The group Anonymous is taking the leading role of fighting for all of us. You may not agree with their tactics but how do you stand up to a government’s armed force without being arrested for ‘interfering’ when you want to voice your displeasure with how they treat our fellow citizens?
Whenever there is a social injustice done to any one of us it is done to all of us. Why? Because it shows their general attitude towards us.
When police feel they have the right to beat to death an unarmed person, or shoot to death someone ‘wielding a cement trowel’ or other obviously non-life threatening instrument, they feel they are exercising their right to ‘power over all of us’.
There are too many police officers who get a thrill out of exercising power over other people. These individuals need to be identified and ‘reprogrammed’ back into society.
Anonymous is a loosely knit organization for a very good reason. Choosing not to follow the typical ‘corporate-think’ that says any organization has to have a leader to succeed is beneficial on several levels. Decentralization allows more of us citizens to take matters into our own hands to do our part instead of relying on leadership to do it for us. We each need to take an active role in standing up to social injustice.
The established mentality of the government is that anyone who opposes them are criminals. Is it criminal to stand up to them? Is it criminal to voice our displeasure when the police use excessive force?
Instead of focusing on the messenger they need to focus on the message. If that were to happen perhaps there would be no need for the messenger.
It is not okay for our government to block any means of speech to further their power over us. Blocking of cell phones, just like blocking of news media, goes directly against our constitutionally given right to free speech.
If you give any little bit of it up where will it end?
We have no need to view the group as a threat, they are the good guys. They are an ally in fighting against a self-serving, power-hungry structure that chooses to suppress our rights if doing so furthers their desires to become more and more powerful.
Standing up for each other is the best way to stand up for ourselves.
