    Oh boy Anonymous again. They always have some scary video that ends up being nothing.

    Also the people who actually think Anonymous could have gotten America's codes for their Nuclear arsenal(which i doubt anonymous was referring to) greatly overestimate anonymous's capabilities and greatly underestimate the US governments security. And honestly if Anonymous released them, they would be the dumbest people on earth.

    What about the problems of individual people deciding that their personal interpretations and beliefs supersede the law of the land, which despite your griping is fully constitutional?

    Do the technological equivalent of tearing down the CIA's posters and running away snickering?

    I remember seeing the stories about their "attacks" on websites a few months ago, but from what I read many were discrediting it because it was a DDoS attack or something along those lines (I have no idea about what they really do or how). Anyways, I was just wondering: is Anon is actually as badass as they make themselves out to be?

    I'm guessing no.

    Lol! Not at all... They talk a big game with scary ominous videos but they don't do much. Anyone can claim they are with anonymous and do stuff under their name.

    The constitution was created to serve the people. When it no longer performs that role, it no longer serves it purpose and thus needs to be changed or scrapped.

    It seemed like people were saying Anon pulled off simple methods and took down sites only for a few hours back when I first heard of them. I would imagine taking over a government website is not easy though.

    To put it more plainly: When the government starts to overstep its bounds or stops doing its duty, that's where the Second Amendment comes in.

    Believing and deciding is perfectly fine because I don't believe in thought-crimes, but an action that violates law will inexorably be punished by the criminal justice system, whether unconstitutional or otherwise.

    Blissful ignorance of the purpose of the constitution aside.... you're acting off of an extremely, extremely selective viewpoint in what is going "Wrong" or not.

    Did I ever mention thought crimes?

    This video explains why Anonymous hacked and defaced the United States Sentencing Commission(ussc.gov)

    Ya, they slowly grew. The site has been theirs for many hours now, and is still up and able to be loaded. Pretty good considering the government is probably working nonstop to get control back and it has taken at least 2 hours so far.

    No, it was a statement I made on my own, rejecting the idea of them. You don't have to get pissy.

    'Taking over' ussc.gov is akin to stealing a STOP sign...

    But this isn't getting a message out... You could poll 1000 random people and ask them what the USSC is and i bet 95% of them would have 0 idea. And even if some people knew would they ever go on the website? I can't think of one good reason to go on there... So the audience they are reaching is forum kids like us and reddit. Mainstream will find out if the media runs a story on this but i doubt it will get any national attention UNLESS they actually have the dirty details they claim to have and release them. But holding a website does nothing. Unless it's like facebook or google....

    Exactly. More like one of those signs with the curvy road symbol. Most people don't know what it means,

    Taking down and controlling a government website isn't newsworthy? You must be joking to believe that.

    Oh please. Do you really think the government is putting huge security behind some insignificant website? NO ONE VISITS IT EVER! I'd be impressed if Anonymous really has info on the government though.

    If they did, I'm sure the government would take them more seriously and prosecute up the butt.

    Maybe insignificant, but it is still a government website. That alone makes it newsworthy. Yes I am interested to see in the next few weeks what comes of the information they claim to have.

    Got to find them to prosecute them. They say they have been in this process for more than 2 weeks. If that is the case than the government either ignored it or could not find out/did not know what was happening and where it was coming from.
