Came across something pretty disturbing/sick today on Reddit.
If you're in a bad mood or don't have a strong stomach for human fucking garbage I wouldn't recommend reading about it.
Anyways, Anonymous somehow came across a home video made by a high school football/baseball team laughing and reminiscing about gang raping, urinating on, and dragging outside a comatose young girl. The video is incredibly disturbing. They keep making references to how 'dead' she is now which I assume means her reputation because she's still alive. Apparently anon sent out some youtube video threatening to release the video and dox them all if they didn't turn themselves in for the crime. They didn't turn themselves in, so now it's on.

Interestingly, Anon had to host their evidence on this site I linked above. I know it's a sketchy .ru link but apparently every time they hosted it on a NA domain it got taken down for whatever reason. The link above should be safe.
Anyways, on to the real question.
How do you feel about anonymous and their vigilante internet justice? I must admit I am mostly fist-pumping about 95% of the stuff they do, but I think it's a bit scary if they get into a situation where they are misguided and are going after innocent parties. Someone playing devil's advocate brought up the point that what if these are just drunk/stoned high school jackasses making 'shock humor' about something that didn't actually happen. There's enough evidence outside of just the video to make you believe that this probably DID really happen, almost certainly, but it does make you wonder.
Like them or not, I do think everyone can agree Anonymous has had a very interesting impact on the internet as a whole.

kind of a cool concept, but like u mentioned some of the stuff they do is wrong.
seems as though a potential natural progression in vigilantism is to take it to far, to feel entitled, to go a bit crazy.
the concept is scary though, where does the invasion of privacy stop? i mean magnify anonymous, ultimate accountability is a scary thing imo

I didn't read all of this, but it sounds like you guys say gang raping 15 Year old girls is awesome. wtf...
Edit : Alright, now I got that this "Anonymous" guy is not part of the raping guys, but some organization that wants to catch those guys |

They gave evidence of gang-rape to the police. Sounds reasonable and not lynch-mob-vigilante to me. Yeah prob should have e-mailed it instead of hosting it publicly but that doesn't bother me at all.
Yes Anonymous taking action into their own hands (DDOS and whatnot) is stupid but this story is the aspect I can get behind. |

Just read through that thing...
I dont know if its all believable, especially that the sheriff and the prosecutor being in on it..
How can the prosecutor even be part of the case, there is clearly a conflict of interest there.... |

I believe it. In small towns, things like that may not get as enforced as much. |

A poker player from Steubenville who lives in my city actually showed me this and confirmed everything they said about the football players basically having immunity, so I think it's a good thing they were outed by anonymous... |

Says that the prosecutor is the mother to one of the guy in the "Rape Gang" and the act took place in her house or her sons house or whatever but im not sure i just read it quickly might be wrong |

anonymous seem aiiight. the bad stuff they do is not nearly as bad and as corrupt as the stuff a lot of democratically elected governments do.
Who gives a shit who does justice anyway, as long as it's fair, and considerate to human morality.
If this story is true, i think it's a good thing that someone, anyone did something about this incident, because i would hate to be raped and pissed on and have a whole town ignore me.

what do you think an appropriate penalty would be?
death?
jail?
i might be too compassionate and forgiving, but the effects of group think, and following through can't be undermined especially since they are kids. feel god awful for the girl though sigh.
do you think it would be fair for the victim to choose the punishment? |

also can this evidence even be used? i thought if it was obtained in an unlawful way, it would have to be discarded? |

I believe I read somewhere that the accused's mother recused herself from the case, as well as one other person who's relationship to the accused I'm not fully sure on but I'd imagine he volunteers/works for the school in some capacity. |
