After Second BART Hack, Anonymous Planning Another Live Protest

[RandySF]

NOTE: Why do I think Anonymous is trying to start a violent confrontation? Another protest after publicizing officers' private information?


Anonymous has BART clearly in its sights and is currently organizing a second live protest scheduled for Aug. 22 at San Francisco's Civic Center station. About 100 or more protesters gathered at the same BART and Muni station this past Monday, forcing BART authorities and the SFPD to shut down four downtown underground stations for several hours.

The @OpBART Twitter account, a focal point of the ongoing action against Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) authorities, has been issuing a series of tweets urging people to show up for a protest next Monday at 5 p.m. PT.

BART has come under fire from free speech advocates and drawn the ire of the loose collective of online hackers and activists known as Anonymous for shutting down cell phone service during a protest last Friday over the shooting death of 45-year-old Charles Blair Hill by BART police in July.

1. If these dipshits fuck up my commute again I'm going to be pissed!!

BART passengers didn't shoot anyone, nor did they shut off BART's free, voluntary cell phone service. BART has a headquarters, and so does their police department. You don't get your message out by pissing off the people you're trying to reach! :grr:
