Anonymous Plans Ops to Take Down Confederate Monuments at 11 Sites Friday

The hacktivist collective Anonymous is planning a "Denouncement Day" this Friday to "denounce the Confederacy, to denounce racism, bigotry and hate," saying "it is time to take down these monuments of hate ourselves."

Supporters plan to gather at 6 p.m. EST at the statue of Rear Adm. Raphael Semmes in Mobile, Ala., the Confederate Soldiers Monument in Little Rock, the Jackson Guards Memorial in Jacksonport, Ark., the Searcy Confederate Memorial in Searcy, Ark., the Our Confederate Dead monument in Munn Park in Lakeland, Fla., the Confederate Monument in Piedmont Park in Atlanta (which was defaced with spray paint this week), the Corinth Confederate Monument in Corinth, Miss., the Confederate Soldiers Monument at the Bryan County Courthouse in Durant, Okla., the Confederate Monument in Lynchburg, Va., the Mecklenburg Confederate Soldier in Boydton, Va., and the Robert E. Lee sculpture in Charlottesville, Va.

Additional locations could be added as suggested, the release from Anonymous said.

In a video titled "We are Angry," prefaced with footage of protesters toppling a Confederate soldier statute in Durham, N.C., this week, Anonymous calls it "a sad state of affairs when in the year 2017 we still have Nazi party flags flying high and terrorists still killing for the Nazi cause."

Take down all the FDR statues. He incarcerated the Japs.

Incinerated them, too.

Or maybe that was Truman.

Bonus: For any applicable felony riot convictions in Antifa/BLM attacks that lead to a death, we have the “felony murder” law. Nazi, KKKI, Antifa, BLM - it doesn’t matter - if they commit a listed felony during one of these riots and anyone dies, charge them all with murder, prosecute, and convict. I strongly suspect the Antifa/BLM violence was directly connected to the mentally-ill driver’s panic in Charlottesville and thus to the death of the Antifa woman. Anyone involved in felony violence in a situation that leads to a death belongs behind bars for a very long time.

Note: In Virginia, this rule provides that anyone who kills another human being during the perpetration or attempted perpetration of arson, rape, forcible sodomy, inanimate or animate object sexual penetration, robbery, burglary or abduction is guilty of first degree murder. This would not apply in Charlottesville, but it would in the Ferguson and Baltimore riots (I checked their state laws).

The real point? If these thugs riot in law and order states, they should expect their lives to be ruined.

Black ops. Anonymous has about as much interest in this as a cat does in swimming. This is the government using a group as cover for their own resources, much like how they deface Tor as being for kiddie porn when the regular internet content-to-porn ratio is 1000x worse.
