i'm surprised they reached this point.
either way, i'm not sure the "potential" the internet has for gathering offline random events is necessarily a good thing. |
you're ignoring the fact that people have free will...
the people participating in the protests are there because they agree with anon's gripes. if the gripes were immature and violent, i guarantee there wouldn't be many participants... |

also, i think it's funny how anon is essentially undergoing the same strategy as scientology is with regard to 'the obliteration of psychiatry'
anon's communication seems exceedingly rational compared to the you will hear scientologists speak amongst themselves (see video in recent thread) |

The BBC covered that:
| quote: | Masked demonstrators gathered outside London's Church of Scientology in protest against the organisation.
The group, called Anonymous, said they wanted to highlight the organisation's "inherent flaws" and "fight for freedom of knowledge and information".
The City of London Police said about 200 people took part in the peaceful protest in Queen Victoria Street.
After about two hours the protestors moved to the Scientology Recruitment Centre in Tottenham Court Road.
Similar gatherings took place outside Scientology Centres across the UK and in countries including Australia, Canada and the US.
In a video statement broadcast online, the organisers said: "The idea of Anonymous is to systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form."
'Religious bigotry'
They said they were campaigning against "toxic ideals" and a "corrupt leadership", not the beliefs of members.
Anonymous posted a Scientology video of Tom Cruise on the internet last month, which was taken down after complaints about copyright infringement.
Janet Laveau, from the Church of Scientology, said the protest group were "cyber-terrorists" motivated by "religious bigotry".
She said: "The actions of Anonymous will not interrupt the church's normal activities serving its parishioners and the community, and the church is working in co-ordination with local authorities to minimize the negative impact of this mask-wearing, cyber-terrorist group."
The protests were held on 10 February to mark the birthday of Lisa McPherson, an American scientologist who died in 1995 while under the care of the organisation. |

Anonymous has failed.
The entire point of Anonymous is to be anonymous. To work behind the covers, in the shadows.
As soon as people left their homes, they stopped being Anonymous and just ended up being loser b-tards WITH A CAUSE.
Remember people. These are the folks that are okay with CP, guro, rape, etc... |

Yeah, my favorite was their protest in Orlando a few weeks back, where they had videos of them without the masks, seemed quite odd for a group of people that call themselves 'Anonymous' to do such a thing. |

Actually, they were all masked, which is a way of keeping their anonymity... |

that. "religious tolerance" is for the weak and misguided. tolerance is how this got an opinion above its station in the first place.
short of killing anyone i support whichever methods they choose to employ. |

Falso!
Some of them truly did play the part of 'V'. The truly anonymous ones (just a few handful of people) actually had voice scramblers. |
