Anonymous Reportedly Plans to Expose KKK Members' Identities
The hacker group Anonymous are reportedly planning to expose closet members of the KKK, according to the "Operation KKK" Twitter page.
In 2014, Anonymous released the first round of names of members in the extremist group under #OppKKK in 2014 after they planned to cause harm to Ferguson protesters. This year they plan to reveal the names of KKK members on November 24, the day the riots started in Ferguson after a grand jury decided not to charge Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
Anonymous sent out a message regarding their plans, "Ku Klux Klan, We never stopped watching you. We know who you are. We know the dangerous extent to which you will go to cover your asses. Originally, we did not attack you for your beliefs as we fight for freedom of speech. We attacked you due to your threats to use lethal force in the Ferguson protests. We took this grudge between us rather seriously. You continue to threaten anons and others. We never said we would only strike once."
They added, "After closely observing so many of you for so very long, we feel confident that applying transparency to your organizational cells is the right, just, appropriate and only course of action. You are abhorrent. Criminal. You are more than extremists. You are more than a hate group. You operate much more like terrorists and you should be recognized as such. You are terrorists that hide your identities beneath sheets and infiltrate society on every level. The privacy of the Ku Klux Klan no longer exists in cyberspace. You've had blood on your hands for nearly 200 years."
