ANONYMOUS WARNS TOMMY GORMAN: "… stay out of LA… "
Anonymous HATES Professional Anti-Scientologist Tommy Gorman. Sure this may be old news to some of you, but people need to understand the true nature of Anonymous, and this includes some of Anonymous’ more chaotic, and dangerous elements.
It would be stupid to ignore the fact that Anonymous began as a collective of decentralized cyber-terrorist cells (by most definitions) and has a long history of inciting internet based, slanderous attacks against innocent people. The attacks on Scientology are no better–simply on a larger scale. The following examples are representative of the 9000-1 hate campaign against Tommy:
Youtube.com user Anon2954283989 posted the following message on Tommy Gorman’s youtube channel:
“Gorman… stay out of LA… You will be ignored at the protests instead of welcomed. Same with magoo. Go have a bitchfit elsewhere.”
“You’re a f**king fa**ot. I’d love to fight you, pu**y.”
Youtube.com user HorseOfCastleRock’s was nothing short of ominous:
“….Tommy it’s time for you to GTFO b4 it’s too late. I hate you, half of Anonymous hates you, and it would be a terrible thing to see your name on the partyvan enimy list… But I’m looking forward to it….Expect us…”
Patmantx seemed a little “butt-hurt”:
“Tommy,You threatened an Anon with physical violence at a peaceful protest and still have yet to apologize. It takes a much bigger man to apologize when he is wrong, than to threaten someone. I’ve lost a lot of respect for you over this.”
Overall, I consider this a victory for those seeking to remove the influence of the “Old Guard” critics from Anonymous. Tommy has been stirring up hatred and inciting violence in the name of Anonymous for too long. After the recent–and obvious–hoax he and his wife just played on Anonymous, it’s likely that he’ll fade into the background as just another dangerous kook with a webcam.(Tommy Gorman, if you are reading this–they may be criminals, but they are not stupid.)
