What these guys are doing is cowardly. They continue to push that they are doing it for the greater good, and that they are morally just. They continue to push that they are up there with the great dissenters. MLK, Ghandi, Mandella, they didn't hide behind anonymity. Facing death they made it known who they were and what they stood for.

Instead they wear their masks. V for Vandetta, really? Guy Fawkes did NOT hide behind a mask.

LULZ AND ANON. IF YOU ARE SO SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS GOOD AND JUST, STOP HIDING. REMOVE YOUR MASKS. BE WILLING TO FACE JAIL FOR YOUR ACTIONS. MARTYR YOURSELVES FOR YOUR CAUSE. STOP LETTING OTHER PEOPLE TAKE THE HEAT. STOP SAYING THAT YOU DON'T FEAR THE GOV'T AND AUTHORITY WHILE SITTING BEHIND THE DARK WALL OF THE INTERNET.

It's turning out that they are what we thought they were all along, a bunch of young punks with no guts.

Maybe I'm reading between the lines here, but it seems like you want them to push harder and take more risks?

"they didn't hide behind anonymity" "they made it known who they were" "did NOT hide behind a mask" "STOP HIDING" "REMOVE YOUR MASKS" "SITTING BEHIND THE DARK WALL OF THE INTERNET"

There are no lines to read between. If by take more risks you mean that they should stop on one hand saying that they have no fear of the government/police or the repercussions of their actions, that they fully believe that what they are doing is good and just, and on the other hiding their identities. Than yes, that's exactly what I mean.

If they are so sure they are right and that this "movement" is supported and needed by the masses, they should come forward and publicly reveal their true identities and locations.
