Paranormalcy Posted November 6, 2015 #28 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I am a little skeptical of his paranoia of Anonymous protests being "violent". The fireworks were potentially not for the purposes they used them for (the horses) and whatever happened to the police car was obviously illegal. But we're allowed to demonstrate. And demonstrators that cause destruction should be prosecuted, but otherwise, it's a protest. I'm not sure how it got this kind of fearful reaction before anything happened, unless they're been consistentl gone on rampages in previous protests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, there was quite a bit of trouble last year. Lots of personal property damage of innocent people in the area. They expected an even larger crowd this year and prepared for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted November 6, 2015 #31 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Strangely... BBC tv news didnt mention it Surely the best approach, rather than giving the silly little twerps the oxygen of publicity like the daily Mail always does. Let's see how Anymous get on with having to rally support from their elite band of activists through Twitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayde Posted November 6, 2015 #35 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) We've the right to protest, no denying that, but when a bunch of idiots begin a fight, torch police property, break windows and act like morons, then perhaps there ought to be penalties levied. For example, 50 folk got nicked, correct? Well, since all police vehicles are paid via taxation, we are in fact going to have to pay for a new patrol car. Why not fine the 50 jackasses £200 each, to help the cost and get a replacement? They may not be the ones responsible, but they were involved with the march, they got nicked, so they should have no trouble contributing to the aftermath of their little masked friends behaviour...

Where's President Snow when you need him? There's someone who knows how to deal with public Order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellapenella Posted November 6, 2015 #40 Share Posted November 6, 2015 i was being, in case it wasn't obvious, sarcastic, referring to the fact that the brave gang of anti-Capitalist protesters known as as Anonymous, if that isn't a contradiction, spend most of their time huddled behind a computer screen viewing the world outside with fear.

seeder Posted November 6, 2015 Author #42 Share Posted November 6, 2015 You seem anxious for confirmation that they did achieve their aims. Are you a secret anarchist? Not in the slightest, not a fan at all. But they have a reputation of sorts and the net is full of those who are easily impressed to go and riot. Bit like those UK muslims who go fight for IS.... brainwashed on-line in many cases. The fact it happened abroad too is proof of their 'doctrine' affecting others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranormalcy Posted November 6, 2015 #44 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) I don't agree with the characterization of Anonymous as "anarchists" any more than I agree Snowden is a traitor. I don't necessarily think they're "heroes" but I think there's an awful lot of demonization, but that's still the problem. They're not one thing, and this, like the Middle East, is just too confusing for people to process, so they boil it down to "one good side, one bad side" even if the reality does not support this. I support some of what Anonymous does, and don't support other things, just like a political party or your favorite celebrity or the whole Gamergate thing. We don't have to be "all in" for things - we can use discernment and reason and say "this part here, is crazy and bad for everybody".

You' really think Anunymous are interested in anything other than causing trouble? They're just a bunch of hackers, after all. All they want is to show what mad skillz they have. They're no more interested in social justice than that unpleasant website, what's it called, the one where people tend to post before going on a shooting rampage.

Shayde Posted November 7, 2015 #48 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Oh, if only the protestors had done this. Mainly because unlike when it happens in fictional telly and movies, they'd then find out that the police and authorities might not laugh it off, and the majority of the public would laugh also, but the powers at be would come down so hard, they'd discover just how draconian a government could get.
