‘We
will hunt you down’: KKK threatens to shoot Anonymous ‘n*****
lovers’
RT,
21
November, 2014
A
bitter war of words between hacker collective Anonymous and the Ku
Klux Klan risks spilling over into real violence, with the right-wing
hate group allegedly threatening to shoot dead activists wearing the
Guy Fawkes mask in southern Missouri.
Earlier
this week, Anonymous sent out a tweet relating an alleged interaction
between Frank
Ancona,
the self-described “Imperial Wizard of the Traditionalist American
Knights,” and a fellow KKK member.
In
the missive, Ancona allegedly said those wandering around rural
Missouri in a Guy Fawkes mask could “accidentally” find
themselves in a hunter’s crosshairs.
“Its
deer hunting season here in southern Missouri, it’s really easy to
see how a hunter could mistake someone wearing one of those gay
anonymous masks for the hind-end of a whitetail deer. Boom!!! Oops
sorry it was an accident,”
the message reads.
The
masks really come off in the next message attributed to Ancona, with
unveiled threats of violence and racist invective directed at the
hacker collective.
The
message claims the names of several Anonymous members have already
been obtained, including that of “Commander X,” described as ”The
Grand Wizard Of Anonymous,” and another member operating under the
handle @TrezSec.
“You
pathetic n***** lovers are going down, we’re NOT HIDING. WE’RE
NOT ASHAMED OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE REPRESENT. THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE
CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE OVERTHROWN, [sic]” the message signed with
Anacona’s name read. “We will hunt you down and tear those masks
from your face. You’ll be strung up next to the chimps. On display
for the whole world to see. The Klan is to be feared, not
threatened.”
On
Wednesday, individuals claiming to be affiliated with Anonymous sent
a video to News2Share saying they took the the statement as "a
direct threat on our lives" that they would not stand for.
The
video continued that hacktivists would employ every means necessary
to defend themselves.
"If
you attempt to aid the police [in the event of further civil unrest
in Ferguson], just know that there are more of us out there than
there are of you. But you will not know who we are. We are
everywhere. We are among the protesters and we are even among you.
Your violent ideology will not prevail in this fight."
They
further told the police of Ferguson that if they responded to
protesters in the city with violent tactics, they should know that
they are “being watched very closely.”
“You
man have the guns and badges, but when you are on the side of the
KKK, history will not look back on you kindly.
Take
our warning. To the KKK and police, be peaceful, or you will face the
consequences.”
The
two groups with a penchant for face-covering apparel began engaging
in a perhaps unequal “cyber war” after the KKK threatened to
use “lethal
force” against
protesters in Ferguson, Missouri.
On
Sunday night, Anonymous listed the KKK websites it had taken offline
on its Twitter feed, with reports of the attacks accompanied by the
hashtag #OpKKK.
The
group also
said that
information garnered from the seized Klan websites and Twitter
accounts could help them unmask several KKK members, likely sparking
the “we’re NOT
HIDING” triad.
On
Thursday, Anonymous released a video claiming they had information
from a whistleblower which they say would link the KKK to the
Ferguson Police Department. The group will not release the
information, however, saying its specificity would ultimately reveal
the source. Instead, they vow to “hold
this information until we can connect the dots ourselves.”
The
hacktivists earlier claimed to have identified KKK
members at a support rally for police officer Darren Wilson, who shot
and killed a black teenager named Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri
on August 9.
There
are fears further protests could erupt in Ferguson, with a federal
grand jury set to announce its decision on whether or not to charge
Wilson for the death of the unarmed teen.
