As long as government officials (police, politicians, the Republican-Tea party, etc ) continue to abuse and take away rights and liberties of our citizens, "We The People" have a right to fight back against such tyranny. If there were a checks and balances system in place to assure that when those in power, government officials, politicians and the Republican-Tea party abuse and take away our rights, that they are somehow brought to justice, then I would be adamantly opposed to "Anonymous." However, since these usurpers of rights and freedoms continually go unpunished, it is the citizen's right to fight back and try to put an end to such tyranny in whatever manner they are able.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." ~ The Declaration of Independence

The online hacking group referring to itself as Anonymous has come a long way since its roots on 4chan, with recent attacks targeted at everything from the 2009 Iranian election to Malaysian Internet censorship. They were even connected with the Playstation Network outage earlier this year.
Their latest targets are perhaps their most ambitious.
According to The Los Angeles Times, Anonymous sent out notices to the Fullerton Police Department and Bay Area Rapid Transit for separate instances of assumed police brutality, suggesting it would be their "last warning" before they take action against the official organizations.
Their message to Fullerton police was in response to the death of Kelly Thomas, a homeless man who died allegedly at the hands of police officers.
It read, "This is not just a brutal attack against another human being, but an attack against human rights," and called for the "immediate resignation of the Chief of Police in Fullerton, California."
Their statement to BART was in response to the shooting death of Charles Hill, and particularly the transit system's decision to shut off cell phone service in some of their stations after the shooting occurred.
So far, only BART's official website, MyBART.org, has been "hacked" with a link to an Anonymous Twitter feed.
Police are obviously taking the threats very seriously.

It's really hard to tell who's right, i'm just after any will of change, and trying to make thing better.
Such Law's do exist and were once treasured and honored by America and her government. Those Law's affected the formation of our very Constitution.
"We' tossed out the foundational basis of our civil laws and Constitution and now we are reaping our reward.
Many in authority - from police, to judges, to politicians - behave like criminals and get away with it, so it's little wonder that other people think breaking the law is no big deal.
These hackers may or may not have good intentions; believing this is the only means to 'right' what they view as wrong. The obvious danger is the basis upon which they determine who will be hacked, and who will be the judge of that.
Somebody who has the balls and no know-how, or somebody who knows what to do, but not how to do it?
Perhaps if these people got together.....
"And did they get you trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cold breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?"
