Anonymi Fear Retribution

Members of an amorphous group called “Anonymous” held an “>9000 Anon March” (over nine-thousand, anonymous march) to protest the Church of Scientology, Saturday, July 19, 2008, in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Two protesters in the photo above are dressed completely in green fabric. Some protesters went to great lengths to cover their identity in fear of retribution by the Church of Scientology.

This photo is from a series of photos from the >9000 Anon March that will be published on Washington Photo Journal. More to come. Video soon. Be sure to add WaPhoJo to your RSS reader to know when more are added.

    Ah-Ha! So that’s what was going on. Yet another meme come to life! Yes, I remember this particular guy started off with a sad story then went into the Bel-Air rap.

    Cacophony, I can understand the entertaining aspects of the meme themes, and how they’re used at this point to get people interested in the Anonymous movement. But as an observer, I wonder at what point does that turn non-Internet-immersed people off? Or at what point do members get bored and move on to something else? Where does the movement go from here?
