Anonymous, Maryville And The New Vigilantism | The Daily Beast

How did Anonymous go from a group devoted to goofs like the rickroll to self-appointed victim's advocates in Maryville and Steubenville?

By Jacob Siegel, October 19, 2013

After helping, and botching the Steubenville rape case — drawing attention and outing villains, though not always the right ones — Anonymous is at it again, slaying demons in Maryville.

Last two paragraphs:

The greatest problem with Anonymous vigilantism is that they’re even less accountable than Batman, not only masked but formless. Where the law fails and authority abdicates its responsibility, there can be a case for vigilantism as a morally justified legal trespass. But the vigilante, to make that claim, must be his own moral agent willing to stand behind his appeal to justice.

One way of understanding Anonymous’ evolution might be to recognize that in the quest to try everything, once they've arrived at the same conclusion as many other inveterate seekers, it gets lonely out there. So it’s best to focus on a few things you find gratifying and stick around long enough to reap the rewards. Somehow they have moved from hate talk to hunting haters, or at least those people they see as such.

Um, so ignoring rape is somehow ok because we wear masks?
What a shithead.

He's making the mistake of assuming that it's all the same people. For starters.
OTOH Daisy's article is awesome! Go, Daisy, go! We support you!

It's official!

(Reuters) - A Missouri judge on Monday asked a Kansas City prosecutor to take over the investigation of an alleged rape in the town of Maryville, a case that attracted national attention after it was publicized by the computer hacking group Anonymous.
The Clerk of the Nodaway County Circuit Court, where Maryville is located, confirmed the appointment of prosecutor Jean Peters Baker in the case involving a former high school football player accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl at a party in 2012. Charges were filed against the boy but later dropped.

EXCELLENT CHOICE!
http://www.kansascity.com/2013/10/21/4567375/jean-peters-baker-will-make-sure.html

Baker is not part of any, good-old boy system that is at the heart of what appears to have gone terribly wrong in the Maryville case, according to critics.
Instead, Baker is a woman, a hard-nosed prosecutor who helped pursue Bishop Robert Finn on accusations that he had failed to report suspected child abuse in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. A judge last year sentenced him to two years of probation for that charge.
And more to the point, here’s what Baker said after Finn’s sentencing:
“All of us are responsible for the protection of children. None of us should ever place on a child the responsibility for their own safety. That's our job. That's a leader’s job.”
So Baker has a special affinity for knowing that people in power can fail children, especially when it comes to sexual abuse.

She looks like a fantastic choice.

At a brief news conference on Monday afternoon, Baker said she has already asked a special unit to be involved in the investigation of the sexual assault claims in the small northwest Missouri town.
“I know this case has raised a variety of concerns. So please know this: This case will be thoroughly reviewed. Our review will be without fear and without fair," Baker said. "I can also assure you that politics, connections will not play a role in our review in this case."
Baker asked the throng of reporters assembled for patience and said she would not be commenting further on the case until the review was completed.

There was a misprint of her quote. It's "At a Monday news conference, Baker said her office would “thoroughly review” the case “without fear or favor.”"

Baker, who handles one of Missouri's busiest and most intense prosecutor's offices -- and who was appointed by the only Democratic judge in rural Nodaway County -- added that her special victims unit would handle the case.
“This is going to be a process, and for now, this process must be an internal one,” Baker told reporters. “My office will not be commenting on this case as we undertake our review. And when the time comes, I promise you … I will announce those charges, whatever those may be.”

RAPE CULTURE is thriving in the Capital of the Confederacy at the UNIVERSITY of RICHMOND.

I don't know how many rapes have been covered up, but I do know of at least one and I'm sure there are plenty more. A friend in one of my classes told me she had been raped by a football player but when she reported it to the administration they dismissed her complaint and no action was taken - sound familiar? Perhaps because they just built a huge multimillion dollar football stadium.

This winking at sexual misconduct can also be seen in the tenured faculty when the former Dean of the Humanities (now a Psychology professor) was charged with sexual harassment and had to settle the case. Other faculty and administration helped to deflect repercussions and the offending Dean covered his settlement costs by eliminating two popular and successful teachers.

Most recently, University of Richmond students started a "Richmond Confessions" Facebook page where I've seen several disturbing postings. The worst was by a new fraternity member who told of watching his frat brothers pour something into the drinks of girls who came to their parties - and to his credit, he expressed dismay.

The University of Richmond is a very powerful presence in Richmond and hugely bankrolled by a bevy of wealthy donors. If they want to blacklist you from local employment, they can. Several years ago, a VCU student intern in the UR counseling program C.A.P.S. committed suicide and few on campus knew about it but the Director of the program was dismissed - what's up with that?

There is a *warehouse* of skeletons at the University of Richmond and I'll bet ANONYMOUS can expose them. A hit like this to the university would do righteous damage to their slick PR campaigns that portray the campus as a progressive, diverse, and caring community - all of which is false.

Posted on tomorrow's rally FB event page.

This entire affair has rattled me. When I am rattled, I write. I wrote this open letter to my three daughters tonight as a way to try to convey to them the fear I have for them as their father, and my determination to protect them from monsters like Matthew Barnett. I'm sorry if posting it here is inappropriate - but I wanted to share it with those of you who feel as I do about what happened to Daisy, and to help others understand why I am throwing my support behind the #Justice4Daisy movement.
---------------------------------------------------------------
An Open Letter to my Daughters

You used to be so small. I remember lying on my back, with your itty bitty little bodies resting peacefully on my chest, watching you sleep. The time I spent in the Marine Corps taught me how to protect that which was precious to me – my liberty, my family and my fellow Marines. It also hardened me. But it didn’t harden me so much that I was able to hold back the tears when each of you were born, or when I bounced you on my knee and your tiny toothless face smiled up at me, giggling, or the first time you called me daddy. I tried to do my best as your father. I didn’t always do the greatest job, but it seemed to bring you comfort and helped you sleep when I assured you that there were no monsters under your bed, and nothing evil hiding in your closet.

