I have been watching this unfold for awhile, since the beginning, and can give an honest opinion. I'm not a member of either the church or the anonymous group. I'm jsut some guy thats watching this thing unfold, and got pulled into making a stand.
To be fair, the kid did break the law, and thus must be punished by the laws of the land. When the attacks started back in Janruary of 2008 anonymous existed ONLY on the internet until people received messages from people that used to be in the cult, and urged them to channel thier justice through legal means. The DDOS attacks stopped, and the legal protests began. While breaking the law is a crime, in this case it spawned something far greater, 9 months later scientology is losing money, and has began to shrink in membership as people as begining to realize what they are really about (money)
People have the right to believe in what they want, but when others take advantage of that for profit, it becomes not religion but fraud. I urge everyone to just do a little research on their own, and you would be surprised in what you find. Whether you want to take the side of scientolgy, or take up a mask yourself and join the protests of gross human rights violations are up to you, but at least inform YOURSELVES, and impower yourself to make the right choice from there.
