    Not sure Anon is dissasosciating itself?

    In article:

    >> The hacktivist collective has disassociated itself from Lizard Squads' antics a Twittering rep saying it gave "zero fuck" about the former's assault on the Sony Network. ®

    What they said:

    >> @jaylanjones1231 We give Zero Fucks @LizardSquad party on dudes.

    They seem to be encouraging Lizard Squad

    Sounds like they doing it for the LOLz

    I wonder how much they will be laughing when American police send in the sheriff department's 3rd armed division.

      "I wonder how much they will be laughing when American police send in the sheriff department's 3rd armed division."

      I imagine that they would be in hysterics as the typical American doesn't have a passport, has little if any knowledge of global geography, is too fat to walk any distance, can't swim....and is so poorly trained that they are as much a danger to friends as foes when given high powered weaponry...

      If they say they are doing it for ISIS, expect swift rendition from wherever they are, a little bit of water boarding and free bright orange clothing at a certain non-pirate bay. Obama has a PS4 right?

      3rd armed division? Shows what you know. Obviously the 4th armed division would be deployed while holding the 3rd in reserve. :)

      This is 'Murica. All cops are armed. These guys will get SWAT. Armed more heavily than many countries' infantry, with fewer Rules of Engagement, and absolutely Zero Fucks* given about collateral damage to persons or property.

      They will then be flown (without passports) to a tropical island to experience simulated drowning and the joys of ECT (I understand Simon and Steven are working there on a contract, which explains the dearth of BOFH stories).

      "I forget, is that Celsius or Fahrenheit?"

      Neither, its "Fuckinheit", or in warmer climes, its pronounced "Fuckinhawt".

    Its more than

    likely a couple of 15 yr olds annoyed at Sony and Microsoft for booting them off their networks for hacking after they bought a "sony or microsoft cant detect this hack" from some dodgy russian website.

    Take 'em out and shoot them I say 9mm revolutionary justi... damn forgot the revolution has been postponed for economic reasons.