But you are not entirely safe, my sweet little girls. And though there are no monsters under your bed –there ARE monsters in the world, and you need to be afraid of them. And yes, I know I taught you to not be afraid. And you do not need to live in fear. But these monsters are often disguised as playful, fun-loving guys, and they are not always easy to identify. They may shower you with pretty words, or charm you with their good looks, their athletic skills, their intellect, their fancy cars or their sugary smiles. But some of them are as dangerous as vipers, and they want nothing more than to hurt you. They see you as a conquest; as a thing and not as a person. They don’t care about your feelings. They don’t care about your dreams. They don’t care about you at all. They want to use you and discard you. They want to brag about what they took from you when they return to the pit with the other vipers. They are spiritually empty. They are full of pride and vanity. They are evil.

Not all men are like these vipers. Most men are good men, I think. They may shower you with affection, flowers and pretty words, but they will also lay a foundation of respect and responsibility when they interact with you. They will treat you with dignity. They will behave around you in private and in public as though your Marine father was shadowing their every move. And not because I will be – but because it is in their character to be a natural extension of your father’s protection, and not someone you need to be protected from. I hope you find someone like this, my beautiful baby girls. And I hope, for my part as your father, that I have given you the tools of discernment, so that you can quickly detect the vipers and not allow yourselves to be hurt by them.

But if you do fall victim to a viper, never be afraid to run back to me for protection and cover. And God help the man who hurts you. I swear to you, my beloved daughters, that I will exhaust every resource, burn every bridge and tear down the walls of Hell itself to exact justice on anyone who victimizes you. I wish there were no monsters in your world; but there are. And while I may not always be able to protect you from the monsters, if one of them does slip through your defenses and injures you, he will meet your father and he will answer for his actions. And if he knows what is best for him he will never bother you again. God put me on this earth and brought you into my life, and tasked me with teaching you and protecting you. And that is what I intend to do. You have my word.

Love always,

Daddy

<3

That quote from mommyish.com originated from a pastebin of a letter written by Melinda Coleman to Anonymous. Here it is, in it's entirety:

The following is a message from Daisy Coleman's mother, Melinda Coleman, who has asked that this be publicized in efforts for their feelings toward the Maryville community be made.

We would just like everyone to know that Maryville is NOT a terrible town. We love so many people there and really were happy there until 1-9-12. Some families there are truly great friends!!! The school was incredible and tried so hard to protect my children.....above and beyond the call of duty. The coaches....even of those boys.....were great and supportive of us. In fact, the wrestling coach and his wife are the best people you could ever know! Truly protected us the best they could. Our horrible experience included a few bad ones that just aggressively went after us......and some people in power that didn't do their job or protect us. A lot of people did support as much as they were able. To those people I am so grateful! And to the people who tried to defend us but were also terrorized and threatened......I'm sorry you suffered for us but I love you dearly for trying to help us. We wanted to stay in Maryville. We would have stayed if there was a fair investigation and I had felt my children could be safe. I left for fear for our safety from the family that thinks it's a little mafia....their threats were very violent.
I would never condone an violent protest and all of the protestors have been asked to simple carry a daisy or daisies. A reporter told me innocent people in Maryville were being threatened. I checked in to that and found out that the only "threats" have been people sending daisies to the courthouse. I think that sounds nice and not very threatening. I do NOT condone violence in our defense. I don't want others terrorized as we have been. I want everyone to have peace. I also believe that having only Matt Barnett's mother speak at the press conferences after Sheriff White and Robert Rice, the Prosecuting attorney, clearly illustrates the connection of their family and the powers to be. It was a press release......not a pep rally.

Thank you and God Bless!
Praying for justice, no more cyber bulling or rape and fairness for all!

Melinda Coleman

Here is part of the live stream of the rally. Camera panning area before it begins shows many more than 70-80 people. Rally was reportedly peaceful, local police were polite, and more pictures to come. It was cold, windy, and many people were probably not able to get to Maryville after work in time for the rally. It's a small town out in the middle of nowhere. Plus, parking restrictions meant people had to walk quite a distance to get to the actual rally spot. Had it been held on a Saturday, I'd guess there would be many more attendees.

Thanks so much for the links, Win!.

Good discussion in the comments to the Kansas City Star 19 Oct article, which itself contains useful links to dox on the case.

I can only applaud the newspaper investigation and the activists who pushed for the rally and the re-examination of the case, while appreciating their measured reactions to unfolding events.

The harassment of the children, the firing of the mother from her job, and crucially, the burning down of her house, tells me at least that the good people of Maryville need to look at their own actions, and be held to account for them.

Some businesses in town and a college are fighting a onslaught of bad internet reviews.
It's harder to support a rapist after the girl has been left to die. This boy had an important family but was a small time criminal and probably not very popular in the town.

I agree. Apparently, RIce has made a statement that his change of mind (can hardly accuse him of having anything like a heart) was brought about by CNN's coverage. But we know who runs this - and why CNN covered it, for that matter!
