KKK Member Harassed A Woman On Twitter, So Anonymous Killed Their Web Sites

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/10/17/kkk-member-harassed-a-woman-on-twitter-so-anonymous-killed-their-web-sites-screenshots/

Oops, it seems the Ku Klux Klan’s website went down again thanks to Anonymous — and this time it wasn’t over a large social issue like Ferguson. It was simply a defense of a woman who regularly finds herself attacked by the KKK’s acolytes. Conover Kennard, also known as Anomaly of FreakOutNation, is a woman with an interesting history. A rock legend’s widow-turned liberal blogger, Kennard is no stranger to controversy — but she has made a number of powerful friends over the years, including members of the hacktivist group Anonymous.

When he noticed a gentleman who goes by “Thomas Klan” on Twitter harassing Kennard, “Amped Attacks” couldn’t allow the situation to stand without some sort of answer. Kennard told Addicting Info that her friend took down “a few of their sites,” because one of the intellectually-devoid, meth-driven “not-racists” of the Klan was harassing her.

“He’s not a partisan guy and usually aims at ISIS sites – but we’re friends,” she explained. “So, he saw the Klansman that usually trolls me.” After a little bit — oops! Klan sites started dropping faster than Mike Huckabee’s campaign donations after he went full-on insane.

After the main Ku Klux Klan website experienced, shall we say, unexpected technical difficulties, “the KKK guy said which site he goes to. Well, that was like inviting Amped to take it down really so he did,” Kennard, who regularly irritates the hate group by highlighting the horrible things they do and say, told us. That site was home to the Traditionalist American Knights of the KKK, which threatened the lives of members of the hacktivist group during the protests that erupted after Michael Brown’s murder last year.

It's rumored that they were instrumental in stopping repug campaign vote suppression, especially Rove's shenanigans in Ohio in 2012 and thus, insuring that he didn't get away with his dirty tricks again which would have propelled Romney and Queen Anne into the White House.

I'm not advocating in favor of any illegal activity and I am not in support of the suppression of legitimate free speech (even abhorrent free speech such as the views of the KKK). I guess I am amazed at the lack of self awareness and assessment by these RWNJs.

They're set out to impose them on all of us whether we like it or not--and that's what we have to stop from happening.
