ANONYMOUS PLANS TO EXPOSE 1,000 KKK MEMBERS

In commemoration of the Ferguson protests that began last year on November 24th, Anonymous has announced its intentions to publicly identify 1,000 Ku Klux Klan members on the 24th of November. The 24th of November is the day the Grand Jury in St. Louis came back with a decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who many believe wrongfully shot and killed a teenager named Michael Brown earlier in the year. At the time, President Obama told the country, “We need to accept that this decision was the Grand Jury's to make.”

But Anonymous and perhaps millions of Americans do not agree. They saw the slaying of Michael Brown as one more notch in the belt of a criminal justice system which has systematically murdered young black men for decades with minimal accountability at best. The topic of white privilege and whether or not black Americans are disenfranchised became a subject of national interest.

Anonymous was not universally lauded for its activities during the Ferguson protests. A member of the group willfully doxed the wrong individual in relation to the killing, before the St. Louis police had identified Darren Wilson, and this caused some in-fighting in the group, who had not unilaterally approved the release. The Twitter account of @TheAnonMessage was subsequently deleted, but not before the life-threatening misinformation was spread.
