Unidentified public commenter accused ‘Scienthology/Scientology’ of sponsoring a Winter Wonderland/holiday parade on Hollywood Boulevard, alleged that permits and inspections have not been done since 2022, and called for an inspection by city authorities (asked someone to 'vaya con 67 24 y haga una inspección'). The speaker said they 'grew up in Scientology' and accused the event organizers of exploiting children and using 'esclavitud' in event labor. Multiple rhetorical questions challenged why the organization appears to receive permits and payments.
