Are you talking about this video? They hacked the police computer and got his name and address and put it in the video. The "threat" was to make him squeal. They have never physically attacked anyone so I would assume the threat is more in terms of hacking and releasing more information on him. Maybe embarrassing information at that. I can't say I feel sorry from him. Anonymous is good peoples they wont physically attack him. They aren't thugs like some of the police officers that have been going around macing people.

Here you can see how the cops infiltrated Occupy Oakland. Send out plaincloths pretending to be protestors.
That's no worse than ACORN paying people to be protestors
I view "Anonymous" as just being a bunch of cowards. They do everything behind a screen. If you got something to say, say it as yourself, not some computer-generated voice behind a tag.
That's how you get your doors kicked in by jack booted thugs and the gestappo. Thy are saying it as theirself, but just with protection providing safety. They'd be stupid to announce their presence to the world without cover. They might as well just shoot their self in the face as a similar act of self destruction.
Many called our revolutionary warriors cowards for their geurilla war tactics; but standing in a straight row is just stupid in war.
Sometimes being cowardly and carrying on the fight to the future is better than bravely jumping heads on into a problem with guns a blazing. It certainly is the smarter of the two decision.
Hey, I saw an alien spacecraft run down one of the protestors too. It wasn't an accident either as they backed up and ran him over again. Feel free to quote me on that... if it's written, it must be true.
Funny about your quote though... none of the video and pictures taken support it. How could that have possibly happened without a single picture or video of it being captured when you had scores of protestors with phones and cameras standing around?
Again, it's "news" you want to hear, therefore it must be true.
Your power of deduction is truly adventurous.
I guess what I'm still confused about was whether they were acting illegally or not.
Well, they are doing something that's illegal. It's why thieves wear masks when they rob banks.
What Anonymous is doing isn't fighting a war.
I'm not sure where publishing someone's information and threatening further escalation suddenly becomes "carrying on the fight", but okay.
When Martin Luther posted his 95 theses against the Catholic Church, he didn't do anonymously.
That kid who stood in front of the tank at Tiananmen Square didn't do it anonymously.
There are many examples of people who were frank and honest in going after something they believed was wrong.
The comparison is perfectly valid.
Civil rights era protesters who are civilly disobeying the law are met with police brutality. Occupy protesters civilly disobeying the law are also met with police brutality.
I think you're asking about the students? If campus authorities said they had the right to be there, they weren't there illegally. If Police didn't show up specifically to disperse the crowd, that further reinforces the fact they had the right to be there. And we don't see a Police presence arriving to disperse the crowd, so ...
Now about the legality of the actions of a few policemen? I'm afraid no matter how the law is written, the verdict is a foregone conclusion *smh*
I'm not sure the comparison is valid. Are we witnessing footage of any protesters breaking the law?
So basically you're calling the eye witness a liar. Way to show character. And yes, the videos do show the police pepper spraying the protesters in theface at point blank range.
The comparison is perfectly valid.
Civil rights era protesters who are civilly disobeying the law are met with police brutality. Occupy protesters civilly disobeying the law are also met with police brutality.
How come you support police brutality met to one group of civil disobeyers breaking the law but not another? That makes you a hypocrite.
No, it did not show them putting the pepper spray in their mouth as you attested to.
Character? What has character got to do with accepting something as truth just because someone said it was so? You don't believe my story that aliens ran over a protestor? What poor character you must have then.
No, it is not. In fact, you were building a straw man argument. Perhaps you should refresh yourself on the subject.
then the chancellor ordered the campus police to disperse them.
You're comparrison is so absurdly flawed. One has to do with a group of citizens seeking equality before the law, the other doesn't. Try to figure out which is which.
Ooh, I missed that part. Yah, that's no good changing the rules of engagement once officers are deployed. They should have all been brought back, re-grouped, re-outfitted, and re-appeared; ready to clear the place and announcing their intention. You're still talking about the vid in the OP? Or is this another location entirely?
