In Lancaster, Pennsylvania on Saturday, August 29, 2009, the Citizens Against Public Surveillance (CAPS) is holding a large protest against the implementation of surveillance cameras deployed in Lancaster, PA, and is inviting all who want a voice in this matter to attend. CAPS is a recent offshoot of the Lancaster Coalition for Sensible Security (LCSS), and is organized to end the hasty deployment of the privately run, Orwellian surveillance system in a city of 55,000 people with a 25% poverty rate.

The CAPS protest will be held this Saturday at Farnum Park (Water & Conestoga Streets) at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 29, 2009. The protesters will then march to Lancaster Square at 2:00 pm for the rest of their rally. The theme of the rally is – “Take the cameras down.”

Meanwhile, a camera inside another bedroom shows another of the Billingses' children, who seems to be between 10 and 12 years old. The girl is resting in her bed as the camera captures a van appearing in her window, with men running out of it and into the home.

The young girl appears startled by the commotion. She walks to the door and then back to her bed, where she hides under the covers. At one point, she covers her ears with her hands and then walks back and forth from the door to the bed several times.

Less than five minutes later, the gunmen are again seen in the window, climbing inside the van. The girl runs to the window to watch them piling into the van and driving away from the home.

Media representatives were also shown crime scene photographs from the slayings. The photographs show Byrd Billings lying at the foot of his bed. He appears to have been shot multiple times in the face. Melanie Billings is seen lying on her back on the floor about 10 feet away.
