Anonymous Targets Westboro Baptist Over Threat To Picket Newtown

[Wes]

The hacktivist network Anonymous has released what it claims to be a cache of personal details of members of the Westboro Baptist Church, after members of the controversial religious group said on Twitter that they would picket Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the scene of a mass shooting where 26 children and adults were killed on Friday.

Supporters of Anonymous, a subversive community of digital activists and internet trolls, appear to have taken down the extremist group’s website, most likely through a distributed denial of service, or DDoS attack. They also posted a YouTube video threatening to “destroy” the group.

Twitter is blowing up #WBC

It seems the vitriolic, hyper-controversial group known as Westboro Baptist Church may have finally gone too far.

As soon as the WBC announced plans to picket a vigil for the victims of Friday's Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, hacktivist group Anonymous announced its own plans to retaliate against the group, with spokesperson Shirley Phelps-Roper so far bearing the brunt of the group's efforts.
In a video posted to Vimeo under the handle KY Anonymous, the group vowed retribution:
We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred," says the voice-over in the video. "We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social factions which you deem inferior. We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming.
Phelps-Roper, a relative of the group's founder, Fred Phelps, first announced the group's plan on Saturday "to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment" via her Twitter account.

Just when you think the Westboro Baptist Church can't get any worse they threaten to descend on Newtown.

"A group attached to the online hacktivist group Anonymous claims to have hacked the Web site of the Westboro Baptist Church in response to plans by the controversial church to picket the funerals of those massacred Friday at a school in Newtown, Conn.

As part of a campaign dubbed #OpWestBoro, KY Anonymous said yesterday it posted the personal information belonging to members of the extremist organization, which is best known for conducting protests designed to disrupt the funerals of members of the military killed in action. The data dump included the names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and physical addresses of dozens of alleged members of the religious organization. The group did not indicate where or how it acquired the data."

Does God not smite people anymore. Look as filthy as these WBC animals are, free speech protects them. Seems like a good lightning strike would be in order.

Leave them alone. God will deal with them.

You're right of course. But one is allowed dark thoughts. What do you suppose their premise is? Somebody related to someone was gay? Imagine the mindset.

Hopefully someday they will all go completely crazy and engage in a mass suicide.

I disagree. These people deserve punishment on this earth. I really would not feel any mercy for this people not matter what happened to them.

Well you are a better man than I am. I'm thinking a massive outbreak of leprosy or worse. Aren't I in the Christmas spirit.

The terrible thing about them, other than their protests, is that their are innocent chidren in this group who are being brainwashed into being just as degranged as the adults.

You can pray for them to get leprosy or at least hemorrhoids, but it probably won't work.

I once prayed for 4 years for lightening to strike a jackass engineering manager and it never worked. I then prayed for him to get a better job and move on, that actually worked in 6 months.

That constitutes child abuse in my book.

The people who take the "absolute" position on the 2nd Amendment should be willing to take an absolute position and support the church's 1st Amendment rights.

Dont start sucking on Anonymous just yet, they are still scumbags.

th3j35t3r is the one who took down WBC and their websites, and it isn't the first time.

Anyone who follows this "relationship" between th3j35t3r and Anon would know what low-life dirtbags Anon really is.

Get your learn on.

Clarification: Apparent collab between #Anonymous/myself on #WBC is a mere eclipse. We're still like sun & moon, but...
