CULTinvestigation 99, b0b's interrogation

I was taken out of third period photography by S.Clark, the female security person at DHS. Even though I did know the reason for the encounter, I inquired as to what it was for anyways. She said she would tell me when we got to the security office... I don't understand why they try and keep things so secretive, I'm sure they already had some clue that I would go right off and let everyone interested know whats going on. Thats the whole point of this newz, to keep everyone informed on _real_ information, rumors suck.

Once in the security office, I sat in the chair with the round table. Fortunately, it wasn't a very threatening encounter since I have done absolutely nothing and had no obligation to give them any information. I definitely had the upper hand, and still do. It was just me, S.Clark and M.Canfield (the male security officer, who seemed to know more of what he was doing, as far as I could tell).

I was asked many things about THE CULT. They seemed to know that I pretty much run it, though my (full) name is mentioned nowhere on the web site... mostly for the reason of keeping a low profile in the case of just such an situation. They told me about the concern with Littleton and about the rumors of a bomb threat on May 10th (which honestly, I didn't know about until somebody told me people were getting questioned about it), and how if they didnt do anything about THE CULT, and something did happen, then they would be at fault. So basically, the whole interrogation of THE CULT comes down to one thing: Covering their ass.

Damascus High School has a file on THE CULT, which has probably been around for a little while. All I saw of it was a printout of text from the graffiti wall on April 28th - where the May 17th Action Quake thing was said, and also somebody said "the trench coat mafia will kill all of you" or something to that effect. The thing that makes this whole situation a pain in the ass is the fact that you lose all verbal connotation when you're posting to the anonymous graffiti wall. Statements such as that, meant to be satirical, are taken out of context by security (because they have to, apparently) and they decide its a reason for concern. I understand where they are coming from, but it's really no day at the park for me. Oh, and since they are reading this, for their surveillance records, I went to the park after school today for about an hour.

As far as people are concerned, they asked me chiefly about Rev. Cary. Who we all know, does have somewhat of a record, but I made sure to tell them with utmost confidence that Cary has no intent on doing any harm and never has. Its just security taking things out of context again (because they have to) to escalate the paranoia. I was also asked if revWill was William Miller, which he is not. I said he is a college student that lives in Frederick. Rev. Roach was also asked about, but I didn't remember who that was so I couldn't give them any information about that. They also asked if I was concerned that there were any loners, people with no friends, in THE CULT that might do something like this. I said no, because THE CULT is nothing like the trench coat mafia. We aren't a small group of elitist, isolated, mentally disturbed kids; we are a very large international group of all people (teenagers and adults alike) with no real common bond. We don't all hate the world, and none of us has any intention of blowing up the school or anything of the like. I have no concern about ANY member of THE CULT as far as doing something stupid like that goes.

Of course, I was also asked about myself. What college I'm going to and the like. Nothing too important. They informed me that they had to call my parents, and asked for a number where they could be reached. They also said the police may get involved and come to my house - something I really don't need to happen. Before calling my dad, the last thing they asked me is what kind of music I listen to. I said I listen to all kinds of stuff. S.Clark asked me if I listened to Classical, I said sure sometimes and then M.Canfield asked me if I had ever heard of Vic Demone (sp?).. They never actually got to the KMFDM, Korn, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson list. Then I called up my dad, gave them a short rundown of whats going on and told them that they needed to talk to him. I returned to class and that was it for today.

I'll be going back to the security office (because I have to) tomorrow, and I'll let you all know what happens from there.
