Looks like the terrorist bastards are at it again. >o<
France has declared a national state of emergency and has closed its borders after at least 40 people were killed in multiple gun and bomb attacks in Paris.
At least 15 people were killed at the Bataclan concert hall, where gunmen took up to 60 people hostage.
Police have now stormed the venue and killed two attackers, French media say.
Others died in attacks near the Stade de France, with some reports suggesting a suicide blast, and at restaurants in central Paris.

Story has been updated now to include a much larger casualty count.

I'm just going to venture a wild guess and assume that it wasn't Christian extremists who were the culprit.

Witnesses are claiming they were screaming Allah Akbar.

Europe is in grave danger.

You know if these clowns got their hands on a nuke they would not hesitate to detonate it in a city.

One of the terrorists identified as a Syrian "refugee."
Shhhhhhhhooooocking.

So, apparently Aonoymous is going to war.

They'll get bored after a few days and go back to 4chan. They always do.

Anonymous the activist group is not associated with 4chan.
What does "they always do" mean anyway? Can you point out instances in which they gave up on something after a few days?

I predict they will have far more of an impact than the Obama administration.

Of course:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_events_associated_with_Anonymous
Granted, some of these were intended to be "one-off" instances of public shaming or raising awareness of a story, but any time they hold themselves out as standing in opposition or "declaring war" on a government, institution, or organization, they fizzle out after a short while and business as usual resumes for their opponent. Some of the big examples there are Scientology, whom they've been "at war" with on and off for years, the WBC, Paypal, and agencies that crack down on copyright infringement. I guess it's hard to be a vigilante when you're still in high school.

>not gaining results of standing in opposition means they weren't actually standing in opposition
ok sadaam
I'm just going to assume you're hellbent on hating the Anonymous, seeing as you're going as far as to hurl baseless insults at them for no reason, and don't actually have anything meaningful to say on the matter.

It's almost as if Saddam was talking about something that isn't tumblr!
-
fire works?
-
Yes because fireworks in a sentence talking about explosives can only mean "secretive killings"...

My friend was watching a video on liveleak earlier that showed a van full of ISIS members indiscriminately mowing people down as they passed by in cars or on foot. They looked like they were the same race as the ISIS members, and also probably Muslims. I think the ISIS members were just doing it for fun. Those are the kinds of people we're dealing with. I'd post the video, but it's extremely graphic.

We can all name examples of Anonymous slinking off and becoming irrelevant. Can you name any occasion where one of their opponents actually crumbled under Anonymous 'attack?' Apart from perhaps a few people on Tumblr or Twitter, of course.

How is that relevant?
-
It's relevant to people bringing up Anonymous's involvement as if it really matters. Ultimately, they have very little political or social power. It's not unreasonable to point this out.
>not gaining results of standing in opposition means they weren't actually standing in opposition
No, it's stopping what they were doing that indicates they were no longer standing in opposition. For example, if their method of protesting an organization was to DDOS their website, then logically we would expect a dedicated group to continue their attacks until they achieve the desired result. That doesn't happen with Anonymous. Their attacks always stop after a few days.
-

It is, however, unreasonable to only make frivolous accusations and insulting remarks without adding anything substantial to the discussion.

So far, they're doing okay for themselves.

Say what you may about Anonymous as a "group" - a mob of angry nerds is not entirely incapable of causing trouble.
