Anonymous vs Scientology: sometimes they shouted TL;DR
Tim Finin, 9:21am 11 February 2008Yesterday had been declared by anonymous as a day of protest against the Church of Scientology and a number of street protests were held around the world. People are blogging accounts of some of them, including one from London, where many wore V masks.
“In London, around 200 masked demonstrators gathered outside the Church of Scientology for a peaceful protest near Blackfriars. One unnamed protestor said: “We are here to raise awareness of the blatant exploitation of its members. “They actually scare me.†Onlooker Mark Thompson, 22, added: “You could tell they felt passionate about their cause. “There was a heavy police presence but they were never really used.” (link)
My favorite quote from the blog account was this.
It was the perfect internet anarchist protest. We shouted slogans. People with ghetto blasters played announcements. We shouted at THEM. People with megaphones addressed the crowd. Sometimes we cheered and clapped, sometimes we shouted “TL;DR!” (link)
