YourAnonNews has received added attention in recent days following a campaign-gone-viral that has targeted the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an infamous religious group that has planned to picket the memorials of the victims of last week’s school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Only hours after the massacre, members of the church said they’d be demonstrating outside of Sandy Hook Elementary School to protest the funerals of over two dozen people slain by 20-year-old shooter Adam Lanza. In response, Anonymous members asked others from within the international hacktivism collective to help silence the WBC’s attempt to disrupt the memorial. “We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred. We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social factions which you deem inferior. We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming,” members of Anonymous said in a statement released over the weekend. |
