Seriously I can give you many reasons why 'Anonymous' is evil but it will probably break the tnc's.
What groups such as LulzSec and Anonymous do is attempt to stop the average person having a choice at all. In engaging in a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against a business, so-called hacktivists are not promoting freedom: they are using force to promote their views, and removing the choices other people would have made.
It’s one thing to attempt to convince people to change their view – but there are many ways of doing this. Some of the recent non-violent rallies against Walmart (in response to a sexual discrimination lawsuit) in the US are examples of one, non-dogmatic approach.
Force and coercion do not create freedom – they only create fear, uncertainty and doubt.

I encourage all readers of this post to grab the nearest keyboard and harass people who happen to be successful in a business that stereotypically is viewed as "villainy". Never mind any specifics or any actual results, just let loose on anyone that happens to have a job that you don't like!
After all, even though you do not know them, they must be evil and worth your ire simply because the have the job title of "Banker".

nope but you can gather 500 people and block the entrance way in legally
No you can not. That is a lie.

You do not have the right to block a building entrance or physically harass people. The general rule is that free speech activity cannot take place on private property, including outdoor malls, without the consent of the property owner. You do not have the right to remain on private property after being told to leave by the property owner.
Or am i misunderstanding your sentence? Its not clear.
im pretty sure the 4000 bankers are not the "product"
I am pretty sure they are human beings i do not know.edit on 4-2-2013 by TsukiLunar because: (no reason given)

I like that people think "dos attacks" are "peaceful protesting". I guess going into a McDonalds and nailing the doorway shut so customers cant get in is "Peaceful protesting" as well. Nice to know that i can block customers access to a product just because i don't like it. Make this whole "protesting" thing so simple!

Gosh ATS, you are right. What was i thinking. It is my right to harass people who i feel have wrong someone somewhere. Specific target? Pfff, no need. Every banker everywhere is a bastard. True story.
Thank you ATS for clearing this up.

Personally I think that Anon is the government creating the chaos on the internet so that people will accept the coming censorship without whining too much. But what they don't seem to understand is that's all people do is whine, they don't do anything else and just keep voting the same criminal politicians back into office. If they're not government I would like to see them give out the addresses, phone numbers, etc of all Congress and Cabinet members of this crooked administration.

You do realize that if they did this the government would immediately arrest you under suspicion of colluding with Anonymous right? Weather you are guilty or not, this very act could destroy your life.

That's the beauty of computer security. There seems to be an antidote to almost everything. Look at countries with very strict internet laws such as China or North Korea. Even people there manage to keep the government on it's feet when it comes to this topic and this is no different to the situation in the western world.
They find a flaw, it gets fixed, they find another flaw, it gets fixed. It's a never ending game and the people in charge of security always seem to be a step behind.
The reason the security experts are always and will always be a few steps behind, is they get a salary. This means they have money to spend, a wife to "cuddle", children to take care of, a house and bills to pay etc. That takes up alot of time.
The hackers are mostly 100% commited to what they do, nolifers with very little money to spend as a consequence, giving them more time to find exploits and dig around on forums/irc with fellow hackers. More time to find the truth and educate themselves then the wage-slaves opposing them.
