Take a thorough look at previous threads and you will find Scientology surrounded Pinellas Park like a dark cloud. The cozy quarters of Judge Greed in Clearwater is indeed adjacent to Scientology Central and their troops hovered around the hospice like the buzzards circling overhead.
I agree. I even mentioned Scientology's possible connection several years back and was warned off discussing it on these threads by other posters.
Back then, I also mentioned the connection between 1) Rice, Greer and other politicians, 2) the public relations firm of Repper, Garcia and 3) Garcia's work as a reporter for the St. Petersburg Times 4) Repper's connection with Scientology
A lot of these connections are summed up, more recently, on FreeRepublic at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1400868/posts
It's a short thread, with a lot of interesting connections and I had saved it to my links page.
Also, isn't Tampa-St. Pete the fourth or fifth highest crime center in the nation? Miami, Detroit, and Dallas have been fighting over first place.
