well documented for these kinds of criminal allegations.
Most notable critic of the cult have publicly expressed concern in the flashmob trend of "speedrunning" given Scientology's very litigious nature and unfortunate classification as a place of worship in the United States, forewarning the act will eventually result in this very scenario.
Following Scientology's well known Ethics doctrine of "putting a head on a pike", it is likely to use its extensive paralegal resources to offer State prosecutors all evidentiary and argumentation necessaries for hate crimes both to deter the practice and claim martyrdom.
Scientology aims to establish victimhood for itself as much as it can. OSA PR uses these cases to milk propaganda to its inner members for the cult mythos of "the embattled few against the tribulations of oppression" and diffuse its legitimate criticism citing examples of religious discrimination it succeeded at "proving".
SPTV Aaron Smith-Levin, Jenna Miscavidge and Streets LA continue to stoke and promote the practice and deride its opponents
Speaking of surprising absolutely no one:
Following his return having served 20 days in county jail 7 days prior, on conviction of physically assaulting a Sea Org Member, Aaron Smith-Levin has spent the last 5 days jumping on the trend promoting--though not joining--the practice of speed running and deride activists and academics expressing concern for its dangers and legal risk.
The two days before that, were dedicated to convey his displeasure against the judge sentencing him to 20 days in jail (though it was the jury convicted him, not the judge, I'm a stickler for details), plastering her picture across social media exponing the conspiracy she is compromised by Scientology >!^(because she went to the same school as Pam Bondi whose campaign received donations from billionaire Trish Duggan and that is why he has been the subject of persecution and absolutely, certainly not because feewings are hard.)!<
In his video Leah Remini calls out Scientology Speed Runners Aaron once more jumps on her every public message to offer us stunning legal advice such as:
- Scientology cannot catch all of the speedrunners even if one is targeted and prosecuted, so it benefits them to come in numbers.
It should be noted that while lauding and encouraging the practice, which is by legal definition at least a misdemeanor, neither ASL, Jenna or William Gude have, or expressed intent to, participate in them.
The core of their argument remain that "closing down" places like the LA test center is an effective way to protect the public from Scientology, whereas both Aaron, Jenna and every ex-scn who know how the sausage is made are aware these kiosks are fronts with practically no result in proselytizing scientology and usually manned by the least possible staff. Think JW door knocking.
They are a necessary fixture for tax exemption, for image, to abide to unadulterable but obsolete LRH Policy. It makes Scientologists busy and experience friction with the "outside world".
One does not shut down the Mormon church by stomping one of their muffin stands. It has nothing to do with the system of abuse. It changes naught. The spectacle, self-adulation and proclaimed success make good television. That's about it.
Aaron, Jenna and Gude know that. That 16 year old kid, did not. There-in lies a moral quandary.
The Ex-Scientologist Mind Virus
Aaron dropped a video at the time of this writing, The Ex-Scientologist Mind Virus, which will probably be recapped if this Council of Suppressives has the spoons today.
To their credit, it appears they were unaware of the incident at time of recording.
In a completely-not-AI-generated argument, Aaron posits that his brand of activism is delegitimized and devalued by the old guard such as Leah Remini (and people like myself, I suppose) still afflicted by the "mind virus", a remnant of scientology conditioning, which includes "saving mankind", preachiness and condescension. Oh my.
He claims there is also merit to his way, being a joker, to ridicule; and all many different types of protesting which presumably, the OG doesn't approve of.
I understand here that he speaks to his exclusion from most of the circles and academics in Scientology cult recovery. I assure you it's nothing to do with being a joker.
It was really his several recorded domestic violence with two different women, recorded sexpest behavior, several recorded drunken debacles, persistent shameless lying, inurement, cruelty, smear campaigns to those that hurt his wittle feewings or were just more competent than him, now conviction of assault... I'm surely missing a few, but neither here nor there at this point, right?
It takes someone like Aaron Smith-Levin to pathologize and find fault with empathy.
It's a selection bias, most ex-cult members just leave and live. You only see the activists that stuck around, and they're usually interested in people and in deconstructing and don't like to see people getting hurt for spectacle or doing illegal things, which objectively don't help except bulge ASL's or Jenna's or Gude's bank accounts and attract people into our tent that aren't really here for the right reasons.
"Right", in this context is not a point of moral rigidity. You can't abuse someone out of a cult like you can't beat someone back to sanity. We have to work with the same facts and current science. Unless that is not what one is trying to do:
