Anonymous Clashes With D.C. Police During Million Mask March 388
Daniel_Stuckey writes "Scheduled to coincide with Guy Fawkes Night, a centuries-old day of remembrance typically celebrated in Great Britain, the Nov. 5 protest is something of a tradition for the hacktivist collective. Anonymous, which is often identified by the Fawkes mask used in the Hollywood blockbuster V for Vendetta, hosted a similar rally in 2011, dubbed 'Night of a Thousand Masks.' Protesters in Washington, D.C. clashed with police before noon. By approximately 10am, an arrest was made. The incident was livestreamed, and Anonymous claimed that the individual was grabbed and arrested after stepping off a sidewalk and into the street. A spokesperson for the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department declined to comment."

Maybe it's time to stop supporting three political parties all of which are further to the right than Thatcher.
But I guess everyone has to start somewhere, and that somewhere sometimes involves wearing a mask and burning stuff.
This protest is sponsored by... (Score:5, Funny)
...Time Warner Inc.'s Guy Fawkes masks.
Also Guy Fawkes failed to blow up the Parliament in real life, so this mask is a mask of fail.

In the spirit of things, I choose to set fire to your strawman.

One should not protest unless ready to start a revolution.
One time in band camp we thought it was unfair that they were increasing our dues so instead of petitioning for a review we set fire to the buildings and killed all the band leaders and took their wives as spoils of war.

Wow, with such eloquent speech I can't imagine how you ever couldn't find a job and ended up homeless.
