"but I'm sure likeminded individuals are a little more aware of what could happen if you do something like that on camera in the 21st century."
It doesn't have to happen on camera. All it takes is one person to take it on himself administer justice, which is kind of the MO of anonymous...
- jbooth 15y agoI must have been careless with my pronouns. I meant likeminded as in "think it's a good idea to assault 20yo girls who are peacefully protesting". Noone's gone after this particular asshole at his house, or even advocated that others should do so, and that's a good thing, but he should lose his job at the least. And, yes, I'm happy that there's a precedent that doing this kind of thing will get you exposed publicly for it.

If that's what you mean, I'd scrap that whole sentence. As to advocating retribution; that's what it looks like anonymous is doing if you watch the 'doxing' video. If all they needed to do was identify the man so that he could be more effectively brought to court, there would be no reason to list his address or relatives' names. The video reads like a threat to me and I'm surprised more people aren't put off by it. What's more, this man isn't the only one who has been threatened in this manner. I'm more concerned about the 'targeted' bankers, while they are probably unethical people and may have had a role in the financial collapse, they should not be treated to mob justice any more than anyone else. Hopefully mob violence won't happen, but the longer the protests persist, the greater the likelihood that shit's going to go down.
