I think it was the Nikon.
Seriously, though, do you get the sense that these people are completely blind to the irony? I think that they are, I really do. That little trivia point about the Seed connection doesn't hurt my theory one bit, either.
They talk SO much shit about anyone who dares call them on the carpet, then they go whining to the fucking FBI cause some local college student wants to take some pictures of the facility. That rather gives lie to the notion of the local community having regular, familiar contact and interaction w/ these kids, doesn't it? I mean, evidently, no one--not even parents, let alone local folks--are allowed within sight of the main campus.
They flagrantly disregard lawful custody orders, in spirit and letter, then cry Wah wah wah! But tresspassing is illegal!
Reality check, folks! Interstate kidnapping is a felony, tresspassing is just about the most minor misdemeanor on the books. You are supposed to be, not only responsible, mature adults, but you bill yourselves as experts in fuckin' w/ other people's kids! My God! How does one go about maintaining
that level of delusion for so long?
And never mind all the mind games. I'm sure ya'll can fairly figure who most of the anon posters are around here. They're not just disrespectful, they can be downright evil. And who, I really want to know and I expect we will know fairly soon, who has been making those threatening phone calls. That can also be a felony.
I think this entire industry is just rife w/ people just exactly as crazy and dangerous as David Koresh or Chuck Dederich or Jim Jones or any of a number of sadistic megalomaniacs down through history.
