[citation][nom]weaselsmasher[/nom]This should be funny... assuming it actually happens and anyone notices. Heads gonna be busted, and nobody is going to do anything but cheer. That's what happens when you attack ordinary people and enable identity theft and credit card fraud.Anonymous talks big, but cops have guns and jails and courts and laws. Let's see if these tough-talking script kiddies have the balls to risk real consequences. Let's see if they'll bleed for their "principles". Personally, I think that they'll crumble the instant the cops hit the bullhorns, and not a one of them will have the spine to physically stand up to "the man". There may well be the need for real revolutionaries, but Anonymous ain't it. They're children playing with fire, who think this is a game. Revolution requires REAL sacrifice, but to date I've seen absolutely nothing from Anonymous to indicate they're anything other than graffiti-taggers and credit card thieves who attack ordinary people. Here's a BART rider's email and address, that'll strike a blow (somehow) against social injustice!Pathetic.[/citation]
What's going to be funny is when it's your turn to have your rights taken away and no one will stand up with you because the government has passively tamed the masses. You might want to read the story, they're already being arrested and beaten for their cause. And attacking ordinary people, really? Are you kids still crying because you couldn't play Playstation for a month? No one in Anon ever admitted to any credit card fraud, and this is a group of people that loves to admit to crimes. They didn't really enable anything either, considering any hacker that could take credit card information could easily set up a DDoS. So I can only imagine you're upset you had to go play outside awhile.
Cops have guns, but they don't have courts and jails and laws. All those things belong to the people. Oddly enough, you may be surprised to learn that the cops also belong to the people. Those government services are paid for with tax dollars and wouldn't exist without the people paying them. Their job is to protect and serve, not enforce 100 year old laws for Wall Street. It's a shame the US seems to have forgotten that.
There is a need for real revolutionaries, but it doesn't do any good when the majority doesn't even have a clue what's going on in the world around them. Anon may not be it, but neither are you, so enjoy standing on your soapbox in a comments section until the US convinces it's citizens that government censoring the internet is necessary to protect them, just like the Patriot Act was necessary to prevent terrorism. I mean, no more of your buildings fell over right? It must be working.

Guy Fawkes was an actual person who made a significant real world difference, not a Disney character. That's why there's a holiday named after him, and not a holiday named after Ariel.
