Im Alter von 75 Jahren - An Komplikationen einer Staphylokokken-Infektion - Mit Rolle als Polizeichef in "Der weiße Hai" weltberühmt geworden
International berühmt wurde der Schauspieler deutsch-irischer Abstammung mit seiner Rolle als Polizeichef Martin Brody in Klassiker "Jaws" ("Der weiße Hai"). Ein Killer-Hai macht dort eine Küstenstadt in den Neuengland-Staaten unsicher. Gegen den Widerstand der Lokalpolitiker und Geschäftsleute arbeitet er mit zwei Hai-Spezialisten zusammen und erledigt die Bestie nach dramatischen Kämpfen. Scheider drehte in seiner Karriere mehr als 40 Filme. Zwei Mal wurde der am 10. November 1932 in Orange (US-Staat New Jersey) geborene Schauspieler für den Oscar nominiert, allerdings konnten jeweils Konkurrenten die begehrte Trophäe gewinnen.
The Internet group Anonymous today held protests critical of the Church of Scientology. The protests marked what would have been the 49th birthday of Lisa McPherson, who is claimed to be a victim of the Church of Scientology's practices. Lisa died in 1995 during a running of what Scientologists refer to as an Introspection Rundown, a procedure intended to help Church members deal with a psychotic or deeply traumatic event.
Protests were planned throughout the day in 14 countries and over 50 different cities. The estimation of total protesters world wide for Feb. 10, 2008 is 9,250 people.
Wikinews had correspondents at a number of protest locations to report on the events. This article was updated throughout the day with reports from around the globe.
Phuuuu, das wars erstmal... Besonders toll ist folgende Tatsache The protest was delayed by 30 minutes so the protesters would not interrupt a Presbyterian Church service. ;-)
Update:
3 Scientologists in different locations were arrested for attacking the protesters.
At one protest 2 People got hit when the engine panel on a bus snapped open and smacked them (It had been windy in that location which caused it to snap open)
the CO$ in Georgia called out the Riot police, who spent 3 hours standing there in their face masks.
1 Person showed up in Tokyo, all by himself, 4 protesters showed up in Tel Aviv.
There were Freezoners at the London Protests, some of the live feeds had anons chatting with them.
"Anonymous" now has a bunch of faces to go without its name. The loosely bound group of net activists who've got a beef with the Church of Scientology showed up Sunday at the church's largest Los Angeles' locations. The protests were part of a global day of demonstrations against Scientology. Hordes of masked, costumed (and mostly young) picketers showed up in Boston, New York, Toronto, the U.K., Australia and a dozen other locations (thanks wikinews).
Many of the Los Angeles picketers wore the Guy Fawkes masks made popular in the movie "V for Vendetta," and it seemed like every other person was recording the event with a digital camera, camcorder or cellphone.
The protests were peaceful and colorful, with music and chanting (often: "Religion is free -- No Pay Per View" -- a reference to an alleged tiered system whereby the religion's adherents must pay money to gain spiritual clarity). A near constant stream of horn honks provided the background noise as cars passed the Scientology center on Sunset Boulevard and continued as the mob moved to the so-called Celebrity Center on Hollywood Boulevard. At least one ambulance and several fire department vehicles honked as they passed.
Security personnel, some wielding video cameras, were stationed at every entrance to the Sunset Boulevard center. Most wore impassive expressions and, when spoken to (or in some cases, danced with) by rollicking protesters, would betray no more than the wryest of grins.
Protesters were quick to hand leaflets to any cars that slowed or stopped for red lights -- and many drivers freely accepted them.
"Ask a Christian about the Bible; you will be answered," read one leaflet. "Ask a Scientologist about their text: You will be answered -- after your check clears."
A Fawkes-masked spokesman for Anonymous, who wouldn't give his name but whom several protesters identified as the organizer of the L.A. event, explained one of the group's concrete goals.Img_0121
"We want set off a government investigation into how they got tax-exempt status," said the man, who said he was in his early 20s.
The protesters Sunday looked mostly young, white and computer-oriented -- few had anything like a serious tan -- but among the group were other more established anti-Scientogy elements, such as investigative journalist Mark Ebner, Mark Bunker from Xenu TV, and several people who identified themselves as former Scientologists.
Asked to explain the sudden groundswell of opposition to Scientology, Lynn Fountain Campbell, who said she'd been part of the church for 40 years, said, "It's just reached a critical mass. People just aren't scared anymore."
"They try to make people shut up," Campbell added, "and I'm not the shutting up type."
PROTESTERS in masks demonstrated outside the Church of Scientology's Adelaide headquarters yesterday afternoon.
The three-hour rally was part of an international campaign against the church and coincided with similar events interstate and overseas.
An internet-driven group called Anonymous was behind yesterday's protest, which has taken down a Scientology website after declaring war on the church.
Anonymous, whose membership included hackers, has begun a "third wave" of attacks in the week-old operation dubbed Project Chanology, according to reports on News.com.au
About 150 people in masks gathered in Victoria Square before marching on the church's Waymouth St office, where they were met by security officers guarding the building.
Curtains were drawn across the windows of the office and the protest was ignored by those inside.
Adelaide rally organiser David, who would not give his last name, said the group wanted to warn people Scientology was a dangerous cult.
"They charge money to go up levels in the church and they use psychological abuse to keep people reined in," he said.
He said people were hiding their faces because the church was known to harass people who opposed it.
Protesters carried banners and placards denouncing the church and distributed leaflets to passersby.
A statement from the church says Anonymous is a "group of cyber-terrorists" who hack into websites.
"Anonymous is perpetrating religious hate crimes against Churches of Scientology and individual Scientologists for no other reason than religious bigotry," the statement says.

On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.
