Creepy terrorist-style video from Anonops.
Ugh, the Anonymous fucktards are now imposing their rigid and hysterical notions of Bolshevism on a real-life town -- they can't keep it on the Internet.
Are people now starting to concede that malicious hacking is not a victimless crime, that not only does it cause millions of dollars in damage, but that it assaults our democracy?
Imagine, getting all in the face of a town and its laws, just because they didn't suit your particular brand of Internet-bred communism.
Anonymous has shown up this week to hack the web sites of the city of Orlando because they don't like town ordinances that prohibit mass feeding of homeless people in parts.
I find absolutely nothing wrong with that law, because parks are not for the homeless to hang out in and for do-gooders to practice their charity in. Parks are for the majority of people to use as places of rest and relaxation. The charities that run soup kitchens have buildings, there are other facilities, and they can supply their meals there.
The laws are made by a democratically-elected government in a liberal state. It's ok to have laws that prevent homeless people, squatters, and their lenient sympathizers from overrunning public spaces that are meant for other purposes: strolling, sitting and reading, having a picnic for the regular people in the society. It's ok to have societies that are not hijacked by radical minorities.
A park is not a homeless shelter. As is well known, many of the homeless are drug abusers and alcholics and severely mentally ill people. They need help, but that doesn't mean that they get to invade the public space. I see this every day myself around Union Square in New York City, which is a constant drug fest and homeless hangout zone as well as a very popular place for teenagers and breakdancers and office workers struggling to find seats on benches that aren't covered with urine or needles. The police have this area under constant surveillance and there are constant incidents there. The heart of this issue is the failure to provide housing for the mentally ill and substance-abusing poor, that's all. That issue cries out for solutions, but the pendulum of "returning them to the community" has swung way too far, as people are returned to the street, and that means parks and public libraries and streets.
Florida is a state absolutely overrun with the prescription drug painkiller abuse menace, and that's contributing to this situation, of course.
The local homeless advocates claim that this local law is "hiding the homeless." Well, wait a second. Hiding? Or demanding that they not take over the public space in a liberal-induced tragedy of the commons? The problems of the drug-addicted and impoverished are complex. They don't amount merely to provision of a Happy People Eating Noodle Salads moment and a shelter as many do-gooders have found. They should be cared for in proper facilities, not in open street situations that just breed a sense that the entire world is the street people's kitchen and toilet and flop house.
Interestingly, even the lefties running the homeless advocacy campaign don't favour Anonymous' tactics:
Members of Orlando Food Not Bombs condemned the cyberattacks. “We have absolutely nothing to do with Anonymous or any other group that is doing this kind of thing,” said one member, Ben Markeson. “And what Anonymous is doing is a distraction from the real issue at hand.”
It isn't "criminalizing poverty" to insist that the public space of a park be used for its intended purpose by the majority of the community. I'm four-square with what this unfortunately nameless official has to say:
“We will continue to enforce the city ordinance,” said the spokeswoman, who asked not to be identified out of a concern she would become a target of Anonymous. “We must continue to focus on what our Orlando residents want and not the desires of others from outside the community.”
And here she is witholding her name for fear of reprisals, as if she were an Iranian dissident! And this is America!
The youtubes and press releases have the usual word salad:
“Anonymous believes that people have the right to organize, that people have the right to give to the less fortunate and that people have the right to commit acts of kindness and compassion,” the group’s members said in a news release and video posted on YouTube on Thursday. “However, it appears the police and your lawmakers of Orlando do not.”
O rly b/tards?! The people who have the right to organize are the people of Orlando, not the people of the Internet preventing them from their lawful free expression and passing of laws in their democratic community. Overrunning parks with the homeless, and disabling websites are acts of vandalism and lawlessness, not kindness.
Once again, shame on these thugs from Anonymous, and may the FBI round them up for this assault on society.
And I wonder how long the hacker press and the tech press, with its sneaking admiration, will go on claiming that this sort of thuggery against democracy is "good for security" and "helps web site ownes find flaws in their system" and all that other bullshit.
