Thoughts?
Don't feel like reading those? Then basically what happened is Aaron Swartz spoke up against SOPA, and did other stuff like that. He was a very big supporter of the freedom of information thing. His initial lawyer said he was a suicide risk. They did nothing. He hung himself. This made Anonymous mad. So, they're attacking government websites. The first link gives you a youtube video uploaded by Anonymous that explains what they've done/will do/why they did it
RIP Aaron Swartz

They need to do something about these hackers. This is the same group that hacked PSN, I'm surprised they havent been caught.

too many to easily catch. and some have been caught.
On topic, if he was a suicide risk and they did nothing, that should get a lot of people in trouble. If it doesn't i don't object to vigilante justice, if there was heavy action taken against the people who refused to help him, then there's no point in my mind. I need more info for a more accurate opinion.

You can't catch them. They are everywhere. It's not like once you catch one, it'll go away. They are Anonymous. They have good principals. Sometimes they do what is right. But they also go overboard a lot of the time. But it's not like "hey, let's hack these people for fun" And there is no leader or anything, either. They are their own leaders. They do what they want. It's not something you sign up for. It's just something that you do

Anonymous keeps making threats but all they can do is hack. That's what they did afyer the megaupload incident. It did nothing.

That was so pathetic though. Protesting and all of that is going to do nothing against the government. They just grow more power hungry and corrupt as the years pass.

Yeah the Occupy movement accomplished nothing. If anything it lost a clear purpose and cohesion really quickly.
